introduction

Hello everyone,

I'm Amy, 33, banded July 11, 2003 with Dr. Ortiz. I'm usually a lurker and don't post much, but just thought I would say hello and hope that this site provides lots of inforamtion for all of us. I live in Henderson NV, right outside Las Vegas. With the current heat, it allows me lots of time on the computer. I made the decision to get lap band after several unsuccessful attempts to lose weight. I saw first hand how my life would be through the eyes of my obese mother and father. I just didn't want to spend the greater portion of my adult life with high blood presssure, high cholesterol, bad knees, back ect. I'm looking to a bright future with the extra pounds gone!!

Sincerely,

Amy
