Edan Ren?

So I thought it would be fun to start a topic on the things we will NOT miss after our surgeries!
I think we should write one or two, or three things we hate about being "big" "fluffy" etc...
I'll start...
i won't miss people call me "big guy"
i wont miss children staring at me and saying "Daddy he's fat"
i wont miss shopping at Casual Male XL and spending $65 on a shirt!!!!
How about you...what will you not miss!

Home after my surgery I'm sore and tired but doing good

Home after my surgery I'm sore and tired but doing good

I have lost 197 lbs in 20 months
! 20 to go to hit goal but I am considering going 10 past that.... We will see

One year ago today I was banded and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I have lost 85 pounds and still have 80 to go. I have learned so much and have a new lifestyle now. I am social, happier and healthier. I work out 4 to 5 times a week I watch my calories with myfitnesspal.com It took me 2 years to finally make up my mind about getting the band I wish I would have done it earlier.
This week I had an appointment with lap band office and even have good restriction and weight loss I want my band tighter. I was telling my PA I feel like an addict asking for drugs obviously they did not give me a fill. My lap band office is conservative when it comes to fills. I had a fluoroscopy to check out my band at the appointment as well. The tech preforming the fluoroscope is 4 years out with her band but she made me very worried about having a slip. She said she sees slips and dilations a lot. She has even had dilations. I am a bit worried about this I need to make sure I am using my tool correctly to prevent this or is it something that will happen to everyone with the band? Anyone else feel this way? I am happy with the band and will be grateful for as long as I have the tool to use.

I am also a plication or imbrication patient. Best decision i could have ever made. I had my surgery April 24, 2012 and I am now down 63 pounds. I have not had a fill yet, but I feel that my first one might be fast approaching. I did not pay anymore than what I would have with just the lap band. I have been very successful up to this point.
I am also in the U.S.

Christy Lynn, I thank you for the comments this has been good to read these things as I have my procedure in one week! Awesome....
and yes it will be nice to see things south of my belly button again...like my toes!
I also will not miss getting rid of my "XL" office chair!

Way to go Mis 73. I am thinking about just burning my fat clothes, but maybe I'll hold onto one so I can do this too!

Wow!! That must feel amazing. I can't wait. I get banded tomorrow. :-)

Yo I am getting banded on the 16th!

I won't miss being tired all the time.
I won't miss aching knees and feet and back.
I won't miss hating how I look in mirror or photos.
I won't miss the thought of dying way too young.
I won't miss being sick and tired of being sick and tired, ALL THE TIME

This is such a great thing to look at and remind us of all the positives, thank you for posting!
I won't miss my fat rolls laying on each other.
I won't miss getting winded going up the stairs.
I won't miss my arms jiggling for 5 minutes after I stop moving.
I was banded one week ago, and this topic was exactly the little happiness boost I needed!

I wont miss alot! Not having nothing to wear. Wearing actually jeans and not just sweats all the time. No having to lift my roll up and over the lap bar on rides at an amusement park. People referring to me as the chubby little girl. Being able to find scrubs to fit and not having to get the pick overs because i have to shop in the "big" girls. Being able to see my feet, or even down there for that fact.
I cant wait to look in the mirror and actually like the new me!!

These are all great!
I certifiably won't miss thinking "can that chair handle my weight!" or worse...that chair clearly could not handle my weight!
No more broken chairs.....

Here is another one....having to use the handicap stall in the bathroom because i'm to wide to fit in a "normal" one!

I live in Utah anyone willing to mentor me and be my "someone to lean on".
