Newbie

Hi everyone as my title states I am new to this forum but have been lurking around reading all of your posts and trying to gain as much knowledge as possible before my surgery. I was recently blessed with two grand daughters and wanting to see their children has inspired me to take the plunge and have the surgery. As with most of you I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I am forty six years old and really can't remember a time when I wasn't thinking of or feeling guilty about food. I have done the gym thing, herbal magic, weight watchers, Atkins (which was my best success with 80 lbs lost) but nothing has helped me to keep the weight off. I am really hoping the band gives me the edge I need. Highest weight 276, pre-op weight 264 current weight 251. Surgery is next Thursday the 25th of July. Just wanted to say hi.
