Hi yall! I'm Daniele and I was banded on December 20, 2013. I haven't been overweight most of my life, but when i started college I began to slowly gain weight. Over the course of five years I went from weighing 130 to 246 pounds. I had been considering weight loss surgery for over a year, but finally made the decision to do it in April of 2013. I just happened to be in the right place in my life emotionally, and decided it was the perfect time. So on December 20th at 8 AM I was rolled back into the operating room, and my life was changed. I decided to join this website for support and as a way to keep myself motivated. My best friend was banded a few years ago, so it is nice to have someone in it with me, but she and i are at completely different spots in our weight loss. I'm excited to see how I manage going to school, teaching pre-k and losing weight. It will definitely be a challenge, but thats the whole point, right??
