Hello, Im Michelle from Florida. I have been married for 3 years to a wonderful man and we have known eachother for 16 years. We do not have any children yet. We we going to try until I decided to get banded. I have struggled with my weight since I was in middle school. I did loose 50lbs before we got married , but have gained it all back now. I lost 3 family members in the last 2 years and mom and both have cancer, so to say the least this was a wake up call for me to get my health in order. Though I did not have many co-morbidities, I knew it was only a matter of time for them to creep up. I am excited to have this tool to helo me. I am aloso excited to find this website/forum.
