16 with alot to lose!

Hey everyone!

I'm 16yrs old & hopfully going to be banded..things haven't been easy on me in the past few years especially with my mom passing away but now I may have a chance for a new begining & I maybe getting approved for the Lap Band,I know its going to be very difficult for me but I hope & pray that I'll have a new life style & a new way of thinking if every thing turns out the way I hope it does..I have about 180 pounds to lose but I'm hoping within 2-3yrs I can reach my goal of 150-170 pounds I'm pretty tall 5'4 so even if I still look a bit chubby I'd just be glad to make it under the 250 mark! I'm so happy I came across this site & enjoy reading other peoples posts & hope that you guys welcome me!

WELCOME, im really happy for you! I had the band at 16yrs and that was 6yrs nearly 7 years ago, never looked back.
I wish you all the luck in the world and im happy to see you have realistic expectations!
