Hello everybody

Please let me introduce myself. I am Mike and I am very excited about the prospect of being banded in my lifelong Quest to lose weight. I am committed to the effort and I view the band as the missing piece of my personal puzzle. I am enjoying reading all of your posts, and they have provided me with a lot of great information.

I will make my goal and I will seek support whenever I feel that I need it. Thands for being here for me.

Mike

Hey, GreyTZ!

Thanks for the feedback and congratulations on your progress. I am very excited! I need to get one of those tracker things that I see everybody using to post their progress. Where do you find them?

Hey, Unforgetable!

Thanks for the warm welcome! everybody here seems so nice and supportive. I am feeling really good about this decision, and I am looking forward to getting my date and ultimately beginning my journey. I love your description as "Future Former Fatty", and I think of myself in the same respect. Like you, I know I have it in me to get leaner and healthier, and I share your optimism. I'll let you know when I get my date.
