Steph

Woohoo you go girl!!! WOW 124 Pounds, i will do the happy dance for you, congrats on your awesome success and may you have many more years of success with your band!!!

I'm really happy for how well you've done, Steph. Seriously, it's what I had HOPED for when I chose the band. I wish you continued success.

 Now THAT is a gracious, adult post. Even those you detested your band, you can still be big enough to congratulate someone on their success with it. Thank you for that!

Oh, I'm big enough! 

Seriously, I hate that people think I'm only here to bash the band. But, due to my experience with it... I just can't feel anything but sadness when I think of it. It would be a lot like having been married to Mike Tyson, I imagine! A lot of pain involved! 

I really and truly do wish the best for everyone, though.

N.M. --- I have never thought that you were here to bash the band.

I am so sorry for all of the problems that you had with your band -- and so grateful that it is out of your body.

I am grateful for your honest sharing of your experience -- no one benefits from only hearing one side of any story.

I WANTED to hear the good and the bad of the band and the other surgeries before I made my own informed decision.

Once made, I do appreciate that my decision is respected. 

Please continue to tell your story -- to make people think hard about what they are entering in to.
