**waving furiously**

Just wondering if there's room in here (no pun intended) for one more twenty-something.

My name is Jenny and I'm 28 years old. I'm getting banded in June (no date set yet) and I'm really excited. Especially after looking around here in and seeing how amazing you all look!

Ok, so here's a little about me...

I'm Jenny. I'm 28 and I live in Loveland, Colorado with my husband of 8 years, Jeff, and our two sons, Cameron (7) and Connor (4). I've been heavy since puberty, but my weight ballooned out of control after kids. I'm pushing 300 lbs. now which both horrifies and disgusts me. I'm sick of not being able to be active with my boys and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pass my bad habits on to them.

So, LapBand it is! I would love to get the surgery sooner than June, but I work as a school nurse in an elementary school and I can't get the time off work until school is out for the summer. *sigh* Its gonna be a long wait.

Anyways... thats it! I look forward to getting to know you all!

Just wanted to say hi to Amanda, Michelle, and Kelsey! I'm also Liz but from Philly!

I was a swimmer my whole life, but I was still chunky I got into lifting after high school so I have packed on muscle but i cant see it with all this fat hehe!

I actually played football last year for an womens football team in PA, but I am not playing this year due to my surgery and my new work schedule. Talk about fun! I get to knock the heck out of people heheh

Hi Ladies! I'm Sarah- I'm 23 and I'm from Massachusetts. I am also waiting to get banded... it'll probably happen in June or July (I'm getting married in May and don't need the extra stress!). I'm very excited to get it and to start losing weight. I've already lost 5 pounds and I hope to lose 5-10 more before the surgery.

I've pretty much been heavy since my parents divorced when I was 7- I was a compulsive overeater for quite some time after that- so I don't think I've ever actually lost weight- until now!

I want to wish you all the best of luck on your journies! I'm hoping to make some band buddies on here that I can talk to about our progress :thumbup:

Woohoo!!! Welcome Sarah.

Hey ladies...how is everyone doing? I'm good...been doing pretty well w/ the fill I got on the 20th but definitely think I may need one more. I go back in on the 4th...

Hey everyone! I'm Jeanette from TX. I'm hopefully getting banded in March, but no set date yet. I've been overweight since I was 13 and I'm sick of it...tried all the diets, etc, and nothing's worked.

I almost got banded in April 09, but chickened out because I was scared, but now that I've found y'all and read lots of blogs, I'm ready for it! I'm excited, I WANT THIS!!

Hey Fly!! All is well, trying to get all my tests in asap. Hopefully your next fill with be the "one"
