hey there! you were asking me about my weight loss.

i haven't had the lap band procedure done yet - my photos are from 3 years ago, when i lost weight on my own through diet and exercise. I've been struggling with a horrible eating disorder for the past 5 years, and i'm tired of the yo-yo'ing, and putting my body through the ups and downs of gaining/losing/gaining/losing.

I'm heading to mexico the 2nd week in March to get banded by Dr Ortiz ..

Hey there!

I haven't even HAD the lap band procedure done yet!

I originally lost over 70lbs on my own, through diet and exercise. Unfortunately, my eating habits have slipped over the past year, and my history with eating disorders has taken a toll on my body ... and I believe the lapband will help me regain that control I've always felt I didn't have.

I have my surgery schedule for the end of February, as I've been waiting for one of my real estate options to sell - I don't want to rack up debt for this

But please, don't lose hope.

I just joined this forum, thinking it would be full of hidden information -- but it's proven the opposite!

I'm shocked at the lack of knowledge on general nutrition, and fitness ... most Lap Band people in here don't exercise!!! BOO!
