I had to go to the hospital today to get my annual mammogram and the tech gave me a regular size gown and it fit!! Woo Hoo, no more waiting while the tech tries to find the super size gown that used to have to wear!! Yeah!!!

Or when they don't have to.change to bigger cuff for the.blood pressure machine! Lol
Congratulations! That must have been a great feeling!

That was a great moment too!! There are so many things other than the number on the scale. It all just makes life so much easier.

Good for you! I look forward to that day - though my tech doesn't bother to look - I just stand there feeling like a fool.

Oh Kelly - you just hit home with me!! Hoping for the skinny gown next time I go too :)

I can feel your happiness over that.
Had a mammogram right before my surgery, there was a pile of gowns in the changing room but the tech opened a closet and gave me a different one
I asked if this was a larger size than the pile. She said yes, a little
hesitantly.
I said that's ok, but won't need that next yr
Can't wait to get a gown from the regular pile!!
A big wake up call I made the right decision for WLS
