Just realized...today is my one year bandiversary.

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:

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.
