My picture on my Dr's Bulletin Board

Here I am Three Years plus post op and I am still going for my occasional fills.

I came in his office on Thursday and saw my before and after picture posted!  I registerd and then sat down.  There were 4 people sitting in the waiting area - one lady looked at me and then back at the board and then at me and she said, "That's YOU!"  I smiled and replied, "yup! It is!" 

I have to admit I was proud! 

It's been a long journey and I sometimes get discouraged because I have such a long way to go, but I can be proud that I am still working on it - have never gained once, and still determined to get to goal.  I have gone months without losing one pound, this happens, but the scale has continued to move in the right direction, slow but moving!

I love my LapBand!  I love being smaller than I have been in 22 years!  AND I love feeling alive again!

I'd be proud, too. I'd be more than proud. I'd be pinning those photos to every bulletin board in town, and renting a billboard or two.

I admire you so much. You have fabulously well with your band, and I think part of your success can be attributed to your realistic, can-do attitude.

Keep up the great work!

Jean!
You're too sweet!  Thank you!

I am just a regular squirrel, nothing special, but my LapBand has helped me become a little fluffy squirrel!
