New here - Banded on Sept 13

[Marebeth1 2]

Hi Everyone,

I just got banded last week on Sept 13th. Had two surgeries in one - repair of a hernia. Had a tough time last week. First got approved 4 years ago, lost weight, yo-yo'd up and down. On the day of surgery I weighed 49 lbs lighter than 4 years ago but sill have a lot to lose. I just trying to figure out the navigation of LapBandTalk.com. I'm strongly committed to the plan and not cheating....I know that is where the successful weight loss will be.

I live in the Sacramento, CA area and am a photographer and do web design. Love my husband and family - proud grandma of a beautiful 3 yr old girl. Broke my back 3 yrs ago and hope losing the weight will help the back issues and avoid a spinal fusion. I love this website - hope to get to meet a lot of people here!

HUGS!!!
