AmyUSMCwife 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Hello , I am going to be a 2009 Banded for sure. I am just getting started. I have been Up and Down my whole life losing over 100 LBS 3 time. I want to losse it for the last time. I am in pain every day of my life. My back hurts after standing in one place for 15 minutes from all the weght and I have a bad knee. I have a BMI of 43 at age 30. I know if i don't do this now I will have more problems very soon. I have tricare Prime so i know I will have no problem getting the surgery here in San Diego at the MTF. I would love to buddy up with other starting on the journey to a better thinner life.
