Hello from Florida

So...Hello to all. I am about to embark on my banding journey on Sept 2nd. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I get to have my procedure in the hospital I work at, so I am lucky to know all of the nurses and staff that will be caring for me. I will be a starter patient for a local surgeon starting his lap-band program. But, I know this surgeon very well and trust in him and his staff completely.

Well...Alittle about me. I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. All through school it was a problem both emotionally and physically. After high school I was certain that I would spend the rest of my life alone. But, through some miracle I fell in love and it was reciprocated. My husband has always told me, "I love you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes...and everything in-between." Well, after about 5 years or so, we wondered why we had not gotten pregnant yet. After many test, I was told I had PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) The doctors told me to loose weight, well PCOS makes that very difficult. I have tried it all. So, I am looking to this procedure not only as a way to get healthy and loose needed weight, but also as a chance to finally start a family.

I look foward to meeting new people here and to sharing this new part of my life. I hope we can all achive our goals and make our lives better... })i({
