Wow, that's amazing! I am going to have my band done at TLBC next Thursday. Your pics are making me feel hot to trot.

Thanx, Irish. Here is something that may sound kinda strange. I don't actually know my weight. I stopped weighing myself when I was 24 or 25, and when other people (like doctors) weigh me I tell them that I don't want to know. I figure that I am fat because I shop in the fat grrl's stores. The regular sizes don't fit me.

That cure always used to work for me back in the days when I still had cramps.

Oh, and I am getting banded next Thursday.

Hi Yoda, I read your stuff and was really amused. You had the X-ray fill, right? That sounded like the best way of having it done. I am getting banded by The Toronto Lap Band Centre down on Prince Arthur. Although I am looking forward to this - I am getting fatter and fatter since I hit post-menopausal land - most people I know are very negative about this choice. It seems that no one is happy to see me take this step except for my husband who loves me the way I am but is always supportive of me. As for me, I am fed up with the lard. There have been nights when I have been up at three o'clock in the morning, and I've thought to myself that if there were emergency liposuction clinics, I would phone a cab and be there.

I've been hanging about the site for about a week now because I am about to be banded, and I want to learn as much as I can from people who are walking the walk and talking the talk. The site is supportive, interesting, and lots of fun. I've learned a lot about this business of being banded, the fills, and what to expect post-op. This is why I decided to join. I am less frightened about the operation now, but more freaked out about the fills; the procedure sounds a little gross.
