THE BEST BANDIVERSARY EVER
One year ago yesterday (on April 20, 2009), I got my band. Exactly one year later to the day (April 20, 2010), I got my life back! Pictures are to your left, gory ones are further down, so be careful. Surgery only took 1.5 hours. I got there at 8:30am and was on my way home at 4:30 pm. My doctor prescribed all the good stuff, so I am not in any pain and I actually feel good. My surgeon removed THIRTEEN (13!) POUNDS of fat and skin. The top picture of me in the pink is my current side view, which includes padding, dressing, and I'm assuming some swelling. I look so skinny! First thing I did when I woke up from surgery was to run my hand down my FLAT bandages. I have gone from FAT to FLAT. Happy Bandiversary to ME!!! Thanks for all your support, I could REALLY feel all the good ju ju, and am convinced that helped everything to go perfectly. More later. XOXO

Wow, congratulations!!!! I'm so happy for you! You weren't kidding about the gorey--oooo, I hope you feel great and recovery quickly!
ReplyDeleteOMG... the pictures of the remains puts my claim of "my husband touched my diseased gallbladder" to shame. Congrats on getting your life back and best wishes for speedy healing.
ReplyDeleteICK! Glad I already had breakfast! CONGRATS! You already look fabulous! I am following closely because I know I'll need a TT, but I am terrified, so I am living vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap!! But totally awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing this! I'm glad you're feeling no pain :)
ReplyDeleteI am just amazed that you got to lose 13 pounds in 1.5 hours. So happy to see your skinny pics. The skin photos are icky but really show what they did. When I had a breast reduction (lost 4 pounds) I remember running my hands over my new boobs (dressings still on) and feeling so amazed.
