Hey everyone! My name's Alison, I'm 21 and I was banded on December 29th, 2011! I started the whole process by going to the info session at the end of august, got my paperwork turned in end of September, had my first round of appts middle of Oct, second round two weeks later, finished my 5 phone calls with HP December 5th, consult with the surgeon on Dec. 14 and the rest is history! (Sorry for the run on sentence, I'm typing this on my phone) I'm 11days past surgery and have lost 21lbs so far! I'm so ready for the rest of this adventure I've started and am looking forward to sharing in it with all of you!
