Today is my one-year bandiversary!

I've done a blogpost on my Lapband Chronicles blog (link in my signature) for those interested in more than the pics.

Thank you all for being my ever-present support group. I give all of you credit for my transformation, as you all keep me motivated, educated and you continue to show me that what I've always wanted---to eat like a normal slim person--is indeed possible.

I think it's awesome how our band date is seared into our being like a birth date or wedding anniversary.... In essence, it is our rebirth date.... You are an inspiration to me! Congrats, and thank YOU!
