About Me

    Female
I'm sure I am among many when I say I have gained and lost weight many times over.  I finally went to a seminar at my local hospital back in June.  I have several co-workers that have used the same doctors, so I had some knowledge already.  The hardest part was getting over the feeling that I was a weight loss flunkie.  That if I went through with surgery, It would be like cheating.
     I think I spent the better part of a year talking with some of the other people I knew who had been banded.  Picking their brain on their reasons.  How they feel now.  Regrets?  I finally came to the realization that I needed to do what I felt was the best solution for me.  And here I am.
I had surgery on Aug 29, 2011. So I'm a newbie
