NSV - And So Happy
I am so glad that I had this surgery. After a little over 4 months, I have lost 70lbs. What has this done:
1. I have so much more confidence. I am HAPPY with me. I have 70 lbs more to go, but whatever, I feel great!
2. I can walk up and down the stairs.
3. I want to have sex all the time....my husband has a new girlfriend - me!!!
4. I can bend to tie my shoes.
5. I can fit into the Upper Class sleep beds on Virgin Atlantic with room to spare.
6. Airplane rides are comfortable and I can cross my legs.
7. I cross my legs all the time!!!!
8. I am no longer incontinent!!! I went commando to a formal event - no worries. So huge for me.
9. I got a Brazilian bikini wax. It didn't even hurt! I guess after having your insides rearranged, hair removal is a snap.
10. I can run when I exercise. I'm up to 50 minutes on the treadmill and elliptical - with a 10 minute run. I can't wait to be at 20 minutes.
I feel like me, but the me I always wanted to be. This is the best gift I have every given to myself.
You sound so happy! Congrats!!

The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
Awesome!
