I'm 33 and made the step to better my health. I did this because I want to have children and be healthy, I put on a lot of weight as an adult,and hated what I saw and how I felt. Now the real journey begins, I truly hope I'm strong enough to do it!
I too am feeling discouraged. I was banded on dec 23,08 and had hoped to have lost more than 9 lbs post surgery....Its a slow prosess, but I have a lifetime..
