Hi friends. I went for a bone density scan on Saturday morning. Like alot of small white women, I have bone loss and the start of osteoperosis. So I take supplements and get a bone scan every year to keep an eye on everything. This year they wanted the spine along with the forearm so I got my spine scanned and the tech said they may not be able to read it all because of the band being in the way. I looked at the monitor and there it was....clear as a bell just floating there in my midsection.

This is the first time I've really seen it. When I get the fluoroscopy, I don't see the band very well..it just looks like a Rorschach test to me. But this bone scan showed it clear as day. I must admit I'm still ashamed that I had to go to these lengths to get my eating under control but still...I looked at that band and thought this was what made the reclaiming of my life possible.

that is neat that you were able to see it... when I had my bone scan they didn't show it to me. I have yearly bone scans too part of being older I suppose. You should not be ashamed you had to have help losing weight, you are not alone by any means. I felt that too at first but the more obese people I see around my age or even younger I am thankful I made that hard choice to get help. I am happy where I am and am excited to be able to do pretty much what I want at this stage of my life thanks to my band.

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