Looking Good. Can anyone else give their input?

Hi all. I just wanted to give alittle upbeat info to preop patients and all who have recently had surgery. The other day I went into a new store that opened in my town. Had never heard of it but there were some pretty clothes in the window. When I walked in, the lady immediately asked me if she could help me and when I said that I was looking for some pants she smiled and sheepishly said "honey, this is a store for large women, you need to go to a teen shop or something because we have nothing here for you". What an uplifting experience! I never thought that day would come. Also, I met a friend of mine at my new workplace orientation that I had not seen in over 5 years. When I spotted her, I ran up to her, threw my arms around her and told her how happy I was to see her. She backed off quickly and looked at me funny, and said that she had no idea who I was! When I told her who I was, she was shocked. It's these little things that go a long way to building up our confidence once again. I hope that all of the postops will share these stories with all of the rest of us. They are stories filled with such hope, humor and rebuilding of a person who may have lost alot of his or her self confidence. I think it will help the preop people to see the best results of this surgery. Please share your stories with everyone. Hopefully, this will be the first of many sweet stories for us all to see.
