The Suspender Story

My DH had WLS April, 2005. We were getting married in June and by the end of May, he had already lost about 50#. We were in Walmart, communicating by cellphones at times, at opposite ends of the store. He was in the Camera Department, looking at memory cards for our digital camera to use at the wedding. He is tall, 6'8" but the card he wanted was on the very top shelf. He used an oxygen tank at the time, and had to reach over it and the cart to grasp the memory card off the top. Lo and behold, down went his summer shorts! Of course, being in the high crime area of the store, I am sure he was caught on film by the security cameras! When he phoned to tell me of his embarassment, I couldn't help but laugh until tears ran down my cheeks! I have threatened to get his sister, a Walmart manager in a different store, to see if she can get ahold of that security tape! From then on, until he could afford smaller clothes, he wore suspenders, come rain or come shine! He has now lost over 200# and looks great! No more oxygen and off of 14 of 17 meds! My surgery is next week...I will be pleased to do half as well as he has. Jennie aka OcutieObiggsie

that's too funny!! I was watching AFV the other day and was watching one video that had an overweight man (about 40lbs over) and he was vacuuming the carpet. Took me a second to realize he was wearing suspenders on his undies!! LOLOL!!
