Does the band work? YOU ANSWER!

I think that you look great. I think that those of us who are struggling need to remember where we've been, where we are now, and while we aren't where we want to be we are alot closer than we were.

I actually splurged on my lime green shirt from Nordstrom, and I LOVE it! I wasn't really looking for compliments though (well, yes I was, hahaha.)

My point to this post was due to all the recent freaking out over erosion with newbies deciding NOT to get the band after all the hell they read here. Even though I'm currently "considering" band removal, I still think the band worked for me. I have not decided to have the band removed, but I'm starting to work on other weight loss options.

So thanks for letting me toot my own horn and thanking my band for doing it's job.

I DO NOT have a port. I never really had a port, actually. My first port was infected before my original wounds healed, then my 2nd port only lasted one week before getting infected and removed.

If I had a port, hmmmm... one could only imagine.

Thanks for all the compliments. I never post ugly pics of myself, but trust me that they do exist! I'm more than happy to help people with makeovers. I LOVE doing makeovers. I could make any one of you just as pretty with a little makeup and hair. Just let me at you!

Hey Lisa, Will you do a makeover for me at the next Bash? I NEED ONE!!!!!!

DeLarla · December 12, 2005

Terri, we need to start planning the bash more carefully so we can get it all in! I would LOVE to do makeovers at the bash! So you gotta show up really early next time.

Is it summer yet?

A-Hem.... scuze me for saying so, but is Santa bringing your hunky hubby a new shirt & tie for Xmas?

It's interesting how YOU look very different--younger in fact, while he hasn't even changed his CLOTHES!!

(evil grin)

I noticed he likes the black shirt and grey tie too, then again he looks mighty HOT!!!, no matter what he wears. You're both a wonderful looking couple. Thanks for sharing.

The weight you've lost without a port, omg, look out when ya get one.

OMG, if Chris knew someone caught him wearing the same thing he'd burn that suit! Truth is, he planned on going casual this year till the very last second. But when he saw me all dolled up he jumped in his suit and wondered if anyone would notice. I told him people don't pay attention to what men wear!

I told him people don't pay attention to what men wear!

Well, usually not except when you put the dates on two pictures together!

Truth is if it didn't look so damn sexy and COOOOL I probably wouldn't have noticed. I bet he'd look cool in a deep purple shirt.

This was the first year we didn't dress to match. We normally plan our outfits but we flew back in from Texas in the afternoon and had to be to the party by 5:00 with a nice flat-tire-breakdown inbetween. Before we left for vaca I tried desperately to find a lime green or purple tie or shirt. Amazing - there are about 9 billion ties and shirts at the mall but not one electric green or purple one. Odd.

Seems I remember a few other pictures of him wearing black, hmmmm, is he a Johnny Cash fan?

DeLarla · December 13, 2005

OMG, YES! Well, no to the "Johnny Cash" comment but all he wears is black and gray. He's got 100 black shirts, boring. It took me years to get him in a silver tie. He's afraid of change and color. Sad thing is he's got beautiful green/blue eyes so anything with those colors really snaps. Where's the number for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?

DeLarla · December 13, 2005

Ya know what's funny? The guy next to Chris in the one pic is his friend, Craig, who is also wearing the same boring shirt as last year. At least Chris got a new boring tie!
