Tell me a story...

I hope you will indulge me here. I am early in my journey. Well, early in the planning/doing portion (I've been in the Thinking portion for a long, long time).

I have sort of read enough message boards and blogs and such to understand how the surgery changes your life in a practical manner... eating and drinking and Protein and small bites and PBs and tightness and exercise and support groups and fills and unfills etc.

I was hoping some of you would be willing to tell me the story of how this changed your life in other ways. Aside from the eating and such, what else is different? Confidence? Abilities to do things you couldn't before? Sex life? Work life?

Tell me a story....

Thanks.

No such luck, I still have to move them out of the way when putting on a belt!

so much has changed since I had surgery but the one thing on my mind right now is that I will be able to get on an airplane and not have to squeeze the seat belt around or even under my belly to get it to close. I will be getting on a plane in a week and I am confindent and excited that I will not have any problems with the seat belt!!! its the little things that make you go WOW!
