Let me start by saying that a friend of mine has this vest she wears that I LOVE! I keep telling her she needs to give it to me. Doesnt matter tht she is a size 6/8 an I am a size 18/20 on top, I still want it lol. Of course she always tells me no you cant have it!

Well today we had a shopping date, and it was the first time seeing her since my surgery on the 27th. She hands me a bag and tells me to look... inside is a brand new vest size 10. She said she knows that eventually I will fit into it but left the receipt and tags just in case I want to get a smaller size.

I love her! She was not a huge supporter of the surgery in the begining because she was afraid for me. Now, I don't think there is a bigger show of support that she could have shown me.

Just thought I would share.

Those are the best moments cherished between friends ! ! !

My really good friend is just as supportive as yours is! I haven't been sleeved yet but she is already has my back 110%. I wish to death she wasn't so far away (she is in NY/NJ and I am in FL) but I am still so thankful for her Between her and my mom I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. I am so glad that you have that support as well! Please post pics of that vest once you get into it!!

Awesome friend! You are blessed to have her.

a true blessing! Glad you have her!

Wow. What a great friend! Mine are supportive too and that is a blessing for us given the sad experiences of some people on this board.

That's RAD! Such a good feeling to know there are real friends out there!

awwww that's so sweet! I know when Asia put a handmade necklace around my neck and said "sisters" it almost made me cry it was so sweet. Friendships like that are the ones that you cherish for a lifetime

My Mom used to tell me if you can count on one hand how many TRUE friends you have in your life then you are a very lucky person. I feel so overwhelmingly lucky for the friends that I have in my life. They are truly my sisters from other misters LOL.

That's just too sweet!

That is so wonderful and worth it's weight in gold and diamonds. Hold on to her. My Bestie/Road Dawg is my sister (2sweetnsugarland). The older we have gotten the closer we have gotten. We do everything - I mean everything together. We are having this surgery together...tomorrow. I love her to pieces yall.

Raine - hold on to her...she is a precious gift from God. I'm gonna hold on to mine!

What an awesome story, thank you for sharing with us. It's so nice to hear the good things in relationships, when we can hear so much negative sometomes.

@LadyVelvet - best wishes on your surgery tomorrow, both of you!

I absolutely intend on doing just that! She is and will always be very special to me. My life is better with her in it.

Good luck on your sugery tomorrow! Please let us know how things are progressing once you are up to it.

Thank you Ladies! Will definately keep you posted.

See ya on the Slim Side!

That brought tears to my eyes. She is a keeper!
