lapbander081004 7 Posted August 5, 2006 For those who know me you are fimiliar with my story. For anyone else a brief re cap. My oldest son got married in Oct of 2003 and I relaized after seeing the photos and videos I was in trouble. I knew I'd never live to see my grandchildern and I finially went after a solution. After researching I settled on the lapband and had my surgery in 2004. Would I do it again is a question I am often asked and I answer before the question is done "YES in a heart beat" and why do I answer that. Well look at this: Its what made it all worth it. My first granchild who was born July 27,2005 just turned one: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beachgirl 2 Posted August 5, 2006 How precious, That is the cutest picture and I agree, I would do it over in a minute as well. I think the band had changed so many of our lives. Congrats on the beautiful grandbaby, I have one granddaughter and she'll be one on Sept. 19, 2006 and she's our life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
libra 13 Posted August 5, 2006 What a cutie!!! When I decided to go for the lapband surgery, I decided it was for my son. He deserves to have a healthy, energetic mommy, and I want to be that for him. My little guy is 2 1/2. He got into Mommy's makeup in this pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marimaru 7 Posted August 5, 2006 Congratulations on your grandbaby, and your decision you made to ensure you'd be there for her. I think I may not have been able to have children if I hadn't done anything about my own weight. Hopefully it wont be a problem when my fiance and I start trying. On a side note, I think every child should have their own cake on their first birthday to do with whatever they please, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewSho 20 Posted August 7, 2006 Greg, Seriously- You have GOT to submit (with the parents' permission) your grand daughters cake picture and the one where she's wearing the scarf to PARADE Magazine. They do post cute baby pics and they used to pay pretty a decent amount if they used the photo. Those are winners. All the pictures on this thread are adorable - but that cake picture takes The Cake!
