trapped inside · October 6, 2007

Hi everybody. This is my first post. I've been researching the lap band for months and months and couldn't find much new and came across this site. Its so great to hear from people going through the same hoops that I am. I am being banded 11/29/07. I can't wait to step out of this fat suit and be me again...and to be able to tie my shoes without being winded again...and to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without..........

Anne, trapped inside:whoo:

Congrats on your decision to be banded! I'm still a newbie, 10/2, but you will find a TON of support and information on this site. Good luck in your journey!

I remember the first time I bent over and my face turned blue, and I couldn't reach what I was trying to get...and it was because there was a tummy in my way! I was like, "no way! You've got to be kidding me; how did this happen?" (Sigh) It was me...only I was 40 pounds smaller then. Now I would do practically ANYTHING to lose 40 pounds (HA...I got a lap band!...so I am going to lose 110 pounds!)

When people ask me why I would take such drastic measures like getting the lap band I tell them, "Well I rely on my personality and my legs...but truthfully I would really like to give my personality a break!"

So I totally understand what you mean about breaking free of the fat, I can't wait to fly. I know my muscles and will are strong enough. Look out world here I come!
