thanks ladies - i don't think i could have done it without 3fc.
on some levels, it feels like it's only been a couple of years. but on other levels, so much has happened that it seems like a distance memory. however, i STILL have not managed to keep my promise to myself.
the promise: after the surgery, after plastic surgery, i promised myself that i would go to PARIS and get a perfect dress. and then, after saving enough money, i'd go to MILAN and get another one!
one of these years!

Jiff, It doesn't seem like that long! I remember how worried we were about you.
Hey, let me know when you are ready for Paris and I'll brush up my French and come along. I love Paris!

I am not a WLS gal but have watched your progress and been inspired. Thank you for continuing to post and guide. If you have been maintaining at your current weight for a long time maybe it is time and are comfortable, maybe that is the weight for plastic surgery? You deserve a fabulous Paris vacation and a stunning dress
