I have been checking in and reading about how everyone is doing. I hope that doesn't sound too creepy, but on my harder days, I find so much comfort in this forum.

Hi, Jennifer, so glad to "meet" you! You feel free to read and post anything you like. We're all friendly, average, overweight people that have been given a chance to be healthier. There are also people here that are researching the band. Look forward to "hearing" from you more often! Congratulations on the 26# loss!

So do the rest of us -- nothing creepy about it! Lurk all you want, and if you ever feel like posting something, jump on in. You might want to check out the thread called "THE moment" (http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=3530); lots of amazing stories there about what made people decide to get banded. Welcome!

Hi Jennifer,

Nice to meet you and glad we can be so inspiring. I too love and depend on this forum. Best wishes, Teresa
