I love my Band!!!!

I will be banded on August 29,2005 and my current weight is 277lbs. I am 5'6 inches tall and my body mass index is 45. I chose this procedure because of the success of a close friend and the success of recent friends at my doctor's office. I am looking forward to watching the success of all of you and offering and recieving encouragement when needed or just because you or I need a "hug". I am 41 years old and quit smoking 5 1/2 years ago and have gained 100 pounds. Although I have always struggled with excess weight, this has been a brutal battle. If not for the fact that 5 people in my family have died from smoking, I would have started again. Now I am so glad to be having the band surgery so soon. My insurance would not cover this, weight surgery exclusion, so this is a self-pay through a 3-year loan. After all the money spent on weight loss failures, this is well worth the money. Thanks for listening to me type, I wish each of you great success and even more happiness!

Friend in Texas,

"Rose"
