Hello everyone,

I have been creeping on this site for over a month now and have gained a lot of knowledge. I have met my surgeon, I have my psych eval this week. I have also seen my PCP once for my 6 month requirement for my band placement, so I am looking at a fall banding.

I am excited yet very nervous about this new adventure. Many of you have already answered a lot of my questions as well as mentored me so far and I greatly appreciate that!!!

I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life. I have to admit, I feel like there is no such tool that could possibly help me loose 100 lbs. I have seen so many of you on here that have, however I just can never imagine my body 100 lbs lighter. I have made some life style changes already and it has resulted in 7 lbs gone in the last month. Water is my drink of choice, I make a conscious effort daily to eat more fruits and veggies. I have a regular exercise routine as well. I know these are things I will need to do even with the band, so I may as well start dealing with it now!!!

Glad to be here,
