Hello everyone!! I am excited to be part of this weight loss community!! I've been reading alot of stories on here for the past two years and I've decided that I want to get the lapband surgery. So far I have had my psy eval, pcp approval, and have turned in all my paperwork to the newstart program of St. Louis, MO!! I am excited to meet some new great people and share my journey and experiences with you all.:thumbup:

Hey Jess, it sounds like you are really on your way! Do you have a supervised diet period like I (and many of us) did? Because that wait can be unbearable, LOL. Welcome aboard and good luck to you!

Thanks, good luck to you too!! Yeah i did have to do the supervised diet. It was truly a pain but i made it!! I hope I get approved soon!!

Hello Jessica

It is great to see someone else in their early 20's take control of their life. All the pain and waiting your experiencing now will be well worth it in the end. I'm glad your doing well, keep up the good work.
