emsbugbug 7 Posted March 15, 2011 No longer in the 20's!!!! OK, so I had a minor meltdown in the dressing room today. I have been a size 20 something for YEARS!!!! I mean like forever! I never thought anything would go over my butt again that wasn't a 20, 22, 24, 26, 28...yes, 28, that is what I WAS before surgery. NOW, I AM AN 18!!!!!!! OMG! There were TEARS! BIG ONES!!! I know people were staring when I came out, but that is SOOOOO OK! I had tears but I was grinning from ear to ear!!! I am sure they were quite confused. Lap-Band = BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! 1 va_viv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vlp1968 83 Posted March 15, 2011 Awsome! Keep up the good work. When I went shopping after reaching goal I kept taking sizes that were way to big into the dressing room. It was a great feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
