Well here I go off on a new adventure and a long and exciting journey. Here I am 28 years old and as society would like to say... fat! I have struggled with weight all my life. Just about everyone in my family is overweight or morbidly obese. I am here to start the journey to be on the other side of the fence. I have a beautiful 20 month old daughter that I can't keep up with and have decided to make my outsides match my insides. I have so many aspirations and dreams for things to do in my life and with my daughter and family... I'm not going to let weight slow me down. So here I come... onto lapbandtalk.com. I'm one of the lucky ones... not only do I have a phenominal support system in my family I also have two wonderful friends who work with me that will be going through the process with me.

They too have decided that the lap band is the change they need in their life to help them be and accomplish what they dream. I am not very good at navigating this site so please bear with me... but I am so excited to meet everyone and look forward to learning all about the travels that have gotten you to where you are today.

:tt2:

:sneaky: Way to go, glad to have ya'll here. I can't believe how much better I feel since my banding. My only regret is waiting so long.

Best of luck on your journey! Joanie :mad2:)
