Yeah, I think its high time I make a change and get my booty down to a reasonable size. But, that's why we are all here, right?

So, about me....

I'm Mego. Pleased to meet you. No no no...the Pleasure is all mine....

I'm a fatty. **Record Scratch** Yeah, a fatty.

I'm 27 and have been married for a year to an amazing (very skinny) man. I keep telling him that he is a chubby chaser, but he just says he knows beauty when he sees it. <3 Yeah, I love the hubz. Although I am 27, I feel 97. Its time to get this weight off and possibly start a family. I refuse to be 270 and try to have a baby. That's just no good people, no good at all. My husband started a new job today and I will have health insurance for the first time in 7 years. I need the lap band. I want the lap band. So, yeah, I'm excited to start the process of fighting with Cigna.

So, hello!

Hey! You're crackin me up with the record scratch. I like to think of myself as a future former fatty, it sounds much nicer haha

Welcome to the boards! There is lots and lots of useful information to be found here

Hello Mego:

I'm a fatty too lol - my husband used to chase me all over but now that he has a budda belly - sadly the chase has slowed to a crawl.

So I decided to have this operation. My surgery is booked for Sept 18th 2009. Can't wait. So excited. I know once I start dropping the weight my hubby will be too and the chase will be on once again.

I have to keep life exciting - all our boys are teens or adults now so there is lots of alone time coming soon!!

I was 275 when I gave birth to my last son. You are right you don't want to get pregant at that weight - it was really hard. Good luck on your new adventure!

Congratulations on your decision to be banded!! It's the best thing I ever did. I can now after 9 weeks.....SEE MY TOES...ta-da!! Haven't seen 'em when I am vertical for 'bout 25 years!

Good luck and welcome,

Hugs,

G'ma

Hi and welcome. I was recently banded well kinda recent 7-1-09, so I'm pretty new at this also. Good luck with your insurance. Just jump through all their hoops and dont let them have a reason to deny you! It may take a little time but you will get there.:blushing:

Welcome......you're hilarious.....on a serious note, I'm in the same boat as you, I refuse to have kids unless I lose 100 pounds

Welcome!! I'm in the same boat, rowing down the same "fat" river as well. Good luck with CIGNA, I have them and I have to work with a nutritionist for 6 months...its required. It stinks, BUT I think it's good in a way, it will help prepare me for such a HUGE life change!! Best of luck to you!!

hey there Mego,

im from australia, i also dont want to think about kids until im down to say 60kg, or even get a guy, cos im so self concious, especially with the muffin top and wonderful stretch marks, gotta love them. i got my lapband done 30/8 and one of the good things, despite now being on old peoples mushie food. but at least the band can be deflated when your pregnant so inadvernently you can gain weight.

im 28 and wish i had the guts, literally to do it earlier!

in aussie dollars mine only cost me in total $1600

i hope everything is going well, and hello to everyone else out there
