I had a band placed around my tummy a year ago today.
It was an easy decision, and might I say the BEST decision I have ever made for myself.
I get along with my band, we have a relationship I wouldn't have fathomed even nine months ago.
I LOVE MY BAND. It sticks out and I can feel it. It protrudes and I can see it very clearly when I lay on my back, and I can see it the mirror too!
Insurance made my life hell. (Yep, that would be Cigna you lousy &^@%$@#)
Thank you UnitedHealthCare for believing in this surgery and the critical role weight factors into a healthy MIND and BODY.
There is nothing like the lift of 'weight off' my shoulders when social events come up and I am not freaking out because I have to put together an outfit so that I can feel like I 'fit in' with my peers and will be judges less because of that chosen outfit.
I simply go into my closet and pick something, because it's all so CUTE and HOT !!!!
I wish all Bandsters and BandsterWannaBe's -- all the best, all the happiness, and all the success they desire!!!!
