Hello Everyone!

I've been on the sidelines reading this forum for a few weeks now but didn't want to participate until I had my insurance approval. I got the good news yesterday and it's finally begining to set in. I'm so nervous and excited. I have battled with my weight for most of my life and I am finally in a position to win this battle. Thank you to all who have posted your stories and inspired and motivated me to get this done. I hope one day my story will be able to inspire someone to take the steps to winning the fight of their life!!!

Congratulations !

It will be here before you know it and you will be losing, losing, losing!

I had my surgery in NY, with Dr. Ren on 1/12/09, I feel great and am loving entering into this spring weather 40+ lbs lighter, and know that I will keep it up until I meet my goal.

Good luck, keep us posted!

hiya, I am from Western Ny and I do not have a date set yet, but am anxiously awaiting a date now.

May 14th is my birthday! I'll think of you on that day and pray that your surgery is going well.

Where in NY are you located?

You can email me if you intrestested in talking. I'm not banded and I'm very nervous and scared of the surgery.... but i also hope that one day my story will inspire someone else to make a change. I'm taking before and during and after pictures of myself. I want it documented on what i've done and what has helped me!

talk to you soon
