newbie here

[CMI1010 0]

I am a newbie from Ohio. I have three young children 2 boys Justin (6) and Jordan (2) and my baby girl Abi is one. Though I am only 22 I have been fighting with my weight my entire life and after having 3 children I woke up and realized that I wanted to actually be able to go out and play with them and show them the world. I am still in the planning and learning phases of my lap-band experience. I have gone to a few informative meetings and think I have found that doctor that I would like to see. I have an appointment with him in 2 weeks. I look forward to the information and support I know this site will provide.

Welcome to LBT! You've come to a great place. If you have any specific questions your best bet is to do a search (it's at the top of your screen) and read, read, read. If you don't find what you're looking for just yell. You'll have a response in no time. You've just joined a wonderful family with very caring people and good luck on your weight loss journey.

I have a Jordan, too. Except my Jordyn is yn and she's a 13 year old girs. I have an 11 year old boy, KJ, too.

Nice to meet you,

Yes, welcome! I wish I had found this site before banding. However, I am very glad I found it after banding. It's invaluable!!! I have lost enough to be able to teach my boys (8 & 9) how to play tennis. They got tired before I did!!! You will love your life after banding! Susan

Welcome Christy and Fat Crusader. I'm 6 days post-op and anxiously await my first weigh-on on 4/14 to see how well I am progressing. I'm also looking forward to post-op week #3 when I advance from a full Fluid diet to a soft one. The good news is I really don't have an appetite. I wish you all the best in your weight loss endeavors.
