Successful Two Year Bandversary and Nip and Tuck

It is my two year Bandversary. I was banded June 29, 2009 and I was running around Disney World in Florida with my daughter less than two weeks after being banded. I have as much if not more energy today as I did back then. Being banded was so exciting.

 

This past Monday was my full body "Nip and Tuck". Yup, I went for it!! It was considered a medical necessity and my insurance paid for three fourths of it and I paid the rest because it was deemed cosmetic. I probably would have paid for it all because I wanted it that bad. It is better to have the insurance pay for it. I can buy new clothes with the money I saved.

 

I will need new bras for sure. I have gone from a DD to a B/C I am looking pretty perky!

 

My waist is no longer a double muffin top if you know what I mean. It will take a few weeks for all the swelling to go down. I am sore but the pain medicine is working just fine. I was so scared to have this done and now that it is I am trying to figure out why I was worried sick about it. I can get up and walk around and I can do stairs and sit up for a spell. I am tired and need to rest but that goes hand in hand with any surgery. I have to lay low for at least 2 weeks. I can do that.

 

All is well and if you have any questions I'd be glad to help you out for imaluckydog just playing with my BAND. Best wishes

Great to hear from you...I am on the fence about getting some PS when I get to goal. i Have 7 pounds to normal BMI and I think things are moving along because I just got a tiny fill. The main thing is I have lousy insurance so I just dont know if I want to spend the cash...plus I am scared of the pain! (I self payed for my band) anyway PLEASE keep us posted on your recovery and results...inquiring minds need to know!!! Diane
