I'm from Texas, happily married with 3 beautiful kids. I work full time in radio as a Prduction Director and do freelance voice-over work as well. I'm in college working on finishing my degree and between work, school, kids, church and baseball/softball we are one busy family as I know many of you can relate.  I have battled with my weight for over 10 years now, and I turned 35 this year and decided I didn't want to finish out my 30's being overweight. My mom was banded 2 years ago and has lost right at 90 pounds and looks and feels fantastic! You was a big inspiration for me to move forward with the surgery, I started the process 2 years ago and chickened out but this time was different. I will be banded Wednesday August 12, 2009 and I am beyond excited!! My insurance approved me for surgery after the first letter and I'm not looking back.  Instead of a bucket list I have a "skinny butt" list, these are things on my list that I want to do or buy once I have lost weight. Things that most people take for granted i.e., tuck in my shirt, buy a belt, new family portrait, a new "little black dress", etc. The list is getting longer and I can't wait to start crossing things off! My life is far from perfect but I am so very blessed.  I look forward to meeting and talking with people on here who are going through the same things as me.
