I just got totally confused by the forum titles and categories reshuffling themselves between viewing one thread and coming back to the menu, but I like the new arrangement.

Hello All, I am Desiree, 42, married for 23 years and have 1 21 yr old. I am getting my band April 1. Thank you to all who post here. I GREATY appriciate this forum. Its a great time filler of my never ending nervous energy.

Hi Wendy and Desiree, welcome to LBT. My son hasn't heard of the fat gene either. He takes after his dad's side in that respect. They all eat, and eat...and then eat some more and never gain a pound. My poor daughter takes after me though, and has to watch everything that goes in her mouth. The good thing about my band though is that I have changed the way I eat and my activity level. She is 15, eats what I eat and enjoys working out with me. She is learning good habits at a young age that will hopefully last her a lifetime.
