Hi eveybody! I have been approved by my insurance (Tricare) and waiting to see the surgeon for my date. I have read hours worth of blogs and im so excited to be apart of this journey. I know that I will have so much support along the way. One of the exciting things for me is not only will I be healthier but My husband is in Iraq until January and Im hoping I can surprise him when he returns. see if he recognizes me when he comes home :thumbup:

Hi, My husband is home and I have only been banded since June 29 I have already lost 47 plus pounds. He and I just got back from a bike ride. I have not been on a real bike outside riding in at least 15 years. You will amaze yourself as I have been. I have never been happier in my entire life the pounds are melting off!! Congratulations and best wishes to you. It is a surprising journey I must say. ENJOY,

I am so very happy for you. I was banded May 21st and I have lost 45lbs. Exercise is now a part of my monday-friday routine. I feel better, I think I look better and I am happy I made the decision. So come on over girl....let's have some fun.
