hi lexus lady

I was banded April 5th 09 and I am 54 years old. I am in good health luckily, so no co-morbitities. I weighed 238 at the outset and have now dropped 34lbs. Almost getting into the one hundred, just another 4lbs to go.

I have not regretted it for a minute, it has given me back a sense of control in/over my life.

I think it probably took me slightly longer to recover after the op than it would have done 20 years ago, but so what. I am going to be healthier and stronger than I have been for many years and I am going to live a better and probably longer life.

I hope this helps

ps my hubby held me tonight in his arms and said "wow you are really shrinking" made me feel great

good luck for Friday, I am sure you will be fine with the needle thing too. Welcome to a new life

jeez are you sure you are not from Newcastle upon tyne lol

today I have a new friend and soulmate. She is not always aware of what is right or good for her. I am going to be her guide and alta ego fom now on.

When she tries to make the wrong decision I will be there to steer her away from her error. I will love and protect her as a mother loves and protects her errant child.

Through good and bad times I will be steadfast in the pursuit of what is in her best interests, when she throws tantrums and demands the wrong things I will kindy let her know that this is not acceptable. I will shroud her in warmth and affection and give her the attention she needs not the bad things she craves.

Only the best will be good enough for her, nothing less will do. She will be as a godess to be served, but in the most correct of ways to be gently persuaded along the path of righteousness and of success.

I will never feel disappointment or a sense of failure in her endevours, just a supreme urge to help her find her way in life to a new and successful maturity and sense of self.

My new friend deserves this, this is her time, I will be there for her, I will be the new me.

My band will be the tool that helps me achieve all of this
