Talking two wks post op - my first WOW

I know this isnt much, but it still felt pretty awesome...yesterday I put on a pair of jeans, the same size I have been wearing for eons, and went to run errands. When I got out of my car, my jeans were so loose that I immediately checked to see if they were still buttoned and they were! I told my teenagers about it, and they wernt surprised (the actual response was, "of course mom, you can totally see how loose they are on you.") It surprised me me...Ive only lost 14 lbs since my surgery. I cant wait for more of these moments, they feel amazing!

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.

Congrats!!!
Now, make sure you have a belt for your jeans, as you may end up in a rather embarrassing situation

Waddayamean, it's not much?!?!? This is confirmation that your pouch is working and that you are able to ride this ride!! Not much?? This is just the first of many, many more, so get ready for your life to change in ways you've never even thought of!

And, like the good doctor said, better make sure you don't have any public "wardrobe malfunctions"!!
