...begins the new me. Right now I currently weigh 425 pounds. I have tried and tried to lose the weight but I gain it back plus I pick up what others have lost! :) On my last dieting adventure I went from 400 to 337 but gained it all back plus 25 pounds.
Along with message boards like this I have family and friends that have had this procedure that can help me along. For both I am extremely greatful. It is going to be a challenge and I thank all of you for sharing your experiences!
Maybe I should explain my avatar before people think I am just crazy :)
I am part of a group that dances for the Dallas Mavericks. We're called the Mavs ManiAACs( http://www.nba.com/mavericks/enterta..._ManiAACs.html)
and that is a picture of me with Method Man at the 2005 NBA All Star Weekend that we perfromed at last week(Feb 17-21)

You've got a fun nature and a good attitude... you'll need all that humor once you have your Band! Good luck to you. I look forward to following your stories.

Welcome! Anyone that is involved with the Mavericks is all right in my book. I love the Mavericks! I love Dirk, and I miss Nash! Although, they are doing very well even without him.
Are you being banded here in the Metro Plex? Who is your doctor? Are you still going to be able to be one of the guys in the group when you lose all that weight? I am just full of questions! :D :D
Good Luck with your surgery, and post and let us know how you did when you feel up to it.

I am being banded at the Arlington Medical Center by Dr. Carter. He said I will probably get down to 225 so that is my goal. And at 225 I will still be big enough to be a ManiAAC so that won't be a problem :)

Good Luck with your surgery today. Please post and let us know how it went when you can.
Daisy are you getting nervous? It is only natural to be, but it will be fine.
