20. Today alone Ive been called 'skinny mini' 3 times so far. I am FAR from skinny but its still nice to hear.

Im sure there are more but 20 is a pretty good number so far. I love my teeny tiny tummy! Have a great day

Thank you so much!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR LIST!!! So, VERY encouraging!!!

I'm still post op and basically starting over with a new clinic and surgeon after a bad experience with the first. But, I know eventually I will have a list like this and it makes me cry with joy to know it will happen.

Congratulations to you and may you continue to have NSV's and SV's as well!!!

Congratulations on your NSV's! Those are amazing and an added bonus. It truly is amazing how life changes.

Congratulation so encouraging! I think sometimes we focus on the number instead of all the victories like those along the way!
