Tren

Hey all, I am in the initial stages of deciding to move forward with LapBand surgury. I am almost 44 years old (guy) and weight about 310lbs. I guess my decision is, am I fooling myself about losing the weight on my own? I did do Jenny Craig, which worked great. I got down to 255 in about 7 months, but as soon as I stopped, went right back to were I was. I think what got me was that I lost almost 60lbs and still was not even half way to my goal. Very discouraging...:thumbup:.Anyway, just wanted to say Hi to everyone and really enjoy this site. There seems to be sooo much great info. Take care and wish me luck.

Hey Bearbandit, You did really well. It is pretty good motivation for us newbee's. Actually, my sister had it done and she did very well. I scheduled my first meeting for next week and asked her to join me!

Hi wstorms Thanks for you encouraging words. It seems comforting in a way, when you talk to people who understand what it is like. I will do my best!
