I'm in beauty school and will be banded next week .. I took off a week I hope that's enough time !

Hey all! For anyone that needs a buddy or mentor I wanna help! my name is ashley I am 27 from NJ I am married and dont have any children yet... I am 9 months post op and have lost about 100 lbs woot! (still cant believe it) I have gotten a lot of help and support in, my journey and want to help someone else out too! Look forward to meeting some new friends

Cazzy-You are an inspiration! Wow, you have done great with your weight loss. I think my comments about not losing much yet were in response to so many people saying how they lost 13 to 16 pounds in their first week. I really do feel good. I'm not very hungry and I'm figuring out what types of foods work for me and which don't. Believe me, I'm in this for the long haul and will not give up!!!

Hey y'all my name is Shawnte, I am 34 years old and I am ready to begin a new lifestyle change. I am over weight and have been for some time now. I have started diets and didn't complete them. I have gone to the gym which was also a fail. I am familiar with the lap band and recently had my PCM put in a referral. Good news is I received my approval letter and now I am so anxious to get this ball rolling. My husband will be deploying soon and what a better time to focus and take better care of myself. I have a few questions like starting what do I do now?!? I did attend a seminar a while back ago and have no problem attending another one. Any input or advice is greatly appreciated. I am looking for inspirational stories as well as becoming friends with anyone that has had or getting ready to have the lap band procedure.

Thank you for the encouragement Holly.
