Hi, I'm Tiffany. I'm 35 ,married with 2 kids. I have been overweight my entire life. I have 2 beautiful children and my health is in the toilet. Now is the time for me to do something for myself and I think this the way to do it. I've tried diet after diet and excercise programs. Expensive gym memberships and more...I need help and I hope this is the way to go. I'm just starting my journey and I am so happy to have found this group. This procedure seems to be very succesful. I'm very excited to learn more.

Hugs, Tiffany:)

Hi Tiffany, I was exactly like you that is why I went with the band. I have dieted my entire life with failure. This is the first time in my life I am not bound by a diet. I eat and stop when I'm full. It is really that simple. I've lost 32 lbs without having to worry about dieting. It is truly a gift. Good luck with your surgery. It will be life changing.

Good luck to you. I already feel better and am only a month out. It is an emotional and can be a physical rollercoaster so make sure you can take the time off and have the support you need. Good luck. You are going to do wonderful.
