So I'm 4 weeks post-op and I'm feeling great. I had a crazy, busy, fun weekend with a big family dinner to Celebrate multiple birthdays and then a wedding. I felt fabulous, I looked fabulous. I had some pain eating a little bit - not chewing enough, trying some new things - but I was able to walk it off and I danced my behind off at the wedding. I received so many compliments on my dress, on how I looked and everyone just said I glowed. It was pretty wonderful.

Here is a little before and after photo. The green dress is from June 2013 at my highest weight of 301. The black dress is from last night, 60 pounds lighter. (30 pre-op, 30 post-op) I love the transformation so far and can't wait to take more pictures - and I never recall saying that before haha

There are more before and after photos on my profile. Feel free to take a peak!!

All the best,

Hana

Thank you!! I got it last minute, at Nordstroms, in the regular women's section! An XL but I didn't need to go to the plus size section, so that was fabulous!

Thank you everyone!!!

Funny story about the dress - at least in hindsight!!

I actually purchased 3 or 4 dresses for this wedding - I didn't know what size I was going to be, what would look good, what would actually work. So I spent a couple of weeks ordering things online - all plus size retailers - getting everything together for my drive up to NY.

I'm 3 hours into my 4 hour drive, crossing through Staten Island (from Maryland) and realized that I left allllllll the dresses hanging up in my apartment, right next to my door. I remembered everything else but completely forgot the actual dresses!!!

Needless to say, I was panicked! I couldn't believe it. My weekend was so busy that I had maybe 2 or 3 hours total, across two days, to find a dress and accessories. I was freaking out, big time.

However, I found this dress finally. 2 hours at Lord & Taylor and Nordstroms and this was the last dress I tried on and it was perfect. Better than anything I had forgotten at home!

Somehow, it all worked out in the end :)

You look great and so happy!

You look fabulous!
