Hello everyone!!

I'm Chrystal- from Austin, in the Lone Star state! :scared2:

I attended the seminar last week by Dr. Fass. I was super impressed, but I wished they had someone who went through the surgery to come and speak with us about their own experience. But I'm sure I will find alot more in here, and look forward to make new friends, and support system in all of you.

And vice versa too!

I am only 27 and am morbidly overweight at 345 lbs. I've gone through so much of yo-yo dieting. I was always overweight- (since elem school) and I'm really tired of hiding behind all this weight and not living life like I should be! I'm tired of being unhealthy, having people judge me too quickly because of me being fat! I deserve better. My body & heart :heart: deserves much better than this.

Few friends of mine has been banded- they are happier, & most importantly, much healthier now. I am seriously considering the "go ahead" decision of getting one. My insurance covers I think, 80% of this surgery. I think it's worth every penny. Healthiness is my #1 goal out of this. I am skeptical about surgeries, but I think this is much better than gastric bypass. It's much less invasive. And it's reversible.

I hope to learn much more as I go with the evaluations, testings, and researching before I make the final appt for the surgery date.

Thanks for reading! :crying:
