Hi from Chattanooga area!!

[sweetrepose 1]

Hi I am Kathy and I am 35 years old, I live in Newberg, Oregon. I hope to be banded this spring.

Hey guys,

I am 30 and from Louisville, KY. I was banded on 12-11-07. I have lost about 17 lbs so far and am looking forward to my first fill this Thursday! I am so excited to have this band! I worked on the insurance approval for about a year. I am looking forward to having the support of this message bord behind me as I slim down, for good! I am hoping that this summer I will be able to go to the pool instead of wishing I could and doing things I havent done in ages due to my weight. Great to be on here with you guys!!

Alicia:tongue:

Hi all...I just turned 34 in December. So far I think my 30's are better than my 20's because I'm getting my life back.

This thread should be interesting. Any other 30-Somethings out there who are not married yet?? Or, am I the ONLY one who isn't and still has no kids???? Errrr.

No! I am single, no kids. I often feel the same way though...all my friends are either married or in serious long term relationships except one and he's gay so we are a couple by default a lot of the time. :biggrin:

Well, I am married now, just past the three year mark this month and I will be 38 on Tuesday (he is 34 by the way - so don't rule out a younger man.) No kids with no plans for them. We love being the crazy aunt and uncle.

I met my husband when I was 32 and totally thought I was Bridget Jones - well except for the whole drinking and smoking thing. We married 2 weeks before I turned 35.

No disrespect to anyone who married their high school sweetheart or just married younger, but I am SOOOO happy I married in my 30's. For both of us, this was the way to go. We both admit that if either of us had married earlier, or for that matter met each other earlier in life, we would never have been as happy as we are now.

I am single with no kids as well...........

I'm single, with furkids , who I love w/ all my heart!! I'd at least like to date after I lose this weight. (What does that say about my personality??? :girl_hug:) One day I'd like to get married, and I feel that I'll have a better chance of that when I weigh less.

Hi! I'm only 23, but am from Australia and see there is some fellow aussies in here, hope you dont mind me joining in.

[Manatee 3]

My turn I reckon.

39 until July, I'm a guy, divorced and no kids. Near goal, but I might lower it once I get there. 40 is going to be a good year for me.

Hi Nikki! Welcome! It's nice to see another Aussie here (even if you are a long way away!)

I know what you mean, Texgirly...my hubby and I are both on marriage #2. We have agreed that our firsts were our "practice marriages". We know ourselves so much better now than in our twenties, and have more to offer one another as partners.

I think it's WONDERFUL when people do find someone so young and have a long and happy marriage together. I just don't think it ever could have been me. I'm just such a different person than I was even 10 years ago, much less when I was in high school.

Good luck on getting your approval for surgery!

[gkeyt 0]

I was excited but nervous. Then, at 2am following my surgery, I was wondering what the hell I had done to myself and that it is forever. Luckily, that has passed for now and see it as a positive. Tomorrow will be better.

How are you feeling, greeneyez? It's been almost a week...doing okay with liquids? Things should be looking up about now, less pain, less soreness...although the post op diet is no walk in the park. Hope you and all others who just had surgery are doing well!

That's awesome! Almost at goal in 8 months...congrats!!

I think it will take me another year to get there, just because I just started anesthesia school. I'm not in a hurry. I feel so much better now, I can take my time with the last bit.

anyway...congrats, and welcome!

hi everyone!

i'm 33 - which feels weird since i spent most of last year thinking i was already 33.

I feel like I'm in this crisis since I dont know what I want to be when I grow up - and feel by now I should be in the thick of whatever I am supposed to be.

I know this stress has really stiffled my weightloss.

Anyone else feel this way?
