Thinking of getting a Band? READ THIS

Let's have a moment of silence in honor of Miss Michelle. I realize we've all congratulated her again, but I think this picture needs a little more attention.

I'm sorry for the fuzzy quality, but these were Michelle's pants last year. If you are thinking of getting the band, or if you are a worried Newbie, just keep looking at this picture.

Yes, it's a huge and frightening decision, and it's a big gamble. People DO have some major complications, port infections, erosion, etc. But look at Michelle. Just look at her!

Michelle and I have been through bumpy times together, but I think this girl deserves a standing ovation. Not only has she lost 100 pounds with her band, but she's always here for us. MICHELLE, I'M STANDING UP TYPING. BIG, HUGE, ENORMOUS, CRY BABY ROUND OF APPLAUSE AND THANKS TO YOU FOR ALL YOU ARE, AND ALL YOU DO.

Much Love, Lis

I just can't get over that picture. I wish I kept my largest pants.

I loved those books. I actually read #2 and #3 and haven't read #1 yet! Yes, those need to be the traveling pants...who gets 'em after Vines shrinks out of them? And I'm so glad you reminded me. I'm keeping one pair of pants as a reminder. Great idea.

You are so beautiful Michelle!!! Happy Bandiversary!
