Yep,,,heard that one too,,lolol. Being told that exact thing for a lifetime, now that I've lost 65 pounds and my neck is getting flabby and my face thinner and showing those deflated wrinkles,,when I'm feeling insecure,,it makes me wonder,,,well heck! At least I used to have a pretty face!! Positive thinking,,,positive thinking,,,haha banded 1/29/07 Dr Ken Cleveland at CMMC-Jackson, MS 331/265/150

Sorryyyyyyyyyyyy I didn't mean to come across as mean! It was like a dream coming true for me as well. Everything I ever tried,,I failed. My fear of failure is my biggest character defect and I struggle with it daily. I guess I was trying to spare you the stress of agonizing over things, but I have to remember that we each have our own journey. Just be kind to yourself,,,you have lots of support here. You are not alone. banded 1/29/07 Dr Kken Cleveland Jackson, MS - CMMC

Dear GAWDDDDDDD lol You just got banded 2 days ago! Your body has to recover from surgery. The band has no Fluid in it yet. RELAX! If you start obsessing over things you're gonna drive yourself crazy. Relax,,,recoup,,,do exactly as your physician instructs you and you'll be fine. I was banded 1/29/07 and felt miserable for a few days,,bloated,,painful,,not wanting to drink anthing. I kept my manual my surgeon gave me handy,,reading all the materials,,keeping my fluids in a Tupeprware measured container. I concentrated on getting well first. My motto is : If I do what I'm supposed to be doing, I'll get the results I'm wanting. It's not easy,,but 65 pounds later,,it's easier today than it was at first. Keep your eye on the prize!! Good luck!! banded 1/29/07 Dr Ken Cleveland Jackson, MS CMMC 331/266/150

I've heard it said that when people lash out with rude, unkind, hurtful comments they're actually turning their self hatred outward. Since you said she was fat,,sounds like a fair assumption to me,,lolol. Force yourself to feel pity for a woman who doesn't recognize her own misery. :-) (I must be in a mellow mood today,,hahahaha) banded 1/29/07 Dr Ken Cleveland Jackson MS CMMC 331/266/150
