I know a lot of people's number one reason for getting WLS is for health. I fully admit that mine isn't. So, I'm curious -

What is your non-health related reason for wanting to get banded?

---

Mine is my husband. My Husband is 6'5, gorgeous, blonde hair, blue eyes, fit, well built, military man. I want to look good in fashionable clothes, I want to be curvy and feel feminine, and feel him be able to pick me up. I want to feel comfortable chasing after little ones so that he isn't doing all the work because I'm too winded or I'm not flexible enough in jeans.

I should clarify that my husband is amazing and loves and supports me no matter what my weight has been, but I can't help to feel as though I wish I were his trophy wife. Also, I don't think I'm ugly by any means, I think I'm pretty and I don't hate my body, I like it, it's looking better every day, but I want to love what I see.

I'm very interested in hearing what others have to say!

I'd like to be able to go to the hair salon and not worry about how the awful lighting and oversized mirror make me look while trying to avoid my reflection

I'd like to be able to get up in the morning and not have to strategically try on numerous outfits until i find one that " doesn't make me look too big"

I want to be in pictures again

Omg trying on numerous outfits in the morning is going to be so nice not to have to do anymore

Everything everyone has said is exactly how I feel, I thought I was the only one who felt that way... But my #1 non health reason is... To just be normal.
