Thanks Ali for the welcome. I am super excited to see what Thursday brings. I am expecting her to tell me to loose and can't wait to start on the journey to being thin! I have never been thin and have bounced up and down before but never got below 170 which was alright...but want to pass that soon! I have a two almost three year old and want to be able to keep up with her and to be able to enjoy her to the fullest without always feeling so self concious. My family has diabetes running very strongly and I have been really lucky to not have gotten it but I can't imagine if I stay at this weight it won't be far out. So...Thursday is going to be a big day for me. Getting me back in the game and starting to prepare for my big day. I am going for the lap band, seems to be the most beneficial to me. I want to have the option to have it removed if need be later in life. Thanks for the support, I am addicted to this site already

Hey all... I just joined today and have really enjoyed reading all the wonderful information. I was wondering, when you all talk about losing weight was it after you met the surgeon? I have had my orienatation in Vacaville and had to wait until now almost a year later in order to set this next step up. Had some family issues and was not able to take any time off. So I am super excited because Thursday, June 10 I get to meet Dr. Park in Vacaville. I have gained a couple pounds since the orientation last year so hoping she tells me my goal weight then and I go from there. Thank you all for you support and being there!
