OK, I'm suppose to say my name and age, gender and where I am from, my weight now and what I want my weight to be, and few other things. So I will, I just hope I don't bore anyone.

My name is Stacy, I live in a small town in SouthEast, Tennessee and I just turned 30 last month. I have been married to a wonderful and supportive man by the name of Mark, for 4 months. We have 4 beautifull and wonderfull children. 2 are his from his previous marriage and 2 are mine from my previous marriage.

I am a Certified Nursing Assistant that at the moment stay home with her disabled daughter to take care of her. I hope to soon be able to enter back into the workforce.

I currently weigh 264lbs (SHHH) with a BMI of 46.8 By the time it's all said and done I hope to have lost down to atleast 145lbs. I am scheduled for my lapband on August 18, 2008 while I am so happy and excited to be having this finally done, I am very nervous over having it done. I'm sure everyone that has had this surgery has went through the nervous spell.

I hope this is enough....

Hi Stacey,
