Shut the Front Door

almost four months out from my sleeve. started at a size 20/22. went shopping this last weekend, as my pants were literally falling off. took a size 14 into the dressing room "just to see".   when they fit, i looked at myself in the mirror and said, "shut the front door". someone in the dressing room next to me laughed. i know size is not everything but for some reason being able to wear a size 14 jean is AMAZING!!!!! have not been this size in over twelve years.   my knees/ankles no longer

Nerves Before Surgery

hello,   first, i would like to thank all those who share their stories. i have been able to find so much information and have had many questions answered.   my surgery is 23 days away and i am starting to get really nervous. i have been in this process for a while and i am sure it is the right step for me. now that it is finally "real" with the surgery scheduled, i am experiencing anxiety.   does anyone have any tips or words of wisdom to lessen the pre-surgery anxiety?   thank you.
