Default Its the Little "wows" that make me SMILE
I came to the realization this week at work that during meetings I was able to comfortably cross my legs -- that feels SO GOOD!!

Also, for the first time in a very long time, my husband is able to put his arms COMPLETELY around me when he gives me a hug -- that feels REALLY GOOD!!

I also realized that what used to be my "waddle walk" has begun to come back to my "wiggle walk".

And one more just for laughs -- with the weather getting cooler, I was finally able to wear my "new" fall black leather boots (which I had bought on sale before my surgery) Of course, I had bought "wide calf" boots **LOL** my calfs are NOT as wide anymore!! I could stick my whole hand inside the calf of the boot when it was zipped up -- that was amazing! But it also means I won't get to wear them too much longer!! Oh well!

Any other little WOWs you want to add???

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.

Crossing my legs was a big thing for me, almost to big I did it all the time, work, home riding in the car, so much so that I did some nerve damage and had a floppy foot for a while. I could not lift my foot (bend at the ankle). I had to wear a brace for three months to help heal itself. thank gosh it did cause I was always tripping. So be care on how much you do it!! Congrats!!!
