Newbie here!

Hi everyone! My name is Robin and I live outside Nashville, TN. I was banded on 05/31/06 and had my first fill today. So far so good!

A little about me, I'm almost 41 yrs old. I have a daughter that is the light of my life. She truly is the apply that didn't fall far from the tree though she doesn't like hearing that because she's a teenager, lol! She's also very proud that I had the surgery and even joined Curves with me to workout so I didn't have to go alone.

I love pro football and am an avid fan of the Tennessee Titans. I'm also very into music with The Cure being my very favorite!

I debated for years on the gastric bypass but just never felt it was right for me. I work with lots of people that have had the lap band and started doing research on it. As I learned more and more about it, I knew this was the surgery for me.

I'm sure there's a ton more I could share with you but thought I'd give a brief overview of me, haha! Thank you for this forum. There's so much to read and learn.

Sincerely,

Robin

Hello Robin, WELCOME, I was banded 4/25/06 and Im 25 yrs :-) So far I have lost 16kgs (including the preop diet) and since my surgery I have lost 9kgs. I dont have any fills yet, they just want everything to heal perfectly and since Im still losing I dont really want the fill.

Im not excercising much, cause lately the weather here has been terrible over 30 degrees Celsius,and I would faint if I excercised:-)

Good luck to you!!

Eva
