Hey everyone!

My name's Sarah and I'm pretty new at this.

I'm 20 years old and I'm in my 2nd year of college studying Education.

This is going to sound really stupid but I'm not as bubble brained as I know this is gonna seem...

I've been overweight my entire life and I've tried everything from Weight Watchers to Jenny Craig.

My parents are really big on me losing weight and are on me all the time about it.

I was watching MTV's documentary series "True Life" and an episode that happened to be on last night caught my attention, "True Life: I'm Obese"

Well...as I was watching, I saw young people my age struggle with obesity and it made me realize.."the health complications they're going through could very well happen to me."

I've been researching Lap Band for a few months now and was really up in the air about it.

I saw the show last night and realized "I've come to a decision. I'm gonna go for it."

I'm going for a consult next Monday and I'm really praying that I get banded...I guess..idk..I'm still really new at all of this..during my spring break.

Well, that's about it. haha.

Anything else you wanna know about me..just ask!!

Sarah out!
