LAP-BAND Surgery Results | Lost 140 pounds | Tampa | Bradenton | Sarasota | Florida West Coast

How has my life changed since losing almost 140 pounds? The question is more, how has it not changed. There is not one thing that I can think of  that has not been healed or improved.

Physically – Normal improvements that follow weightloss, arthritis in my feet has improved. I can take the stairs and not huff for 1/2 hour after.
The cursed vending machine in the cafeteria – you know the one with the goodies, I was unable to reach my arm in to get candy. My arm would not fit!

Monetary – I do not have to pay $3 more for my PLUS size T-Shirts. I no longer shop in the WOMANS, and forget the MOO MOO dresses. Oh, anyone that is big knows the dress I am talking about, the one we wear anytime we do not want to have to try to squeeze ourselves into a stretch pair of pants, or the days we do not want to get out of bed. It normally has a pattern in an attempt to blend into the couch. I plan to burn mine.

Dining Out – Wow, talk about saving money. I never order for my self-just give me a couple of bites of yours. I save a fortune!

But, That is all small potatoes, the stuff that really matters is the the things you can’t see. It is my daughter wrapping her arms around me and saying I can hug you now! It is falling in love with my husband all over again.
It is riding every roller coaster in the park. It is me taking the intiative to begin new things.
It is me being certified to Scuba Dive.
It is me enjoying college courses.
I feel great, and am doing things I never could or would have 140 pounds ago.

IT IS ME.
