dani1128 28 Posted May 22, 2013 1. Normal blood pressure and stopping those medications. 2. Shop in "normal" stores. I am only 5'2" and at 224 lbs it is very hard to shop and look cute. 3. My secret of all dreams is to get pregnant next year and have a baby. I have been married 15 years and never been pregnant. I am 41 so I am already pushing it but it is my most inner desire. Having gone thru multiple rounds of invetro and suffering from pcos, I really pray and hope this is my cure and answer. 4. To feel sexy again. Hi! My biggest dream is to be able to wear shorts/skirt without feeling ashamed that people are looking at how thick my legs are(also the fact my thighs rubs each other). But my biggest dream of all is being able to go to different stores and not having to quickly see their biggest size in store. Yesterday I went to the mall and I saw all the colorful clothes, smaller size that I will be able to use next summer. I cannot wait!! WAY TO EXCITED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't wait to steal all my sisters size 10 clothes that are adorable! I'm sick of being 23 getting "Woman Within" catalogs. When I'm at my goal size I'm going to order every clothing item from every normal catalog I get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kparadisek 115 Posted May 22, 2013 Will this be the 2nd weight-loss surgery for anyone else? I am having a band removed and converting to RNY. I am also a band to bypass. I don't have my date yet but I hope it's June. I'm already approved from the insurance company so I'm just waiting on my Drs. Office to give me a date. Fingers crossed!

Mel3620 299 Posted May 22, 2013 The results I want from surgery are: 1) No more meds! and Diabetes reversed! 2) I want to put on a shirt without a "busted can of biscuits" (I passed the "muffin top" long ago) 3) I want to walk into a normal store and buy my clothes instead of the fat lady store. I know that there are many, many more things that I want to do and feel, but this is a start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No more of these huge expensive ugly bras for me. Cant wait!! I have always had big boobs even when I was thin. In fact my nickname when I was young was " betty boop". But 40DD isn't like a 32D. I want the sexy little demi cup where my husbands eyes pop Outta his head! 1 cyndi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
