New here & new band (2-5-07)

[factory-girl 0]

:laugh:Hey everyone, banded for a little over a year and loving it. Starting at 311 now down to 222, just 11 more pounds and i'll have 100 pounds lost....can't wait. I have been floating around here for a few days and reading everyones post. This seems like a wonderful group of people. I need the support this site offers. The dr's want to do the operations but they need to work on the heads (mind) too. So many things running through my head, so many questions, just kind of lost here. Not knowing what my goal should be, will I ever not crave sweets, will the skin on my double chin go away somewhat? Just want to know does anyone else go through these feelings or am I just out there in the milky way, yum, that sounds good. lol

Thanks for reading my post, looking forward to being your web-friend. Andi

Hi there Andi,

Welcome aboard! I didn't find this board until months after I was banded. It's been a lifesaver for me as well.

And shame on you for mentioning the Milky Way. :thumbup:

At least you didn't say anything about a Snickers Icecream Bar.
