Hi everyone....I am 32 and live in Northern Ohio. I have also been overweight most of my life. I just started looking into the lap band surgery. So new to alot of this. Any good advice would be great. I want to feel good about myself and feel this is one way to do that. I have let my self esteem get so bad that I am embarrassed to even go out with friends, because I feel everyone looks at us "bigger" people as bad. Tired of that. I give everyone on here credit for the great success they have gotten from their surgeries. Keep up the good work...:)

I was so ashamed to even go out in public, I avoided get-togethers with friends ... I really had let myself go. Here I am now 5+ months into this journey, and while I'm only halfway to my goal, I can tell you I feel SO MUCH better about myself and I don't hide from the world anymore. Getting banded was by far the best decision I've ever made ... Good luck to you!

| Hello. I'm 34 for another week anyway. I live in southern Indiana. I'm divorced with two kids, 12 and 4. I started this journey last April. I've been approved by my insurance company and have gone through EVERYTHING needed to have the surgery. For some reason, I can't lose the 5% I need to in order to get my surgery date. I exercise...eat right (most of the time). I've been on Optifast since last Saturday hoping to speed up the weight loss; however, when weighed at the Dr.'s office on Wednesday the loss was only 2lbs. My scale that morning said a loss of 7lbs. I even weighed before I went to the Dr's office and the scales are 1.5lbs in difference (Dr's weighing more). Anyway, the whole thing has gotten me so FRUSTRATED!!! If anyone can give me any pointers, please feel free.... | |

| HI Y'all
I am 38 and just got banded on monday. I have to tell you that I feel INCREDIBLE! I am not hungry at all ( that's a first, for me) and I feel good. I have some mild discomfort at port site which by now is totally tolerable without pain meds. Tomorrow I am going to get up, take a shower, get dressed, put my face on and face the world! I am tired of recovering at this point and feel strong enough to go back to work, although i wont go back until next tuesday, just to be safe. You will feel this good too! already I know it is the best decision for me, I questioned myself too, but I cant tell enough how great I feel. good luck to you and cant wait to be bandsters together! I am in SoCal, just minutes from Disneyland!!

Hey there...I'm 34, married for almost 10 years, two sons--ages 7 and 4. I was banded April 30, 2007 and have lost 77 pounds as of this morning. I'm kind of in a rut right now, but I'll get myself moving again. My goal is to reach a 100 pound loss by my bandiversary. Nice to meet you all and I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Hello!
I'm 34, but will be 35 in a few weeks. In fact I have my surgery on the 29th, and Feb 2nd is my birthday! I'm in Carrollton, TX (Dallas suburb) and I start my two week liquid diet on Tuesday!
I hope I make it. I wonder how grumpy I'm going to be...
:)
