Default My son won't be happy, but I'm thrilled

My 16 year old son is tall, thin build, (but not too skinny). He wears a large shirt. Tonight I had to go to the lacrosse field with my other kids, and his sweatshirt (large) was the first one I saw. I thought I'll try it but it won't fit. OH YES IT DID. Perfectly!!! My 13 yrs old best friend could only say WOW, She said she was so proud of me. What a awesome feeling. Never in a million years would I have thought I could wear his shirt. I also got below 200 hundred this week. I weighed in 2 days in a row at 198. Besides my husband and my kids, this surgery was definitly the best thing I have ever done!!!
