Happy Bandiversary to me!!!

[aubrie 6]

today is one year exactly since I had my band. I've lost 70 pounds and am so thankful that I was able to have it done. It's done miraculous things in my life. My quality of life is greater than I ever dreamed. I'm kayaking, exercising, and dancing again. My meds have been reduced or eliminated. My DH and I have an active and wonderful sex life again. :wub:I no longer groan when I look in the mirror. I'm in normal size clothes. I have more energy.:rolleyes2: In this respect, life is good. to those of you thinking about having it done..... I have no regrets. Today is cause for CELEBRATION!!!!:tongue2:

Happy Bandiversary!!!!

You are doing awesome. It is hard to believe a year passes so quickly when the first few weeks post banding are soooo slooowwww.

Well I am late to the party here but...

Congratulations. We go into this with high hopes and expectations... But like me I kept it in the back of my mind that it may not happen like I hoped... Well it does for the most part and you have done a fabulous job.

The best NSV's are the ones you listed about medication and how much your life has improved. I am sure you will make many more discoveries in the next year to come.

Once again congrats and it's stories like yours that give all new bandsters hope

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is hard for me to think in a year I could be 70 lbs lighter and have the prospect of keeping it off.
