I have one appointment left. It was a lot of testing (all required by my surgeon, not the insurance). Then I am just a little over two weeks away! I'm excited and nervous both. I am glad I had...

I really look forward to enjoy buying clothes again. It will be awhile, as surgery hasn't even happened yet, but I look in shops thinking "Some day..." I did buy some fabulous new frames in the...

First, congrats! Second, I haven't had my surgery yet, but I did start seriously exercising a year ago. Though I have only lost around 30 lbs. since then, it seems like 50 in the way that clothes...
