Alex what a nice site to post on - it is really like another parents one I used to post on all the time. You have done a wonderful job and I love being part of anything new, so this is great for me. If at anytime you need any sort of help my email is glenda6@hotmail.com. I love to chat also perhaps we can organise a regular time on here for everyone who is interested (time zones are complex I realise). Once again, as we say here in Aus - "Good on ya, mate" ! Glenda

Alex, I am due to be banded next Tuesday 29 July here in Sydney Australia. I lived in Albuqerque NM for the best part of 2000, my partner is Canadian. I do market research and look after my 14 month old, and spend an hour or two on the internet everyday - part work and part making friends from all over. I seem to get along better with you guys - but I of course I have my Aussie mates too. Anything else you would like to know??? Glenda

I am like you Alexandra, I never thought this would be possible and that I would always just be what I have known for so long. On the outside I always seemed OK, but my weight made me make a lot of bad choices and I put up with alot I doubt I would have otherwise. But......... we can't go back and I am excited at the prospect of not hating myself and feeling beautiful. I will be banded (I live in Australia) next Tuesday 29 July and I have waited on the list for the hospital for nearly 10 months - but that time was invaluable to research and sort out things in my head. I could go on about the angels I have one or maybe two - but I'll bore you with that another time... Glenda
