I will be banded Thursday the 13th but thought I would write a peom about the Lap-Band. Please feel free to add to it if you wish.

Ode to the BAND that sits in my gut

Because of it's restriction, my portions have been cut

I can no longer eat like a compulsive nut

My weight loss is no longer stuck in a rut

Ode to the BAND that keeps me in line

I can no longer scarf my food when I dine

I am feeling better and looking so fine

Success is now possible and will be mine

Ode to the BAND that gave me the chance

To fit my rump into size 10 pants

To no longer use words like won't and can't

To run, go hiking, to jog, and to dance

Ode to the BAND that's helping me mend

I love myself now, I no longer have to pretend

Ode to the BAND that is my new best friend

It has given me hope, a true Godsend
