You know it's funny when you sit down throughout your journey and you compare to the used to's and the now you do's.... Today is my 3 month bandiversary and while drinking my coffee and getting ready for my over night in Atlantic City with my hunnie i was thinking of all the times i read or heard how being over weight can affect your job. I used to say no that's not me i don't lose money over it.. i don't call out ... man.. what DENIAL! I did!! Between the reflux, not wanting to get out of bed, headaches, or just all around feeling crappy... Where was i all these years.. not anymore even my boss said to me that she could tell a difference .....once again i had to ask myself why didn't i do this sooner! I love my new banded life and this journey i am on! Have a wonderful day everyone!

I know exactly what you mean. Happy 3 month bandiversary. (You and I got banded the same day!) it's only looking forward to better health for us.

Great post

Good for u! I feel the same way... I am16 wks post op today and couldn't be happier

I'm getting banded on the 12th of August, and I can't wait!! It took me a year to come to a decision to go to an orientation and two months to the day I'm having the surgery. Once I got real and noticed just how much my weight was affecting my daily life, I feel like I'm doing the right thing. My husband is so excited and says that he is excited for me to be healthier. The first 50 years of my life was wonderful and I'm excited to start the 2nd half of my life off the right way.
