For comparison, Ashley wore a formal/party dress for her 16th birthday as well as a similar dress for Homecoming 2012. And, she just happened to be crowned Homecoming Queen! Couldn't resist...I'm her mom and extremely proud of her. Check out the difference in the way dresses fit her. Ashley has not lost a lot of weight since her 16th birthday, the difference is from her posture being straightened. Dresses for some reason were always a nightmare to fit, but as you can see, not anymore.
Pre-Surgery, 16th birthday
She's not going to like this one (her bestie has just stuffed her mouth full of birthday cake)!
This is a good pic because it demonstrates how her chest was rounded down onto her stomach and her hips were pitched forward. The kyphosis always made her look heavier because of the frontal compression.

Beautiful Posture
Homecoming Banquet
So, folks, that's the update for today. She's doing fantastic and we give God all the praise and thanksgiving for gifting Dr. Hey with his superb surgical talents.
