Learning to be this size...

What holster are you using for your C.H.? I just applied for my license here in TX and should have it in a couple weeks. I am going to carry a compact 9mm. I was just worried about finding a holster that would work practically for a large guy. Where do you usually conceal?

This is the last topic I thought I would find here on LBT! Glad you brought it up!

Sorry it took so long for the response. I was out of state for a week. I just used a basic belt holster that was nothing special. Wore long enough shirts to cover it. I carried my 1911 45cal. I resigned from law enforcement and moved to Florida and am now in the process of getting my permit down here. I can't wait I miss carrying . :nervous

The surprise photo seems to be helping me a bit. This was taken today by someone else, and when I first looked at it I didn't even realize that was me in the pic. Obviously I still have the fat-boy-garish-shirt issue to work through, but that guy in the photo almost looks like a normal dude.

Sorry for the huge size, this machine doesn't seem to have any photo edit software on it. Will fix it later

Man... Which one of those is you car??? Does yours have one of those little black ponies on a yellow background??? They tend to be a bit of a Zippy little car!:P:car::P:car::purplebananna::car::bananajump::car::Banane20::car:

Chris NJ,

Your weight loss ticker is awsome - how did you loose so much weight since May??

I was banded on 10-25-07 and have only lost 30lbs since then. Overall 55lbs, I lost 25 on my own before the surgery.

Thanks ! Your doing great yourself. Just follow the band rules. Eat healthy and exercise and it will come off quick. It has slowed down a bit for me but still coming off. I guess the less you need to lose the slower it will come off. I will be posting new pics soon to show progress.

Just after my first week, I have already STOPPED, going to the closet, grabbing a t-shirt ( 3 or 4 xl), putting my arms through the sleeves, STRETCHING it wider, then putting it on.

Cheers

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
