laurenella82 625 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Tonight for the first time in a long time, I went to the club. I went with my God brother and his wife (I call her my sister) and I had an awesome time! For the first time in at least 10 years I didn't feel like the fat ass outcast. I'm not sure if it's the little boost of confidence I have since the surgery or the awesomeness of the people I was with. I think it may have been both because I went on a cruise with some of these people about a year ago and I didn't feel the same then. I'm grateful for them and for the surgery! Tonight confirms that I'm surrounded by supportive friends who love unconditionally AND that I did the right thing for me having this surgery. God is so awesome and I am eternally grateful!!

able2cope 193 Posted March 29, 2015 I'm so glad that you had a nice time and felt this way when you were out - yes these moments are wonderful. I've not been to a club (yet), but nowadays I can eat in front of people (strangers) and not feel like everyone must be looking at me and thinking that I'm an oddity... moments to cherish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Sky 89 Posted March 29, 2015 That is wonderful, Lauranella!! It's amazing how the results of this surgery can be so lifting! It's literally and figuratively like a weight has been lifted. Our ability to enjoy ourselves at a club or out to dinner is greatly impacted by our perception of ourselves and I also am grateful for the difference this surgery has made.
