Default 16 months post-op and still having wow moments!

This week I was able to fit into my wedding dress again, I've been married 34 years in Feb. never thought I'd be able to fit into that dress again but I do, oh and apparently I've shrunk...it's a lot longer on me than it was when I first wore it. LOL

Then the other wow is that I bought my first coat today without having to order it from a plus size catalog! My husband and I went to Target today and I found a cute coat that I like so I tried it on, my DH said it looks good but you need the smaller size!! I can't wait for the cold front that's coming on Friday so I can wear my new heavy coat, it's so nice to be able to wear clothes from the store, and not even the plus size section of the store!!!

Even this far out life just keeps getting better!!

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.

Oh Nell, I can't wait to see you in that dress! I tried to get mine on a couple weeks ago and I couldn't yet. I too didn't store my correctly and its yellowed a bit. Do your know if they can get it out at a cleaners or are they yellowed for good?

Judi I don't think there is anything that can take the yellow out unfortunately, I don't know what I was thinking way back then not storing it properly. It's a very plain dress, we were married in my brother's home but it's special to me and I'm so very happy that I can put it on and zip it up!!

Wow....I waited until I was 40 to get married, and my dress is a size 3X. I kept it, but maybe I'll burn it now !! Hubby and I plan a trip to Hawaii in March, and you ladies have inspired me to ask him if he'd like to renew our vows there..and I could get a NEW dress!! Woohoo
