Today is the 5th anniversary of my Lap-Band surgery. Despite all the medical misfortune that's happened to me since, I don't regret my band surgery at all. If I had it all to do over, knowing what I know now, I would do it again. Not only did my band make it possible for me to lose 90 lbs, it helped prove to me that I can succeed at weight and health management. Here's a before & after comparison.

if i do, that should off the million plus that i owe you and been saving pennies for........shrink work you know

Hey, someone's got to take care of me when I'm old.

Congratulations Jean...you have had an inspirational journey with your band, weight loss, and success despite challenging medical complications.

You inspire people, give them hope to see the possibilities of what they can accomplish, and share insights one can only acquire through "walking the walk".

Thank you!

Happy anniversary Jean! You will always be our fairy bandster! We luv u!
