Future Bander

[Hope4Jen 0]

Hello, my name is Jen. I am 32 and a mother of 4. I have been struggling with my weight as long as I can remember and I finally made the decision to do something so I can live a long healthy life. I have nothing but support from my husband and family.

I should have a date next week. My insurance is awaiting the letter of consent from my PCP so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

Jen

Good luck on your journey, Jen, and welcome. There's lots of great info here, and with this awesome and sometimes crazy group, no question is ignored, no subject is taboo... as you can see for yourself as you browse the topics...

I'm only 7 weeks out from being banded, and I've lost 21 pounds. I've had weeks of gain at return to solids, weeks of no loss, weeks of gain and loss, and now I'm back to losing again... I haven't seen 247 in years, and soon I won't ever see it again!

Congratulations on making the decision to join us here, and in banding. I know I only regret not doing it sooner.
