Hey all! I have been lurking for a few days now, and wanted to introduce myself to the community. My name is Amy, I will be turning 29 later this month. I am scheduled to have the Lap-Band surgery on April 28, 2006 by Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, Mexico. I am a mother to two lovely and active children, daughter Emily is 4 and son Anderson is 3. We just settled in Tampa, FL after making a major move from the west coast due to stress in hubbie's job. Now that we are settled he is forcing me to focus on myself. Yes, I am one of those people that puts everyone first. Why do you think I am still fat? LOL So my darling husband, light of my life, has proclaimed it to be my turn for attention. I couldn't have picked a better guy. I have decided to pay for the whole surgery up front rather than put it on a credit card or get a loan. That way its over and done with. So my surgery is scheduled for when the amount will be completely saved. Until then I am doing some preliminary weight loss before surgery so that my metabolism is already raring to go, and so that I am in a bit better shape for the procedure itself. I do not have any medical issues, just lots of pain in my legs and back. I can no longer work because of this pain, so I am a housewife that gets to sit down every half hour. (I used to be very athletic when I was younger, and have a previous knee injury that now gets enflamed quite a bit) So that is me. I think I have stated everything. I will be posting before pics at some point. But there is a pic of hubby and I in my profile. I'm so glad you all are here. All of your success and confidence in yourselves is what made me decide to take the plunge. So for that, I thank you. Amy
