    kca1fan got a reaction from briefs199 in reach through vs reach around.   
    Here is a little nsv I had recently. Hope its not to personal. I was in a scooter vs car accident on March 10th so I am recovering from a pelvis fracture. A couple days ago I was given the go ahead to be able to go to bathroom alone. If you have never been there you have no idea how exciting that is.I am sitting on the toilet and finished my business when I realized I have always been a reach through wiper, arms to short or butt too big. Due to limitations on how I can move there was no way I could. I set and pondered this for a bit. I didn't want to call for help. I finally decided I was going to try reaching around and what do you know my arms must have gained at least 4in in the last couple years. Now the funny part of this is I have been able to do this for awhile because I have been on a plateau for well over 6 months, holding steady at 200-210. I had just never tried. Lol. One of the first things I thought of after the crash, while still laying on the pavement, and keep thinking of is how much harder this whole thing would be 150 pounds ago. Not only on me and my recovery but on the awesome people taking care of me.

    I am recovering nicely. Everyday is a little better. I am toe touch weight bearing on the left leg for six more weeks. I will be on a walker for the next 4-6 months. I can't wait for incision to heal so I can start going to the Y. I believe Water exercise will be the best and safest way to rehab. I am also recommiting to my low carb eating. I believe that and exercise were the most important part of the success I have already had. Been hovering between 200-210 for 6-8 months now. Time to move on down.

    I had two great nsvs today. First I went and bought my season pass for Elitch Gardens in Denver. I no longer have to worry if I can fit on the roller coaster. Second was feeling so good I decided to check out the gay bars on Capital Hill trying to find some old friends as the one I use to frequent back in the day is now a 7-11. Well didn't find anyone I knew but I am sure this cute young lesbian was checking me out. That is a first for me.

    kca1fan got a reaction from ADJL in 1 year bandiversary   
    Hello fellow Bandsters. This is my one year update one day late. I was banded January 21st, 2013. I was 326 pounds. I went to the surgeon today and my official weight is 235. 91 pounds in a year makes me very happy. Not only was it my Bandiverary but I had a job interview and nailed it. I will be starting work Jan 27th or Feb 3rd just waiting for the call. I have been on disability since Jan 2012 and am more then ready to get back in the work force. I am 47 years old and feel I am in better shape then I have been since my late 20's. My journey has been complication free. I wish all banded would have it as easy as I have. That is not to say I haven't had to do the work because I have. I think about everything I eat and I exercise. The biggest change in my diet is I as a rule don't eat bread, potatoes, Pasta or rice. Not to say never but very far and few. As long as I follow the rules I have no problems. I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY BAND. Me Going back to work exactly one year later is proof that 1/21/2013 was the first day of my new life. They told me I was permanently disabled. HA!!!
