Wow, I can't believe a year has past and all that has came with it? To look back at how I felt and how I looked is amazing of the turn around I have accomplished. I am 50 pounds lighter and feel absolutely amazing, sexy, sure of myself and I know for a fact it is only going to get better from here!

I was able to put on a size 12, cross my legs, sit on the floor without dying with leg cramps, being able to run and play with my children and not feel like I am about to pass out after 2 minutes. I get compliments all the time and I am told I look like I am in my 20's.. <SHHH, I will be 35 in Aug!>

This lapband is my lifesaver! If I wouldnt have gotten it I am sure I would develop diabetes, and not have this happiness that I do for being lighter on my feet. Anyone looking at this and contemplating on getting it, dont hesitate. This was the best decision of my life. It is only going to go up from here. I have met some wonderful people on here also. I have to give a shout out to all my girls on the NC thread! You rock and you are the best support system I could ever ask for! I love you! And others that I have met on here from other states you are awesome as well. If I ever have a question, or I need someone to talk to you are here.

In this year I have lost my grandmother, my gallbladder, and my DH, thru seperation. It has been tough and I havent lost since December but I think I am starting to get some strength and I am wanting to continue this lapband journey I started a year ago. God bless you all! And HAPPY BanDiversaY TO ME!!!!!
