Hello!

[Amy C 31]

Hello! I've been following the website for a little while, but think its time to get out there now. My name is Amy and I have always struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I've decided to take my life back into my own hands so I can start doing the activities I like. I am 31, married to a very supportive man that loves me no matter what!

I have already found so much information and hope to make many friends here!!

Welcome to the greatest site, support system, I think, ever. I have had the band since July, 2012 and love it! Wish I was younger than almost 62 when I got it. Having a supportive husband means everything. I have one. Some people tell everyone about the WLS and others tell no one. I told some, mostly very close family and friends. I son't share with any of them how much I have lost. I can't handle the, you weighed how MUCH! That is me, not everyone.

You will learn great and bad things here. Having a great doctor and great staff is important. I go to my monthly support groups and enjoy them. My husband usually goes with me.

If you have any questions, no matter what they are, ask.

Hi Amy and welcome! I'm waiting for a surgery date and really looking forward to getting banded. I know it's going to be hard work sometimes but it's going to be so great to have success. I am going to be 52 and wish this had been an option earlier in my life, but I'm not looking back -- here's to a healthy future for all of us!
