Hi Ashley!!!
I'm so excited for you. Like you my insurance didn't pay for my surgery but I knew that I needed the surgery bad enough so that I could live a longer and healthier life. I'm from Tx and am 27. My name is Chrissie. Having the lap band surgery on March 12, 2007 was the best choice I have ever made. So far I've lost 34 pounds. Like you, I had been battling my weight since I was about 10 years old. If you ever need support or just have a few questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of us. Everyone on this board is trully inspirational! Get ready to be a hottie!:clap2:
