Hi! I am new!
Hi! I just wanted to introduce my self. I've been lurking for a while but got my surgery date today and thought it was time to come out of hiding. My surgery is scheduled for 12/18 assuming my health insurance approves it. I'm very excited to have it done! Just to tell you a little about myself, I am 35 and have 2 little girls ( 10 mo and 4 years) I currently weigh 254. I weigh more than 100lbs more than when I got pregnant w/ my first daughter. 2 pregnancies really did me in along w/ the stress of working full time and raising 2 little girls.
Thanks for all the advice so far and I look forward to getting the surgery!

Welcome. How exciting for you. I will keep my fingers crossed your insurance goes through with no hitches. I am sure it will.
I was banded in September. I also have 2 young girls (4 and 17 months). It is hard trying to take care of me when I am so busy, but I am finding as much time as I can. :D You'll do great.
Best of luck to you.

Glad to see you're no longer a lurker !! WELCOME to the family !! Be prepared to experience what I call the Weight Loss Surgery Roller-coaster. Before and after the operations there will be highs and lows (mostly highs). You're may experience a bump, but don't get discouraged. You will see that "time" will fix whatever the issue is, and you'll be back on your upward swing.
Know no matter what happens, we're here for you !!
I am polishing your place on the loser's bench in our winner's circle !!
Good Luck on your Journey !!
