Hi guys!!!

I decided to post on this forum! Just wanted to shout out to you guys!!! I'll stick around this board as I transition from my band to my sleeve!

Welcome Alyssa! Glad to have you here. I have read some of your posts and I know you have had issues with your band. I'm so sorry the band hasn't been a total success for you. I love my band, but I know there is no one size fits all when it comes to weight loss surgery. I hope the sleeve is the answer for you.

Alyssa, It's good to see you here......Bridget is here as well and doing great with the sleeve. I hope it works out well for you, too! I'm sure everyone here will agree that you'll always be welcome here. We've all come a long way together. Hope you're feeling better these days and that you're ready for your new start!! - Ann

Bridget hangs out here as often as she can. I'm hoping that you can join us from time to time. You'll always be our friend - band or not!

Didn't I tell ya? They still love us...even tho' we're 'different'...lol!

Hi Alyssa! You'll always be a Bandster to us. Welcome! I hope everything goes well with your transition. Bridget is doing beautifully...

I'm glad you guys will still "accept me" even though I am not a bandster! I figured, if you could take in Bridget with open arms, then you could still love me too!

Technically, for the moment, you ARE a bandster. A non-functioning one, though. But I know you'll always be welcome here. Lori

That sounded like a definite diss, young lady!

Not a diss there Miss Bridget! I figured if you have no band at all, then they can still accept me without question since I still have my band! No disses! Love you too much for that!
