Benefits- NOT SIDE EFFECTS
BENEFITS- NOT SIDE EFFECTS
Tuesday June 6, 2006
Today is 6 months plus one day for BUBBA and his LapBand.
We talked and he is OVER 100 POUNDS DOWN.
He and I have talked when a few of his LapBand milestones occurred. I was honored to share them with him. The two big ones I remember were:
-TWO SOMETHING. The First Time he was able to say he weighed TWO SOMETHING. Sure it was 299, but IT WAS A TWO!
-ONE HUNDRED- A CENTURY- When riding a Bicycle, riding a century is a milestone. BUBBA lost 100 pounds by Mother's Day in honor of his mom who passed away. A Truly emotional and Great phone call.
Then we discussed the SIDE EFFECTS of the LapBand.
-No more need for a CPAP Machine
-No more Blood Pressure Medicine
-No more Cholesterol medicine.
BUBBA is now MEDICINE FREE for the FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS. Today he can just get up, brush his teeth ( I would say comb his hair, but he is a Q Ball - haha) and go do whatever he wants. No bottles, No pills, No nothing. JUST LIVE BABY LIVE.
I said "What a great SIDE EFFECT".
Then I realized- This is not THE SIDE EFFECT- THIS IS THE BENEFIT
I am smiling today for BUBBA, and for me, as this is now a greater goal for me than TWO HUNDRED or CENTURY.
Congratulations BUBBA.
