I thought it would be nice if we all tell a little about ourselves if you would like to.

A little about me. My name is Becky I am 29 will be 30 on April 24th. I live in Tennessee. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 12 years and we have 3 boys. Tyler and Jayden identical twins will be 10 in June and Ryan my baby is 7. I am the lone girl in a houseful of men. LOL. Of course I think it would be worse if we had all girls and my husband was the only one in a houseful of women. Ha-Ha. I am a Teacher's Assistant in Preschool. I work in my kids school it is a wonderful job I have the same schedule as my kids, off on weekends, holidays, and summer. Can't get any better than that.

I have been working on the lapband since July 2009 it has been a journey I am glad it is finally scheduled. My surgery is scheduled for April 8th I am anxious, nervous, worried, excited, etc., etc. Can't wait to get to know you all and go through this wonderful life change with you. I won't be able to go to support group meetings because they are either during the day when I am at work or at night when my husband is at work and I don't have a babysitter. So I am hoping this will be my support besides friends and family when I need it.

I'm Lauren and was banded on April Fool's Day. I live north of Houston, Texas with my husband and three dogs...plus a few more now and then that visit..., 2 noisy Quaker parrots, and 3 cats. One adult son stays here with his dog a couple nights a week when he finishes class and is too tired to go on home. I also joined the forum for those of us in their 50's. So far I have lost 18 lbs...didn't bother with losing pre-op. Just made some changes in habits rather than concentrating on a diet, so most of this is post-op weight loss. So far so good.

My name is Angie. I am 34 yrs old and single mom to two boys who are 4 and 6. We live in northern Wisconsin. I was banded on April 20th and would love to chat with any of you about our journey and life in general. Add me on facebook with this email starr68@hotmail.com
