Hello my name is crissy and I have a appt nov 18 to get my date for my lap band surgery. I am getting my surgery at Walter Reid Army Medical Center washington dc. I started this journey in march. I can not wait. My husband lost his right leg and shattered his right forearm in Iraq on june 6 07. I have four beautiful children and love life with my family but I am tired of being fat. I have just started in the last month changing my ways to prepare and I have lost 24 pounds in a month and a half. I already feel great. Gym everyday, protein shakes, healthy food, no soda, no coffee. I was consuming 20-23 sodas a day and drinking a pot of coffee. I have come a long way already in this journey. I feel great though and that is all that matters to me. :biggrin: I am and will suceed so I am here to learn and socialize.....................bye bye:thumbup:

Congrtas to you ! Wow your family has been through a lot.

You deserve a new start. You will not be sorry you did this and you will be a better wife and mother for it as well.

Good luck to you and thank your husband and you for his service.
