Hello-

My name is Jane and I am looking foward to being banded in about 7 weeks. This has been a long road. I save the dollar up and after 13 years and two adoptions found myself pregant- so the $$$ went to the pregnancy and delivery (no maternoity insurance) and I got a beautiful baby girl and about 50 lbs lighter. (aren't hormnes wonderful)

Well after a year of breast feeding we are still much lower than when we started the pregnancy and I am ready for surgery.

I have three beautiful children and a wonderful supportive husband.

I have been heavy all of my life (ok the part I remember well age 10 and up) I just wish when I was 160 I had thoiught that was cool instead of the end of the world as all those kids in high school said.

Been reading the boards and and the chat sites for over 2 years now and am very confident with my decision.

Thanks

Hi Jane

Congratulation to you and your family! Sounds like you've done your research and the timing is right.

7 weeks will be here before you know it.

Hi Jane, and welcome! Congratulations on your family and your decision. I know it was my kids who made me finally take control of my lifelong weight problem--they're great motivators, the little ones.

Hope you hang around and let us know how the surgery goes. Nice to meet you! :cool:
