Complications - 1 year out

[elcee 3,342]

I got banded on 2 June last year and thought I was doing fine. Then I realised that I actually do have all sorts of complications. Some of them I had an idea about before getting the band - some are totally unexpected.

• I think I am developing a shopping addiction! I go to the shops see something really pretty try it on and guess what - it fits and looks great so I buy it! I don't need it, have no idea where I am going to wear it but buy it anyway!
  
• This obviously has an adverse affect on my credit card and my finances.
  
• Eventually it could impact on my relationship. I just have to make sure that I spend less on my clothes than my DH spends on model trains, golf etc!
  
• I have hordes of clothes that I have had to give away because they didn't fit me any more. Some of them never worn, some really expensive and only worn once.This is not good for the environment!
  
• I hate exercise, always have but I have discovered dancing. It started off as a Bollywood class once a week and has now extended to a Belly Dancing class as well! This has all sorts of hidden costs - costumes, workout gear, DVDs etc etc. A gym membership would be much cheaper! I'm scared of what I might do next - I even looked up pole dancing classes but the cost put me off.
  
• I keep getting called skinny! Who me - surely they must be talking to someone else. I have always been called little as I'm short but skinny!
  
• I need to buy new glasses. Why? Because when I look in the mirror I see my stomach which to me still looks fat. It can't be as my Dr has told me I am not to lose any more weight.
  
• What am I going to do with all the spare time that I have now that I don't need to research diets, buy and read diet books etc?
  
• I am addicted to LapBand Talk. I have tried (unsuccessfully) to give it up a number of times.
  

I think there may be some other complications but I can't remember what they are right now. LOL. memory loss cannot be blamed on the band.

So I just want to say to those who haven't been banded yet be very careful! there are all sorts of potential complications that you may never have thought of!

Ooh, I need me some of those glasses! I see somethign that looks more like a large cauliflower than an ass when I look in the mirror. Sigh.

These complications do pass, lol. My credit card needed CPR and being married to an anal retentive accountant sure helps. But I still have too many clothes to fit into TWO wardrobes!
