THE GOOD: I have my 1st seminar tomorrow. 9/11, is that ironic or what?

THE BAD: My insuance changes on Nov. 15, sure hope the new one will approve the band!

THE UGLY: No ugly yet, but then I've only told my DH, and a friend who is having Gastric Banding in Dec. (she is real supportive) I joked we will be the only ones to go to lunch together! Iam sad to see sooo many silly people who have dropped Banders as freinds or family. Guess they were'nt really friends! I have an Identical (always the thinner one) twin. I will not be telling her. She hates that I've stayed happily married for 29 yrs. She'd really lambast me for WLS! I will only be sharing with positive people...

The Good: Being able to travel on an airplane comfortably and, thus, getting to see my family and friends a lot more often.

The Bad: As rewarding as it is, this is a REALLY long road....

The Ugly: I'm still heavy enough to where some @ssholes on the street say mean things to me if I'm walking alone.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
