Ready now more then ever!!!!

There is nothing like trying on clothes that will remind you that you are fat!!! I needed to get a few dress pants...yeah lets just say it put a cramp in my day. In the dressing room i got really mad and was like " I can not wait to have this dang surgery" but I am trying not to let it ruin my day. I am going to try and not try on clothes again until after!

I know how you feel. But I will always be a "pear shape", bigger on bottom through my hips & thighs. Even though I have been losing, I still have my angry moments in the dressing rooms.

I know how you feel. I refuse to buy any new clothes until after the surgery!

Jess and sharie, just wait until AFTER surgery. You are constantly having to buy clothes. It is, however, a little more fun to buy smaller sizes each time. Prior to surgery, I was in a tight 26/28, so I dreaded trying things on. I was always worried that the biggest size wouldn't fit.:biggrin: I am also curvy, so I went from a right fit blue size 6T to a right fit blue size 1T. I started wearing the 1T about 9 months post op. It goes kind of quick, so put money aside to buy.

How long until your surgeries?

I have my appointment with the coordinator tomorrow at 1:30:thumbup:. I am hoping to have it early September. I am self pay so I don't have to wait on any insurance or anything!!! I am very excited to have the process going this fast!

Good luck and let me know how you appt goes tomorrow. My process went quickly too. It is exciting!

I don't have a surgery date yet. I am waiting on the committee to approve me then I will meet with the surgeon. I think I will get a piggy bank to start saving for new cothes. :smile2:
