I went to the store last night and walking out I saw a reflection of a woman in the glass doors. She wasn't as large as me, quite a bit smaller, she looked pretty good. She was still very much overweight and needed to lose about 60 pounds but she looked good! I had to take a second look, it was me!! :w00t:Really, that smaller women in the reflection was me!! :tt1:I couldn't believe it! WOW! I really love my band, I am so glad I did this for myself!

I'm getting really excited just reading this! I'm so happy for you!

I'm having the surgery probably later this year. It's making me feel really good about it by reading stories like yours!

I KNOW!!! Don't you just love it!!!!

I had that exact same thing happen to me. Took me by surprise, but what a pleasant one!

Congrats on your weight loss and good luck to you Cindy, you'll be so glad you did it.

My brother is about to have it done too, I'm so excited for him.

Isn't it wonderful!!!! It took some getting used to for me, but I must admit that once I noticed how much my reflection has changed, I can't stop looking. Now I am always curious about reflections in windows, doors, mirrors, even shiny cars lol. Isn't it a little addicting???

My husband and I just got back from vacation. He took a lot of pictures of me. When we got them back, I was stunned. We actually had a few blown up and framed. I haven't allowed pictures of me on the walls or in an album in over 15 years!!! For once, I wasn't embarrassed....

Isn't that the best feeling ever?!

I went into a Macy's just recently with a friend and we went by the dresses and just picked up some and went to try them on - just for fun. Before the band, I never would have done this, much less walked out and let my friend see how the dress looked on me. This time, though, I did - and I looked awesome! :thumbdown:

I'm so happy for all of us! Yaaaaay!

I am 40 pounds down and just noticed the other day my upper roll is almost gone! So when I saw that in the mirror I was so excited... Now working on the love handles haha
