When I got the band I had been planning on getting a diamond band as my "reward". I got within 7lbs of my goal. I never got to goal and just started gaining almost to my band pre-op weigh.

I revised to a sleeve on Thrus 02/09/12. I think I'm going to go ahead and get that diamond band as a reward for going through with the surgery. I think I deserve it! I was really scared. Afterall, I know I'll get to my goal with the sleeve and it'll serve as a reminder to follow the sleeve rules and that my sleeve won't fail me like the band did.

I agree, go get yourself a diamond band. You will definitely get to goal this time! Congratulations on your sleeve!

CONGRATS! The sleeve will always remind us to stop eating. It just can't control our emotional eating. ;(

Hello! How are you& I think this is an excellent result. You deserve a gift! I want to buy some diamonds and make jewelry according to my design.

Hello! As my boyfriend says, a girl's best friend is diamonds. By the way, I'm planning to go to New York soon to visit him. He hinted that he wanted to give me a gift for our anniversary. I love diamonds very much, but I can’t tell the difference between real and fake. I found some great stones here, sell loose diamondst. Perhaps this advice will be useful to you. By the way, a great idea is to give jewelry of your own design. Now I think my boyfriend will have a hard time finding me a gift. ?

Hi Olivia! Thanks for your advice! I see you new here? I'm too ☺️! Welcome, how are you feeling?
