Major WOW moment for me.....

I did something tonight that I would have NEVER done 9 months ago... I live in Greer and they are starting to have these outside concerts on Fridays. I actually went to hear the Catalina's... and by myself. No one with me... hoping that everyone would be looking at them instead of me... no taking my husband (he was working) so that everyone could see that yeah, I can get a man. Before surgery, I would have wanted to go but wouldn't... now I want to go and just do it!!!! I loved every minute of it... I did not worry one time that the people talking or laughing around me were talking ABOUT me or laughing AT me!  WOW.. I would do this surgery again in a heartbeat... I can't wait to lose the rest of my weight... it kind of inspired me and kicked my butt into MOVE IT mode. Thank you Lord for letting me have surgery and for all my new found friends because of it.  I love you all!!!!   Oh, yeah!!! 

Oh  Pam, this is one of the best "wow" moments I have read on here. It's better than going to a smaller size in clothes, dropping more pounds after a stall, just about anything else that might cause us to have a "wow" moment. This just proves that we can over come things that have held us back from having fun and being the person that has been hiding inside us all these years. Isn't it amazing what this surgery can do for us, not just the weight loss but the new confidence that it instills in us, being able to do things we would have never dreamed of doing just a few short months ago. You go girl, your "wow" moment is super fantastic, and your a beautiful lady inside and out. I'm glad I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know you. Mary

Thanks Mary... I actually feel like I have been "set free".  The smaller clothes and lost pounds are a great benefit but the increase in my self esteem was so worth the surgery.  I am so glad that I can call you my friend... you are looking so wonderful my friend.  I love you... Pam

I am so happy for you.   This kind of WOW moment is the best.  It means you have your self confidence back and are feeling good about yourself.  The clothes size is so far down the list of the truly GREAT things we are experiencing....Congratulations!  

Thanks Susann.. I so agree about getting your self confidence back... I thought I never  would even see my self esteem again.  Love Pam 

OMG Pam you have brought tears to my eyes.  This is so wonderful!!!!  I am so happy for you.  Your WOW moment is truly one of the best.  It is all about the way this surgery changes us.  The confidence, the self acceptance, the ability to just do it.  I am so happy and proud of you right now.   I am sooooo glad that you are my friend!!!  I love you!!!!!!
