...the inexpensive "door mount" mirrors at the local discount hardware or home improvement store are big enough to show your entire body from side to side!

...you scope out restaurants with a great appetizer menu because you KNOW that's all you'll be able to eat!:wink2:

You're strip searched at the airport because you no longer look like your passport photo.

I fly allot and am always getting the second look when they look at my photo and the way I look in my passport and how I look live.

Next March my license expires so I may break down and go in and get another photo and get the correct weight on my license.:sad:

LOL, getting a new license is great fun.

You know you are a bandster when . . . you go into renew your license and discover you weigh considerably less than the "pretend" number you told them last time, lol. This actually happened to me last year. :D

You know you are going down another pant size because your pants make you look like you have a baggy butt.

Okay, who's been peeking in MY closet! LOL

Oh so true!

You order your child size portion with a side of to-go-box.

ROFLOL!

Here's another: You know you're a bandster when you no longer have to look at the "fully covered" costumes for Halloween because you've lost enough weight and inches that you fit into the "Sexy..." whatever costumes!

...when you start to stalk plastic surgeon's websites for good before-and-after pictures of tummy surgery so you can visualize what YOURS will look like!

...when even your SHOES are getting too loose!

...when you don't mind being a little shorter because you've lost the fat pads on the bottom of your feet!

Let's keep 'em coming! :)

hahaha yes! I second the "sexy costume!"

Just had my first Halloween as a sexy bar maid and never felt more beautiful! Thank you lap band!

Also, you know you're a bandster when you have to budget in new clothing for you're 2010 finances! :)

You know your a bandster when you are really getting rid of the clothes you have outgrown rather than secertly hiding them so you will have something to wear when you regain that weight.

Love this one Ellen!

Adding my own this morning:

You know you are a bandster when the local tailor / alterations shop knows you by name because you keep coming in to have clothes re-measured before you get them altered - the weight loss just keeps coming! :thumbup: :thumbup: :eek:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
