I have been contemplating all kinds of way to "FINALLY" get my weight under control. I decided that before my next birthday (october) I would get things straight. Diets haven't worked and I'm tired of rebounds that result in more weight. I'm 5'2" and 203 now the biggest I've ever been other then 9 months pregnate with my daughter and 212. I go to my seminar on 2/20/08 and have already decided to use the same doctor that did my gall bladder surgery, Dr. Bautista in Richmond, VA, he is so down to earth, honest and funny. I'll be keeping my posts going though my journey.

Welcome and congratulations on your decision. It's funny...I made up my mind on my birthday too. I went to the doctor following my 33rd birthday and began with my six months of supervised weight loss effort (that was September 2006). In April 2007 I went under the knife and now I'm 87 pounds lighter. It is a wonderful tool and it can truly make a difference in your life. Good luck on your journey!
