This is a gi-normous NSV. I haven't used my inhaler in five whole days! As many of you know, I have terrible acute and chronic asthma. Five days before my band installation, I had to be taken to the ER via ambulance. My asthma was one of the main reasons I got the band, that whole prospect of death by resperatory failure just didn't apeal to me. (..."I want a death by misadventure, wanna be in a bus that crashes into a train, just like Ozzy Ozborn! I wanna death by misadventure. Got no deathwish, suicde is bogus, this practical dude has some years to go!" (http://www.bobrivers.com/audiovault/tunes/tunes.asp?Var=D It is 7th one down "Boys! turn that "Guns and Butter" down! )

My book bag doesn't seem as heavy as it was before I was banded. (and I do almost all my walking with that bookbag)

It doesn't hurt to stand at the sink when I do the dishes anymore. I believe it is because I can get closer to the sink because my tummy is smaller. I've lost an inch from my waist!

Speaking of inches lost, I've lost a total of 23 from my entire body.

CORRECTION! I didn't loose 43 inches, I lost 23 inches. I fat-finged, type-oh, wishful thinking, PEBKAC, I/O error... and the list goes on.
