Twenties Chat

[georgia girl 35]

Thought it might be good to have a common thread where everyone could introduce themselves and chat.

I am 27 years old and I was banded 9-20-07 by Dr. Bagnato in Albany, Ga. I've had a pretty good experience so far, with no complications. I'm losing weight and keeping it off for the first time in years. I can't wait to meet everyone and hear your stories!

I am 25 and am not yet banded. My surgery date is January 23 with Dr.Woodhead in Delta, BC. I am very excited to start my journey and am currently on my preop diet phase.

Hey Ang1982!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! It will be here before you know it. Good luck to you and it's nice talking to you.

I'm 27 (1 more month to 28!), banded November 15th, 2007. I'm married to Richard...4th anni coming up in February. No kids together, yet. He does have kids from a previous marriage that live out-of-state with their mother and they come visit.

One of my major motivations to get skinny is so we can have babies together. 5 years together and the only thing to show for it was a miscarriage this past September. So, YES, I'd love to look hot and sexy, but what I really dream of is being a healthy weight with a big ol' preggo belly.

Other than that, I just want to be healthy so that I can enjoy a true active Colorado lifestyle hiking, biking, kayaking, snowboarding, running, etc!

And I can't say that actually LOOKING like I'm in my 20's isn't on my list. I've let too much life pass me by because of my size.

I think most of you know who I am.

However for those who have not yet had the honor of trading blows with me in the R&R forum, I am Derick, I live in the state of Jefferson.

If you are female I will flirt shamelessly with you eventually (take a number, please) :eyebrows:

I am not politically correct in any way (unless it serves my purposes at the moment) and am in general; rude, lewd and crude. At least I am honest

i am 27...gonna be 28 next week...live in the uninhabited (according to derik :eek:) state of wyoming. i have been married for 2 1/2 years. i have one stepson, one bio son and one bio daughter. they boys 10 months apart is all, so its a lot like having twins. and our sweet baby girl will be turning 1 next month. seems like i just had her.

anyways.... i have been banded for 3 months now. still working on gettin some of this figured out, the biggest part being the head hunger. it really messes with me. plus the stress and emotional eating. oh well, all in good time. a new step each new day, right?

My name is Angelica (aren't I inventive with the SN)

25, totally awesome, not really single anymore, banded on Oct 23, 07. I live in the butthole of Texas, El Paso, its just about as far West Texas as one can get, in fact, at any given time I can drive 20 minutes and be in New Mexico, or 15 minutes and be in the real Mexico.

I have no idea how much weight I have lost (I dont weigh myself unless I am at the Doctors office, last count was 23 pounds), but I am kinda excited that I cant shove an entire cake in my face anymore.

Hey ya'll. My name is Jenna and I am 28. Live in Louisiana and I am not yet banded. I just finished all the preliminaries for the insurance company today and waiting for all the reports to be sent to my primary so that it can be submitted to insurance. (Wish I had a time machine to fastforward this process :eek:)

[bandster_1007 1]

Hello!! My name is Tabatha, and i reside in Arkansas.

i have significant other, who i refer to as dh..lol...not legal though. may as well be.

we have a 7 (or will be 1/18) year old son together. i would love to have more, but my health does not currently permit pregnancy.

i work in mortgaging. i studied psychology in college and took a very long break (still taking it). i current am 18 hours from my b.s. in psychology, but now i'm interested in business.. lol, i'll go back eventually, but i'm more interested in getting my weight under control.

my interests involve just about anything. i thirst for knowledge, and i love a good healthy debate.

this band thing has been hella hard for me thus far. i just got my 2nd fill, and i just started losing weight, so things are looking up.

If you've ever been in the rants and raves forum, you probably know me. I've been hanging around here for a while, since it took me about 9/10 months to get approved and have surgery. I'm 24, banded 7/3/07 in Memphis, TN. I'm basically a 50/50 resident of Kentucky/Tennessee (getting a MS in Biology in Kentucky, but spend a lot of time with my family in TN when I'm not working on my thesis or teaching).

Ha! You wish! Ain't NO ONE seeing this fat chick naked until I'm a heck of a lot closer to goal! :eyebrows:

[Loup_Nocturne 1]

Hello,

I am Loup (Wolf); I am in WA. State and will be 25 in a few months. I am currently going through the steps and have my nutritionist appointment tomorrow with my psychological evaluation set to Monday.

My dad just got his LB about two or three weeks ago and is really excited that I have decided to look into this option. I am thrilled to have crossed this forum, it is so nice to talk with people who have struggled in the same way I have.
