Hi to Amanda, Kelsey & Michelle. Welcome!! I'm Liz, 26 from NYC. Not banded yet but hope to be by April. Right now working on my testing and waiting for an issue with my physch eval to be resolved then they'll submit to insurance. Michelle I always was a little overweight growing up but it never bothered me till my late teens early 20's and that's when I packed on most of the weight. I was always athletic growing up and then once I graduated and started working is when the issues began. I researched the hell out of the lapband and made the first step in Sept. Hope to keep in touch with you all!!!

I was a swimmer my whole life, but I was still chunky I got into lifting after high school so I have packed on muscle but i cant see it with all this fat hehe!

I actually played football last year for an womens football team in PA, but I am not playing this year due to my surgery and my new work schedule. Talk about fun! I get to knock the heck out of people heheh

Hi Ladies! I'm Sarah- I'm 23 and I'm from Massachusetts. I am also waiting to get banded... it'll probably happen in June or July (I'm getting married in May and don't need the extra stress!). I'm very excited to get it and to start losing weight. I've already lost 5 pounds and I hope to lose 5-10 more before the surgery.

I've pretty much been heavy since my parents divorced when I was 7- I was a compulsive overeater for quite some time after that- so I don't think I've ever actually lost weight- until now!

I want to wish you all the best of luck on your journies! I'm hoping to make some band buddies on here that I can talk to about our progress :thumbup:

Woohoo!!! Welcome Sarah.

Hey everyone! I'm Jeanette from TX. I'm hopefully getting banded in March, but no set date yet. I've been overweight since I was 13 and I'm sick of it...tried all the diets, etc, and nothing's worked.

I almost got banded in April 09, but chickened out because I was scared, but now that I've found y'all and read lots of blogs, I'm ready for it! I'm excited, I WANT THIS!!
