Where are the happy bandsters?

(the other minute is when I step on the scale and either jump for joy or swear...my husband finds the whole morning ritual hilarious now )

I just had to laugh at this. I'm not a bandster yet, but I do have a funny story about the scale. Years ago I used to have a digital scale that was not 100% accurate. I would weigh myself 3-4 times in the morning and then take an average of the numbers.

Well one morning I didn't have my glasses on and I couldn't see the scale. So I would step on the scale, wait until it beeped, get off, bend over to see the result, step back on, and repeat.

My husband watched this strange ritual and asked me, "Why are you bowing to the scale?"

:clap2: Although an innocent question, what a great summation of what we do!

Having surgury with Dr Kuri on Thurs and I REALLY needed to see this posting for I too was beginning to wonder where the happy Bandsters were. Thank you so much group. I know that I am moving on no mater how anxious I am today.

I am a really happy bandster too!! I couldnt have lost this weight without my band, but I also think that the original post, whether implied or not may have been like a slap in the face to the bandsters/exbandsters that post here with troubles. A support board is for good and bad...it is never good all the time with anything. I waited a long time to post this, and hope I havent offended anyone, I just think the original posting could have been worded better so as not to make members with problems feel unwelcome or like we are sick of hearing about problems...because good or bad I know I am here for the long haul whether its good or bad.
