Man how time flies! I was talking with my mother in law tonight about my surgery because she is interested in getting it and had a few questions. I was telling her how much weight I have lost and how long it took and it occured, exactly one year ago today I had surgery and changed my life!

Here is what I have gained in my life:

A positive outlook

confidence and self assurance

a gym membership

smaller clothes

happiness

being social again

the experience of doing a half marathon

a husband that chases me around the house:wink2:

a healthy, happy body!

Here is what I have lost:

70 lbs.

depression

health problems

trouble breathing doing simple tasks

size 24 pants and 2x tops

being embarrassed to go out or run into people I know

I would do it all over again in a hearbeat. I heading nowhere fast as far as weight loss went and this band was really a blessing. I know that I still have weight to lose (30 lbs or so) but I have come very far and I'm so proud of that. Oh, I can also paint my toenails again:smile2:

Happy Bandiversary and congratulations on your success. Have a nice day!

Congratulations on your successes during this past year. It sounds like you have embraced banding and your new lifestyle and good health with great commitment. I love your comment about being able to paint your toenails again! The little things mean so very much.

Terrific job! Good luck on the next 30, you can do it!!!

Great success story!

Congrats on your Bandiversary....Keep it up and take it all the way!! :biggrin:
