memorial weekend

I was just messing around with my memorial weekend pictures and remembered that I took pictures last year at the lake around the same time.. so I thought I would do a facial comparison.. Here are 3 shots of my face.. the first one was 6 months before surgery.. wow...

To My "Band Buddies"!

I am so excited for several people in my life....


Jordan... had his lap band done January 28th... he has lost 80lbs!!! CONGRATS! Thanks to Jordan I started looking into lap band 3 years ago.. We are now "Band Buddies"!!! :)~ "Jordan, take smaller bites!!!!!" He can not stand it when I tell him that!!! hehe!


Janine... My best friend from high school.. We ran into each other about a month ago, I am so excite because she gets to meet Dr. Malley tomorrow!!!!! I am wishing her luck and can't wait to hear from her when she gets approved.. I have such high hope!! So far I have sent 4 people to Dr. Malley and not one of them have been denied!!!!!

JANINE, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! GOOD LUCK!! YOU GO GIRL! Can't wait until you are my band buddy!!


Kara~ Kara found me on here... When I started looking into lap band I read all kinds of blogs.. They helped me so much, so when I got my band done, I made sure that I would blog it so that people could read my story too.. I will admit, I am not a blogger by no means! Kara found my blog and we talked back and forth through email.. One day I was sitting in Dr. Malley's waiting room and the girl next to me said, " are you Katie?" I said yes.. She said " I am Kara, I have been emailing you"... Out of all of Dr. Malley's patients.. I happen to find Kara!!! it was great!

We have kept in contact and she Got Banded Last Thursday!!! AWESOME!! I am thinking of ya girl!!!


I get so excited.. I know I might be crazy, but I know how awesome it feels to be banded..


Just wanted my friends to know that I am thinking of them and GOOD LUCK!!!


Love ya!

Katie...
