ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted October 7, 2012 happiness is having WLS, the sleeve for medical reason i am prone to fall. i haven't fallen in a few months. when i fall, i have to turn, roll on my knees ( both have been replaced) and with difficulty get up. i fell the other day, i got up a lot better than i usually do. I was so happy. I said to my DH, hmmm, do you think this has anything to do with my weight loss (lifting up 90 lbs less of me?) DH and i were walking today, i was walking pretty well, better than my usual tortoise pace - i said hey, do you think i'm walking better from my weight loss? i went to the mall today for the first time in a long time, i bought a smart phone. in the past, i wouldn't have gone into a big mall, amongst many people - my confidence is way up there now i am a happier person thanx to the sleeve - i am hanging around too, working hand and arm in the sleeve :D 4 kmwheel, sramos89, LindaS and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susmcmur 124 Posted October 7, 2012 Congratulations!!! These are such significant victories, and must make you feel fantastic! Look at you, buying a new smart phone and taking your cute self to the mall. Don't ever be shy to go out and about. You are a beautiful spirit on this board and always have an encouraging word and an uplifting thought to share. Don't hide your light! BTW, did you notice your weight loss slow around six months? Or has it been steady? Thanks for any advice! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
