| [quote=Kat817;679616]Wendy--you may have said at the beginning, but how old is your son? in here!!
Kat,
My oldest is 21, he will be 22 in March and my youngest is 8, he will be 9 in April.
I don't know about the hormone thing. You know I have had a partial hysterectomy. I wonder how that works for me.

City: Aztec State: New Mexico | I have had a total hysterectomy---so no issue for me, I just wondered. For years they went on about girls and their hormones, and they affect boys too!!! I remember those days!!!
My son is now 28, and daughters are 26 & 25.
Kat

City: Greenville State: Mississippi | Hi, here is another in her forties. Ha! I've been banded a little over a year and doing great. I've got a 4cc band, and I have 2.5cc's in it. Having the band was the best money I ever spent!

| Hi! I'm 41 and happy to join with my age group! I live on the East Coast, have three kids (13, 12 and 8) and a yorkie-poo that runs us ragged. Great dog.. we're just not disciplined enough to accomplish the whole potty-training thing. If any fellow dog lovers out there have tips, I'm all ears!
I was banded 12/7/07 and my first fill is next week (hallelujah!) Right now I'm at the point where I'm questioning if the doctor even put a band in me - I am able to eat way too much and feel completely normal. can't wait for some restriction...it's so hard to be patient. You wait and wait for the surgery and then after a few weeks you realize that you might be waiting for another few months until you really have the whole eating thing under control. I'm really not as much of a whiner as I look like in this post:heh:
Restriction will bring back the happy me!:)
Welcome everyone!

City: Farmington State: New Mexico | I live in Farmington. Have most of my life. I am attending a seminar in Albuquerque this weekend because Lovelace only approves a surgeon in El Paso or one in Lubbock | |

City: Laguna Niguel State: California | HI! I'll be 45 this year. I have a son 17 and a daughter 12. Been married 19 years. I live in So Cal and bake, create, decorate fabulous wedding cakes. Believe it or not, that's not my weekness. I and my whole family are sick of cake. I was hoping to be banded soon but my insurance requires a 6 mo. diet. I have 5 more mo. to go. I love this website and tell everyone I meet (who are getting banded) about it.
Can't wait!

City: Aztec State: New Mexico | I am in Aztec!! I have met one other woman on here from Bloomfield---she was not interested in a support group! I know of 4 other locals who are all banded.
I am headed to Albq. first thing in the morning---my Dad is having carotid artery surgery at Presbyterian Friday morning. Where is your seminar?
PM me, and I will give you my cell #.

| Hi all! I haven 't seen this thread until today. My name is Lisa. I am 41. I am married and have three daughters 14,12, and 9 Actually youngest will be 10 in Feb. I'm finally losing all my baby weight.:whoo: I am so glad I decided to have Lap Band surgery. It has truly changed my life. (Even though I've only been banded since Nov. 5th) I beat myself up for not following the plan, but I have not had a fill yet, so I know that is needed. But I am very happy with my results so far. I bought a pair of pants last week that didn't start with a 2! Haven't done that for at least 6 yrs!

State: Chaos | Hi,
My name is Amy and I am very excited to be getting banded in less than two weeks. I just turned 40 a month ago and I have two kids 11 & 9. My hubby is super supportive of my decision to be banded. I am glad to have found this site. :)

| Hi all you fourty-somethings,
I'm 46 year old Connie from Washington State, I'm coming to fun part of WLS. I'm scheduled for a TT and Breast work on February 14, 2008. The best Valentines ever!! My end goal weight now is 160; when I had WLS I thought my goal weight was 150, but I think that's a little light for me, I'm 5'9 and larger bone structure.
Have any of you changed the end goal weight?
Create a great day!!
Connie
