Hello Everyone!   I am super excited that I have been approved for the Lap Band Procedure!  I am scheduled for June 24th.  

I live in Baltimore and will be going to Dr Averbach.  I would really like to get with someone else who has recently had a weight loss procedure so that we can coach each other and exercise together sometimes. 

I am 35 years old, 5 ft tall, and weigh between 192 and 199 depending on the day.  I have been overweight for as long as I have memory.  I am a major overeater.  I know this will be a HARD transition and MAJOR lifestyle change but I am ready!!!  My husband and friends are supportive but not sure they know what this really means in regards to the emotions wrapped up in my fat.  I really want to get out of this body -- it is killing me.   Metabolic Syndrome, Diabetic, High Cholestorol, Sleep Apnea....and just the many years of not taking care of myself. 

I have been successful in dieting but never keep it off --

I have done lots of traveling and tried all types of food in my life -- done  alot of interesting things but the things that I have not done are skiing, canoeing, hiking, really anything that is remotely healthy and I WANT TO DO THOSE THINGS!  

Looking forward to creating some new relationships with people on this forum.  Please feel free to friend me, DM, or respond in any way.

Thanks and GOOD LUCK, take Care!
