Thumbs up one of my first few NSVs!

I'm almost 3 weeks out from surgery right now.

The other night I was wearing some jean shorts that fit *perfectly* before surgery. I stood up in the livingroom while my husband was sitting on the couch and said "watch". I then proceeded to pull my shorts off without unzipping or unbuttoning them! Woohoo!!

We were out geocaching on Thursday because we wanted to do something to celebrate our wedding anniversary (Woo, 4 years!). We were tracking down a 12-part multi-cache and my husband told me I had some dirt on my t-shirt by my stomach. I looked down but didn't see anything and then I realized I couldn't see my tummy by just looking down! I'm so used to being able to look down and see my tummy since it would stick out a little farther than my boobs. I had to move my boobs out of the way just to see my tummy!

Yeah, and my underwear is pissing me off - feels probably a size or two too large right now =\ but yay! LOL

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

OK here is the answer...Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.
