I've joined the Lap-Band club!

Hi everyone! This is my first time on here as a member, I admit I've lurked on some other discussion threads just reading everyone's inspiring stories. But now I think its time for me to participate - I'm officially banded! My surgery was performed yesterday by Dr. Hollis in Houston. So far, a little sore but not too bad!

A little about me, I'm a 24 year old female, been overweight my whole life and I guess I just finally decided to do something real about it. I started my pre-op diet at 292 lbs () and after the 2 wk pre-diet I went into surgery at 280 lbs. My goal is 180, I know its a lofty goal but I know I can do it! Oh and also, I'm getting married in 5 months, so I'm really eager to see how far down I can get before the wedding!

Well thanks for reading everyone - can't wait to update!
