I agree with both of you. I went shopping this weekend to get a few spring outfits. I had a terrible time. I can fit in a size 14 pants but, I have to "tuck in" my extra skin. A size 16 fits better in the hips with the extra skin but is too big along my waist. A size 12/14 shirt fits nicely, but the flaps under my arms are so painful for me to see. My family says it isn't as noticable to anyone else, but it really bothers me. I feel like I looked better at 340 pounds. I was comfortable with my appearance before and had the surgery for other health reasons. My health has improved greatly and I am very very happy. I feel so vain.... I am going back to my surgeon May 17 to discuss a small insisonal hernia and TT. I am going to ask his opinion about having additional plastic surgery. This forum is so nice. It seems everytime I am trying to deal with any problem associated with WLS, someone else is going throught the same thing. Thanks for being there when I need to vent or have a sympathetic ear!

Hello family just wanted to say a quick hello and that I miss you dearly, all is well here in Germany, my partner will be joining me here in June and My mom and My son are coming for the summer. The job is fine. We are still fighting the house issue in Georgia but God will handle that.. I hope all is well to all the new faces hello and I will try to stay intouch more often. I did start really working out and it feels great thanks Japii for your inspiration. I rode the bike for 6 miles on yesterday , walked a mile and taught my African dance class.
