Hello. I am new to the boards. My name is Tabby and I am just beginning my journey with the lapband. My weightloss journey began around the age of 12. Sadly I would lose weight and gain it back plus more. At 500 lbs I had my "aha" moment and started getting serious... I started usin protein shakes (herbalife) and with that and the support of family and friends I lost 150 lbs. Now I see myself slowly starting to gain weight back. I decided to have the lapband as an extra tool I know I can do this and get where I want to be. While I have a wonderful support group I think it will be helpful to meet other ppl that is going through the same things I am going through atm.
