:)Hi everyone,my name is Trish,I am from pennsylvania I have been doing alot of research about the lap band and i have come to realize that this is my destiny! I have been overweight since about age 10,(broke my leg and stayed with my italian grandparents,need i say more)I have 2 kids, Taylor age 17,and Austin age 10,the lights of my life,I have been divorced and remarried and now with always doing for everyone else its my time to do for me and i have never wanted anything more than to be thin and healthy.Over the past year or 2 i have developed a thyroid condition and it just doesnt help matters a bit with weight loss,seems synthroid makes me gain and its not fun,If anyone wants to get to know me ,email and say hi,I would love to meet people in the same baot as me,Thanks trish
