Hi there! I've never done this before, so I'll introduce myself. I have been married for 31 years and have one son who is 26 years old, married, and gave me a beautiful grandson 6 months ago. I absolutely adore my grandson and LOVE being a grandma!!!! I am SOOOOO happy I had the surgery and have not regretted it for even one single moment since I had it. My only regret is that I didn't do it at least 10 years ago. My doctor here in Tulsa is great - Dr. Ladd Atkins. I love this forum and everyone on it. It has been a lifesaver during the time before and since my surgery!

Exercise goal for November~ Start doing some type of light exercise 3x/week for 15 minutes each time. Personal goal for November~ Be thankful for all I have and show that appreciation to someone every day. Date banded~ 7/18/13 Total weight loss since banding/pre op diet~ 50 lbs. Favorite Thanksgiving Activity~ Being with family - spending time together & good food!
