Had my first visit with the gastric banding team. I met Barb, the nurse, Phil the physician and Mike the dietician. Also met an old buddy working on the desk, but that’s really irrelevent.

This was how things looked when I started this blog on 27th February 2008:

Words cannot adequately express how much I hate this photo. Count those chins, check out that friendly expression, wobble that sac of fat. It’s all so very, very ugly. This was taken on my birthday: November 2007. It was my 5oth and if you needed a reason to have people put down at the age of 50, this would be it.

    Actually, you remind me of me.
    Is that a magic wand in your hand? I am a big fan of magic wands.

    Magic wands rock, don’t they! I think what I’m holding is some decorations from birthday present wrappings. I’ve twisted them up and using them like a wand. I like sparkly stuff. By the end of Christmas or my birthday I’m usually wearing some piece of ribbon or other wrapping in my hair.
