Tough Year
Jun 10, 2014
It has been a tough year for me. It is hard being on your own after 22 years of marriage. I have had some bumps in the road but I am getting stronger each day. Thank God for all the friends and family I have to lean on. You are all so awesome. The band has made it easier for me to get around and be healthier.
2014 Another year!

Well another year is almost half over. I have had my band 12 years. I am still happy with my decision. I can't believe all the negativity. It is sad. Weightloss surgery is not a quick fix. It is a tool.

Well, it is so odd how the band works. My band has been tight this year. I have had to have unfills 3 times this last year. How fickle is this band. I am still happy with the band but it is also unpredictable.
This is me!

I might not be someone’s first choice but I am a great choice. I may not be rich but I am valuable. I don’t pretend to be someone I am not, because I am good at being me. I might not be so proud of some things I’ve done in the past, but I’m proud of who I am today.
I may not be perfect but I don’t need to be. Take me as I am or watch me as I walk away.

I went to see my internist. I have been able to cut down on my insulin. I am thrilled. I am exercising more and have lost a few pounds.
I did it!

Well I finally did it. I got a tattoo. It is on my left shoulder. It is the lap band logo with my surgery date. It is pretty sore but it wasn't as bad as I thought. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time.
11 years!

I think I am the oldest bandster still around. I miss my old friends. I still love my band. I would do it again. The negativity on some of the boards gets so old. I hope my progress will inspire others to do well.
10 years!!
