Time To Stop The Chick Sh*t!!!!!

[Maddysgram 6,159]

Hi! My name is Julie. I am hoping that I am posting in the right spot for introductions. I am new to the group and I have begun my lapband journey just about 2 months ago. I have been to the informational seminar and consult appointment. I have my nutrionist and first psychological appointments on December 4th. I am 46 years old, 5'2' and weigh 200 pounds. Many health issues have crept up on me as my weight has crept up over the past 7 or so years. I take medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleeping issues and PMDD. I am the mom to 3 kids, ages 22, 19 and 7 (I adopted a little girl from Guatemala). I have been a special education teacher for about 20 years. And, I guess that's about it! I am glad to be here and looking forward to this new journey...I have a lot of living to do!!

Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum! You will find a lot of inspiration, knowledge and support hear. You might want to start a thread that's strictly for yourself and you will find a lot more people to welcome you. It's ok that you did it here but you'll get more responses on a separate thread. Just title it New Here or something like that.

I wish you the best on your new journey, post often so we can get to know you!

Look Mads, I didn't see the bat signal for banjo to come take care of business.

Or else, you know, I would have been there just like for CG

I understand, it's a cloudy night.

Hi Julie, welcome! I will be banded December 17th so I'm fairly new here. I've only posted one question but I started getting replys almost immediately! I am SO grateful for that support. It's fantastic someone is out there going through the same thing and willing to share.

Completely forgot about this thread.

Someone went off on CG, and I had to put on tights and a cape and put tge person in their place.

It made for many interesting comments. : )

That's what I gathered. It was an interesting read to say the least! LOL
