Introduction of KimberleyP

[KimberleyP 21]

Hello!

I am new to this forum and to the Lap-Band. I also am not real familiar with or adept at social networking. That said, I do recognize that I could use the extra information and support that this platform can provide.

I have been overweight my entire life and many years ago reached a place of "size acceptance". For me that meant loving who I am, regardless of my physical appearance. I have not let my weight hold me back from getting what I want in life and being the best "me" that I can be. Once I reached that point I at least stopped gaining and riding the roller-coaster of diets. So here I am - having made the tough decision to have a lap-band. I still honor who I am, but want to get away from the medications and other health issues that my weight brings with it. My husband and I are doing it together so that we can both make the life-style changes and support one another.

I live in Montana so there is not ready access to face to face support groups. In fact we are 3 hours away from our surgeon. I welcome the addition of this group on my journey to a new me. Already I have found a lot of helpful information.

Thanks for being here! May I be able to contribute to the positive journey of others as we travel this road together.
