In the midst of counting calories and Protein grams and wondering what that weird pain in your port area is, I think it's important to take at least a moment each day to Celebrate who we are. We're all on a journey of self-discovery, of honoring ourselves with the blessed gift of wellness. This self-awareness takes guts (pun intended!). Each day we choose to love who we are. Some days are easier than others. But we're all mere mortals, giving it our best. I'd like to make a toast (nothing carbonated!) to each of you, for sharing your experiences on this website, for being you. I've learned so much through each of you, thank you so much. Here's to a New Year full of life, light and love.

Tristin,

I am celebrating my decision to be banded. Scary at first wondering if it would work, would I have problems, could I finally succeed. With the new year a few days away, I now have something to celebrate. I am proving everyday that the band was the way to go for me. I have been happier than I have been in years. To everybody have Happy Healthy New Year with continued success with all your endeavors.
