Hi everyone I wanted to introduce myself..and say hello to all of you, I have been lurking on this website for a few days now and I'm ready to jump in and meet new people.. I just got my band on april 3rd. I had my surgery in T.J with Dr. Verboonen..(I know the name sounds scary) but he ended up being a really good Dr. I have lost 17 lbs so far and I am so excited, I can't wait to hit my 1st mini goal... this is to lose 30 lbs by June hopefully I can do it. I have 3 children my daughter will be 11 in August and my son turns 10 next month, they are only 9 month's apart and the same age for 3 month's out of the year :eek: lol YES it is possible. I had a baby in June of 2004 and that's when the weight came on. I gained 70 lbs since then and I need to lose them ASAP so I self payed and got my band :clap2: well my husband payed I luv him so much! I have been Married for 12 years.. I was emancipated at age 15 and got married when I was 16. TMI? well I just wanted to say Hi to everyone on this site, you all seem so sweet and full of info that is helpful so you'll be seing more of me..
