Hello to everyone!

[Mary Ellen 0]

After much research and years of trying to get my insurance to cover my surgery, I sucked it up and decided to get a loan to pay for my surgery. I was banded on Sept. 30, 2008 by Dr. Dean McDaniel of Victoria, Texas. He's a cool doctor. I have lost 36 lbs. and need to start exercising to help myself along. I would like to lose a total of 100 lbs. so I have 96 lbs. to go. I enjoy reading everyone's suggestions and tips. Hope to contribute some helpful tips in the future. :biggrin:

Welcome Mary Ellen! I'm confused, you want to lose 100 pounds and have lost 36...so shouldn't you have 64 to go, not 96?

Whichever it is, it's nice to see you post!
