I went out to eat with my husband today. I had to use the restroom. I walked in there was a line so I lined up waiting a heavy woman she looked around 250 lbs or so. walked out of the handy capped stall.  The lady in front of the line turned and looked at me and said honey the other two small stalls are open. I said that is OK your next. She looked at me and started to laugh and said oh honey I am much to big for the small stalls but you are thin so go ahead and use one.

WOW to think a year ago I would have waited to use the handy capped stalls. I could never fit in the small ones. It felt so funny to here I am thin lol I had to make sure she was talking to me I am still surprised when someone tells me I am thin.  I know how she felt about the stalls  being to small. I used it and came out and the woman was still in the line waiting to use the bigger stall. I felt so proud of me but felt so sad for her.
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Congrats!!  It is amazing isn't it not to struggle inside a stall.  Sometimes I still do silly things that I did before andc then remember that I can do that now, fit into that now, etc.  I still have alot to go but it is amazing already.

It sure is amazing. I do not think I will ever get use to this new body. I have been over weight for 23 years and getting use to smaller cloths or the small stalls is amazing to me. Some of my friends say well look at the little you and I just think are you kidding me lol.

I love my sleeve and love the changes to when I notice them.
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

I don't 'have' to use the big stall, but it's certainly more comfy for me. And in order to really get  cleaned up, it's just hard--even at home. The thing that made me finally determined to get the sleeve was the first few times of being unable to reach 'everything' in a public stall. I can't wait until this is not an issue for me.
I know your experience must have been wonderful for you !
