Hi my name is Desi,

I live in the Northern Territory Australia. I was born and raised in Melbourne and moved to the USA in 2000 and moved back in 2010. I am 36 and a stay at home mum to 3 children 10, 9 and 7 months and happy wife of 13 years to my darling hubby.

I am flying to Melbourne in 9 days to have surgery on the 20th with Dr. Paul Burton of lapbandaustralia.com

I am a bit nervouse BUT a lot excited.

I am Star Wars crazed and love cake decorating, cooking and baking.

My Fitness Goal is to run a 5K next November and my Weight Goal is 135lbs (61 kilos) or to reach a healthy BMI. I currently weigh 201lbs (91 kilos).

I am excited and look forward to having a buddy/mentor.

There is a Long Time member here who goes by the screen name "lellow"...she is from down under....

Her success story is quite remarkable, and from her posts I can tell she is someone who truly undrstands how the band works, and how to listen to it...not just a lot of "Positive sayings", but practical living.....

I always like reading her posts....

Thanks for the info, i will try to find her.
