Please let me know any tips/your itinerary (I can send you my email if you'd like) if you don't mind.<br /><br />Also, this was a wonderful post. You always have great ones, but I loved, loved, loved what you wrote here. After last year's unfill in February, I am now working my way back up the fill ladder (started--very slowly--in November). This post has given me some hope, encouragement, and inspiration even though the going is slow.

Once again, we are in the same clubs!! Yeah for us!<br />Congrats to you! You have definitely given back a hundred times over and continue to do so! <br />Maintaining our success amid life and all the life stuff (even the good stuff!) is challenging. I applaud your honesty and realism. Sometimes people look at those of us who are keeping off the weight and thinking....wow....they make it look easy or wow...they must have been perfect. The truth is---it ain't easy and we ain't perfect! But, that's what makes it all so much fun.....8-)<br />Have a wonderful trip, a great anniversary, a stellar b-day and a truly joyous celebration of it all!!!! You deserve it!<br />Now, go burn those pants!!!<br />Onward!<br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014735777454955352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-82105413029645485372012-04-23T16:48:55.146-04:002012-04-23T16:48:55.146-04:00Happy Bandiversary! !Happy Bandiversary! !Sarah Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014500072518327165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-1286694676597319152012-04-23T12:00:05.693-04:002012-04-23T12:00:05.693-04:00Wow...your pictures say it all!

Your Obesity-Disability article (on you...Oh Nancy!<br /> Your Obesity-Disability article (on your site) truly hit home with me. Five years ago this week, we went on an amazing 25th Anniversary trip--we went to a gorgeous resort in Florida for a week and then we flew the kids down and met them in Disney for another week of celebration. At the time, I was a few months shy of getting my Lapband (still wondering WTH am I doing??) After THAT trip to Disney, I was 500% positive that I NEEDED my Lapband. Although our trip was absolutely lovely, I know that I missed making lots of good memories because I couldn't/wouldn't do many of the things I know I would do today! Between my aching feet and painful legs and sadness over how my body was working against me and my remorse over not joining my family for lots of the fun things I would have loved to join them in, it was hard to focus on the good parts of the trip. When I came home I knew my Lapband would make it so that I would never have to feel that way again about a special family time!!! <br />For the record---obesity was my disability!<br />You are doing an amazing job!<br />Onward!<br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014735777454955352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156718761379163202.post-16176253741091848952012-04-13T13:31:11.152-04:002012-04-13T13:31:11.152-04:00Have the best time!
