bbbanded 70 Posted January 9, 2012 Hi, I'm Tiana I aaam 18 years old, and I'm about 3 weeks away from my lap band surgery date. I am 325, my BMI is 52 ( shocking I know!). My overall goal weight is 150. And I think it's very doable for me. I decided to have the lap band on my 18th birthday. When I decided I needed to do something about my weight was when I was unable to fit on a ride at Hersey Park, then found myself google fat friendly amusement parks. I then realized it wasn't the parks that needed to change, it was myself. I love amusement parks. I start my two week diet on Friday, yippy, I think that's all. K, bai! 2 Caribear and Miekah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congratulations on taking back your life NOW! Reading your post, you literally had me in tears. If I could turn back the clock and start this process at your age, I think we all would. You are not alone in this, and I too was told to get off a ride (as everyone is sitting there starting at me knowing why I was asked to get off). If you need any support at all please email. So excited for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
