hey every one im not banded yet but im in the process of trying to set it up. i was just wondering from an honest stand point what are your goals and motivations?? i just turned 20 last month and as of aug i can apply for the police academy. right now the ONLY reason they wound accept me is becasue of my weight. =/ and i plan on going to the FBI academy after the Police academy so that is ultimatly my goal and motivation! whats yours?

i know what you mean. that is one of my biggest concerns. im still really young and as superficial as it sounds id rather just stay fat then be a bag of skin. have talked to alot of women about the issuse and im pretty confident that with proper exercise we are still young enuf that the cologin will help us bounce right back! i tried to set up my appt to tlk to my doc about the lap band today! best of luck with yours!
