The teen bandit

I do this really weird hiccup burp thing. That's how I know I'm done! Or I feel full. Either way, the hiccup burp thing is normally my stop sign.

When I first started I was fitting 26-28 I'm 5'8 I'm now 20-22.larger up the top lol. I was 170kg, now I'm 142kg!

My boyfriend was supportive, we were only friends when I got the band done, he would ask questions about it, and wanted to know how it all worked, it was really good, he himself is a bit chubby, he wants to loose weight too but hasn't looked into getting the band, I think next time he brings up weightloss I'm gonna suggest the band. He's older then me so it's gonna be easier for him to get insurance for it, I'm 16, the first doc I went to only did 21 and over because of insurance. I was 15 at the time, I was so happy when I found my dr. My bmi was something like 56, I'm 5'8 and was 170kg. I'm now 142kg my bmi is 48 been banded 6 months so it's a great feeling, when I was ten, sitting in a doctors clinic, having every test done to see why I was obese, the doctor came straight out and said to my mum infront of me, she's gonna die before she's 21. 8 months ago, I was bed ridden, i had chronic back pain, crushed L4 and L5 plates in my lower back and sciatic nerve damage and out of school for two years, that was from being so big. I have now restarted school this year, I have a social life now, I'm starting to get more confident, it's just a great feeling, I can do so much more now. When ur husband see how much your life is improving with a band, he will understand I don't regret a thing, everything leading up to now, has made me who I am today, I have just begun living life to it's fullest everyday. if you think it's right for you, tell him, he's your husband, he should support you if he has seen the trouble you endore.

Oh and I have a small bump where the port is, it's only little so you can't really tell!

Doctors do there port sites differently, my doc who did the operation also does my fills, so he put the port on the left next to my belly button, i can feel it, it's kinda odd pulling feeling, and if I put my finger in my belly button I can feel the actual port, it's so weird, at least I know it's in there! Getting fills are awesome! It's a really odd thing, it doesn't hurt, just a kind of pulling feeling and a few popping noises I've been banded since September last year, it's been great so far!

Thank you, yes mum is very proud, I'm proud too. It's a change of pace, but it's a great feeling

Yes, it's great. I have school I'm getting a job soon, I have a partner, it's all happening. I'm young, but I know what's best for myself, I don't take abuse from anyone anymore. I dont see the point. anyways it's a school night, ive got a test tomorrow -can't say I missed that haha- thank you.
