A Newbie To The Group Today

Hello,

Today, I went to my first seminar in Cincinnati in regards to the Lap Band Surgery. To say the least, I was very emotional the minute I walked into the room. Tears seem to flow as I embarked on this new journey. I have only 50 lbs to lose and paying the $13,000.00 to do so brought many fears to me. It's been 15 years since I have felt like a real person and this very well could be my last hope to feel normal again and just live life happily. I have put so much money into Jenny Craig, and all the other programs that seem to work great, but unfortunately, the weight comes back and fast.

I hope to find some positive feedback as I post my fears here on the days to come.

Thanks all....

Welcome & good luck on your journey. I've gained & lost 130 lbs on my own, only to put it all back on again. I'm really glad I finally decided to do this.
