    I was banded on November 17, 2010 - 31 years old

    My birthday was November 19th, so I'm 32 now. Hopefully my 33rd birthday will be amazing and 85 lbs less than I am now!!!

    We are super cool!!! Band life hasn't been so bad so far. My appetite has kicked up again and according to my doctors this is a good thing. I'll have my first fill on Dec 8. I'm so excited for you!! I look like I've been shanked (stabbed violently) about the stomach but mederma is gonna make me all pretty again.

    LOL! I can picture that. I had my gallbladder out last year and had 4 stabby looking wounds. I'm sure I'll be adding a few more.

    Well good luck, we'll have to check on each other from time to time!!

    Yeah my gall bladder had to go about 3 years ago so this is just adding to the jigsaw puzzle on my belly. I'm sure it will look a lot better once the belly is less round, you know nothing distracts from a flat tummy!! I hope that we do keep up with each other. This is an adventure that I don't think should be traveled alone. I'm Mikki so be in touch and I will do the same!!

    I was banded when I was 19! Finally decided I didn't want to waste my youth away I guess.
