so I was banded in October of 2008 and have maintained for almost 2 years..... damn thing actually works!
Now I am going in for a abdomioplasty (tummy tuck) in October. Yep, thats right, I am going under the knife. Its not cheap, its not covered under insurance, but its time..... my "below the belt" fat is pretty severe and its time to take care of it.
I am really looking forward to getting it done, now I just have to REALLY quit smoking. Now THAT is gonna suck!
