Hi,

I've been lurking here for a while and really enjoy this site. My partner and I were recently approved by the surgeon for the band. We've started our pre surgery hoops that includes a 6month medically supervised weight loss program. If all goes well looking to be banded in Sept 2012. I have a BMI of 49 (Jesus that's terrible). I hope to post more as I go thru the process. I was on WW first in Kindergarten and remember being embarrassed to see my teacher at a meeting in middle school. It's time to lose this weight and the band will help me. I'm so happy in all other areas of my life now it's time to get healthy. I also have a blog to encourage myself and hopefully others. http://thefatgirlthin.blogspot.com
