Guest Kylie225 Posted July 8, 2005 hi everyone, My names Kylie, I am 16years old. I am still playing the games my doctor wants me to do before she recommends surgery. of course I had this talk with her before I knew about LapBand. I have to go see her September 1, 2005 I will talk to her about this then. It is great to hear all these stories everyone has. It gets me really anxious and excited. Congrats on everyones NSV:banana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vinesqueen 2 Posted August 8, 2005 This weekend at the Beach I discovered that forgot a jacket. So I had to buy a new one. I picked up a 2x and it fit fine. A lttle roomy but that's okay. Wait a second... The sleeves are a bit long. Let's try the XL. I know, I know, an XL? that's crazy talk. Hey! this XL is pretty roomy... but the sleeves fit. so. I had this totally insane idea... What would happen if I try on a Large? oh, it's never going to fit, it won't even zip up. Nah.. I'm too fat for a LARGE. oh my gawd, she's actually going to try to put on a LARGE jacket??? What, is she nuts? Is she a glutton for punishment? No! She's the proud owner of a poweder blue fleese Long Beach Washington jacket!!! SIZE LARGE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted August 8, 2005 Now THAT would feel great. Numbers on the scale dont mean that much to me, I find I can be at the heavy end of my normal range and still have my clothes feel lose or vice versa. I have a bad habit of buying clothes that dont fit me :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
