 LMAO - I miss this board, only you guys can see the funny side - everyone else sees it as either wallowing in remembered self pity, or patting yourself on the back.  We just see the amusing side of how things have a changed.  It takes a lot of effort not to be telling people all the time how wonderful it is to lose weight.

Kate your new avatar looks amazing - gorgeous in fact. This wls lark really is fabulous. I rarely come on oh now, partly because my laptop hasn't been working for 6 months, but also because I'm just so much busier these days in the evening. All of a sudden things aren't too much effort.

I'll be having even less time real soon, as I take up my job as a zumba keep fit instructor, who'd have thought it!!!!!

It's not the operation costs - they were a one off. It's

* the new clothes (I went totally mad at first, I have clothes in my wardrobe I bought three years ago and they still have labels on them)

* the adventurous holidays (trekking and camping in deserts, quad biking on 1000 ft sand dunes and so on)

* the increased social life

* gym membership

This surgery costs a FORTUNE!!!

What a difference!

I'm 15 months out from surgery and still improving.  Just like you, I think the operation was worth every penny.

As I remember them, Loon Pants were hipsters with very wide legs from the thighs down.  You took three steps in them before the trousers started to move!
