More Happy
MGB Patients | Hello All!
I haven't written in a LONG TIME! My name is Kory and I had my surgery on Feb 20th, 2008 with Dr. R in Vegas. I wanted to share a great moment with all of you. I have been heavy my ENTIRE LIFE...well at least since age 5. I am a Marine Wife and each year we have celebrate the birthday of the Marine Corps at the Marine Corps ball. It is a very formal event where the women wear gowns etc. I have always loved going to the ball, but dreaded finding a gown that fit and was of course uncomfortable all night knowing I looked like a HOUSE in my gown. Well NOT THIS YEAR! This was the FIRST ball since my surgery. I went shopping for a gown with my mom. I was able to buy a gown OFF the RACK and it fit me PERFECT! I am pleased to say I wore a size 6 petite! It was a GORGEOUS Gown and I received SOOO many compliments. For the first Ball in 12 years, I was HAPPY, felt comfortable and could wear a pair of heels all night without my feet killing me! I have uploaded a picture of my husband and I at the ball to the website. THANKS Dr. R for helping me make every DREAM come TRUE! Kory
