Default Lets do some recent WOW'S

Ok I can cross my legs now? WOW. I called the hubby to come look @! LOL.

The seat belt extender I got when my hubby bought the new car is no longer needed. He buckled me in on purpose because im very bad about forgetting. He did this the other day at the Drs office while kissing me. He didnt realize the extender wasnt on nor did I until I went to unbuckle it when we got home. It was mainly for better comfort. I still fit in but without much room before I found an extender. ( New car makers need to get with it to extend the belt a bit for the ever growing population.) They have acutally shorten it. Yes I measured. LOL

Down from 9 regular medications to 4. One of those was added after surgery. Iron. Money savings right there.

Please add yours to this post. I cant wait to see !

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.

My husband hugged me in the kitchen and said "Wow, I can get my arms all the way around you again!"
I had to kiss the size 22 jeans goodbye! Hello 20's!

it is nice to read all of these. i too felt many of these...
being able to wash and reach places i couldn't before without the help of an extender .. haha
Bones, yes the bones, never thought i would complain about my knees touching while sleeping on my side.
being able to bring my leg up on to my lap to put on my shoes.
no more double chin, (though i think i traded it for the turkey chin) LOL
absolutely no more medication for anything.
and the fact that i just plain and simply feel better about myself.
