Keeb is a Noob

[Keebofsylph 0]

Hi everyone, I'm Christina. I'm 26 years old and will be banded in 2 weeks (Aug, 28th). I'm both excited and nervous about my new journey but am looking forward to this experience. I currently weigh 310lbs and have become this heavy due to lack of excersise because I have Degenerative Disc Disease.

My back has affected me for almost 5 years now, and before being injured I was able to do anything. I was still considered overweight but I would be out and about, going dancing with friends, playing sports and keeping up with my very young sibilings at the time.

I'm also married to my super supportive husband, he's been my everything going through all of this and I thank him so much for even attending the seminar last October with me.

I'm also a gammer on Final Fantasy 11 Sylph server. That's where I get my handle from if anyone plays the game. I have many supportive friends there, and in a lot of ways they are a huge family I never had in front of me while growing up.

I've been reading around these forums over the past two days and finally decided to say "hey what's up people!" Most of you have already took the leap of faith with the banding and wow, the results are amazing! Congrats to you all!!!

It's nice to meet all of you! Be well and keep on going! :tongue_smilie:
