As shared on my other site, RF06, I’m now a card totin’ member of the BBGC (Bariatric Bad Girls’ Club).

OK…  so we don’t have cards  -  yet.

But, bracelets are coming…  They were ordered by the creator, Melting Mama (Beth).

I created my own logo and ordered my t-shirt.  I guess this means that some day in the future, when I say “Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt”, it won’t be a lie!  tee hee !  Or, should I say, “TEE SHIRT!”

I love presents!  I love presents!  My friend, Scott aka Bald Is Beautiful, has been playing around with Photo Shop and his other toys (cameras, etc).  And, he gave me a blog award.  While I’m not the most tech-savvy person, I did manage to stick it over on the left widget with my other 2 blog awards…  Its pretty small over there though.  I wanted you to be able to see it up close so you don’t miss any of the lighting effects!

Scott is a fellow wls person.  And, he took up photography pretty seriously just this past year although he has always really dabbled in it.  I love to see the world through his eyes and lens because his version of the world is always more colorful, less drab, and full of life.  I get used to seeing it “the same old way” and sometimes need a rekindled passion for the ordinary.  Check out his blog for some great & inspiring photos…  and recipes…  and stories of how his life has changed after wls too!

Save Me a Seat…

Have you ever heard someone about to have surgery say to other wls patients:  “Save me a seat on the loser’s bench?”  Or, after the surgery has taken place, a support group member might greet them with “Welcome to the Loser’s Bench!”  A few years ago, my friend Scott decided to take it a step further.  He actually created a graphic of a bench, and personalized it for people who were about to have surgery.  (GREAT idea!)

I met him after I had my surgery.  I felt kind of left out, so one day he presented me with my very own “LOSER’S BENCH”.  I forgot all about it until he posted some pictures on the forum of me in the past few years.  I wanted to post it and show the bench to you!  See, there REALLY IS  a loser’s bench… !  You’re welcome to sit on mine anytime.
