What an experience!!

I left Wed. the 27th and had surgery that same day. I had my surgery w/ Dr. del la Garza. I was freaking out! Laying on that that table under the bright lights, I'm thinking "what the hell am I doing" I wanted to get up an run, talked myself out of it, and here I am burping and passing gas like crazy.

I'm very lucky, I had an unevetful recovery. No problems at all. It's been 5days and I feel great! Hours after sugury, I felt so good I swear he didn't put anything in me!

They have their own floor and it has like hotel rooms. In the bathroom there's a BIG mirror. I don't really have any mirrors in my house,BOY, did I get a reality check!!!!!!! I didn't reconize that person! Those rolls of fat and that big old dimpled a$$. Seeing myself naked smashes any doughts I had about getting banded!!

Well, I'm going out and buying some big mirrors to put up around the house.

I never want to get that lost again.

congrats and welcome back.

I have a wall length mirror that runs the wall in from of my showere and when I get out I am confronted with THAT-yipes!I actually close my eyes cause it makes me mad and sad what I let myself get to-Mirrors suck-lol-but hopefully not after a few months.Luckily my hubby says all he sees when he looks at me is the best person he could possibly know.he thinks Im purty:o)

Whata sweetie!!

Welcome to Bandlandia Tina!

Congratulations on your banding Tina!

Just remember to take it easy for a while. Glad to hear everything went well and you're on the losing side now

Tricia

welcome to the wonderful world of the banded! I am glad you had a great recovery! (although it ain't over till the fat lady sings!) Keep up the good attitude and all should be peachy!

Oh my gosh Tina! You made it! It just seems you have been banded all this time. You and I have both been posting for these months before banding it's hard to see us as "baby bandsters"! congratulations!!!! So glad all went well. I need to hang my full-length mirror. It's such a goof kick in the butt!

Alatina, your hubby sounds sweet..."he thinks I'm purdy" AWWW I love that. My hubby came home from the bank the other day and said, "you are so much prettier than those other ladies in there your age. They sit out in the sun and their skin is all wrinkle-y. I said to myself, 'I got the prettiest wife!'" Wasn't that sweet?! He thinks I'm purdy sweet hubbies!

Welcome to bandland! It's great that you did so well!

Tina..Congratulations. I'm so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience in Mexico and a recovering so greatly! That is awesome. Some bounce back right away and some don't , I was like you, felt great except for the gas. I was shopping in TJ on El Revolucion the day after my surgery. We all are so different. Well take it easy this week even though you feel great you still did have surgery. Best of luck to you with your new band

Thanks all....

I'm going out to pick up a scale today. Nope didn't have one of those either. Complete and utter denial!

With mirrors and scales challenging me daily. I'll have no choice but to face the "The Fat Monster"!!

And I shall give him the fight of his life!!!
