Default A WOW Moment to share

I posted this at "that other" WLS site but felt it belonged here too. Thanks for listening.

From 11/8/06
I had a WOW moment today that's kinda weird.

I had put on knee-hi stockings with my outfit for work, after the gym. They just kept falling down every time I took a step. I ran into the local supermarket to pick up dinner and purchased a pair of pantyhose there. I changed into them in the Ladies Room in the supermarket, standing up.

That's when it hit me. I actually fit into cheap supermarket pantyhose. No running around like a crazy woman trying to find something that will go over my thighs and butt. I had to sit in my car for a bit and cry, I was so overwhelmed.

I just knew you would understand.

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.

Thats so awesome Robin. I know how you feel. I remember the first time i was able to fit into a pair of regular size pantyhose. That was a huge WOW moment for me too!

Congrats.

That is great !!!!I had a similar experience like that a few weeks ago. I had to buy new pantyhose for the first time post op, and so while shopping at Wal-Mart, 1)all I could find was queen size and 2) I didn't even know what size to get!

There are so many great WOW moments to come!!! I wish you many more of them.
