j.s. 0 Posted July 15, 2006 Oh my god, the shopping is just the best. Buy clothes off the rack and trying them on and them just fitting! I love that! And not having to try on a zillion things to find out they just dont fit right or they dont look good! Now I can try on a zillion things and cant decide what to put back when I am over my limit. Last weekend I went to a fair and just wore my sandals, walked around all day long in them and my feet felt just fine. My ankles were not swollen. Being able to go up and down my stairs without wanting to keel over! Running to the phone and not being out of breath! So many things are good. Painting my toenails! So many things.....

Bensmum1109 0 Posted July 15, 2006 :kiss2: My stomach is concave now. Well at least when I'm lying down. I can groom my nether regions and actually see what I am doing. I can run around Disneyland for 12-14 hours, three or four days in a row with no pain in my feet or knees. Men check me out and flirt with me!!

vinesqueen 2 Posted July 16, 2006 My favorite NSVs do not belong to me. Coyotegirl (Terri) walking a few steps for the first time in years Being able to put my arms around my husband for the first time in our relationship because he's lost so much weight. My fingers actually touch! (he was 600 pounds when he was first banded 3 years ago.) My favorite NSVs that belongs to me: I didn't die from resperatory failure. My second one might sound weird, but it has to be being finally diagnosed with Cushing's. I would have never been diagnosed with it, and it too would have killed me.
