Newbie Here!

Hi All.

I'm a 26 y.o. female in PA who is getting her ducks in a row for Lapband Surgery. I am meeting the Nutritionist this month and have already met with the Psych Dr, Cardio, sleep Study, Pulmonary etc.

I weigh 279, and am not happy about it. I have a beautiful 6 y.o. daughter and I am very close to my mom who is a great support system! :(

The only thing I am nervous about is the extra skin. My skin is pretty tight because of my age. I had my daughter and although i held onto some of the baby weight, my skin didnt sag or bunch up after having her. (Im counting on the same being true post-op):)

Any comments would be appreciated.

I have shared my plans with many people, because I want to keep it private until I start seeing results!:(
