Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Ice, I have to tell you... although I am not there yet to change the way I dress... My 28th Birthday was in March, right before my surgery on the 6th of April and a very good friend of mine who is completely supportive of the surgery and has been holding my hand along the way got me a $75.00 's Secret gift card. I am so excited to be able to use that card! I have never ever been able to shop there. (unless I just wanted parfume) I will finally be able to go into all the stores I want to shop in and I am SOOOO excited for that! : ) Thanks for opening that dream up just a little more for me!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I just wanted to look like everybody else. I wanted to be comfortable and not stand out. So, I chose nice tees from LL bean (nice price too!) and jeans, which I haven't worn for years. Simple, non-trendy clothes will never go out of style 11/18/03 284/249 preop/181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Ice, And I think that is a dream of us all. I am so looking forward to being able to shop in any store that I wish. I am so tired of being able to only go to one plus size store or catalogs to buy all of my clothes. I can't even shop at Lane anymore because I am too big. How freeing that will be to be able to walk into anywhere and shop for clothing. I fear I will become a clothes horse after the surgery.
