Hello Everyone,

My name is Lyn and I have been poking around this site for a couple of weeks now. I thought it was time to introduce myself. I am just barely starting the process. I meet with my new PCP next week to get a referral to the weight loss center at Cedars Sanai here in LA. I am very excited and scared all at the same time. I actually made it to the center last year and even had a consult with the surgeon then chickened out. I have gone back and forth with this decision. I keep thinking that if I just try a little bit harder I can do this on my own. Well a year and twenty pounds later I have finally come to terms with this and know that I need help. I surrender! I can't do it on my own, not long term. I have found tons of motivation and determination on this site. Everytime I get scared and start to change my mind again I sign-on and read the post and sucess stories and I know that this is what I want. I can't keep hiding behind the pounds. I am tired of being invisible. I will keep you all posted of my progress.

Welcome to LBT. I wish you luck in starting your journey again. I understand totally not being able to do this on your own. The band will be a great tool for us all who are still not banded. Again good luck and I like the quote in your signature. Hope to hear from you throughout your process.

Hi and welcome to LBT!
