take care of yourself! We had a lap band put in so we could be in better health. PBING is what got us here, and I don't like to feel sick anymore. I will be banded 1 year tomarrow, I can't believe it I still have 30lbs to go but I keep on telling myself.... this will work if I work it!.... this is just a tool we have to do the work...every day every time we open our mouth to eat. Please keep on telling yourself..."I will take care of my body"
