what an excellent question.!!! where to begin? i've lost over 110 pounds now, in just a little over five months. i don't need the seat belt extender in my car i can comfortably clean myself - everywhere i can sit in a bathtub i can polish my toenails myself i can WALK through the entire grocery store i can do a flight of steps i've gotten rid of all my 30-32 clothes when i tried on a 26-28 shirt it was too big i fit into a regular sized stadium seat at the ball game i could walk around the water park at the dells most of the day went to the movie theatre and fit into their seats as well when i look in the mirror my first reaction is 'where's the rest of me?" i'm so used to 'my tool' that i've only had one tummy ache this month life is good and i'm planning for the aging process, i didn't used to think i'd live that long i now talk to my daughters about the future with me in it i was able to stand through my dad's funeral i'm seriously thinking about driving a motorcycle next year i come home from work and have enough enery to do something my kids and husband are losing weight, too i can see my dimple when i smile which is alot more frequently these days i could go on and on. suffice it to say that life is good, this surgery has been extremely healing, and thank God for the ability to start anew. hope everyone has a good day

I agree with the other posters Sheila, this is a great question. I am going to agree with you, I am truly amazed how easy and relaxed I feel when I cross my legs. It is also amazing how easy it is to tie my tennis shoes. Before I had to huff and puff and pull my leg up tie them. Now I can bend down and still breathe. Dana Lap RNY 2-21-05 260/239/157/130??

I can tie my shoes! I can fit in an airplane seat. I can see LIGHT between my thighs. I can buy a bra in a store without ordering online. I can fit in a booth at a restaurant. woohoooo! Lynne

I know I already responded a few days ago, but I had to say...today what AMAZED me was I found my knuckles. They've been missing for so many years. I tend to waive my arms around when I'm talking and today at dinner with the boyfriend, I saw these bumps in my hands from the corner of my eye and at first I didn't even know what they were! Wow!

Sheila this is a great question and Im glad someone thought of it. I too can cross my legs didnt think of it until my sister said something about it and we all had a great laugh. I also now have my sneaker bow in the middle of my sneaker LOL sounds funny but that was one of the things I have been looking forward to since my many tries at Weigh****chers. I also do not sweat as much as I used to and can body surf again! Goldie
