Another Newbie....
Hello! I've been lurking for the past couple days, and wanted to finally introduce myself. I'm 29....and only 1 year away from the the BIG 3-0. Anyway, I figured I could join this one since I'm technically still in my 20s and no matter what...always will be :) LOL
Well, I've always been on the larger size, ever since I hit puberty and it kept getting worse. Finally, I was diagnosed wth PCOS and started meds and diet, after diet. After so many years, of being like this I had, had enough. My Best Friend brought up the topic of the Band surgery and we talked about doing this together. I'm a couple months behind her, but had my surgery on May 21st.
As I sit here today, I can't believe I'm 1 week post-op. I'm feeling good, and following the rules. I am so obsessed with weighing everyday, that my fiance has to remind me to stop. LOL Anyway, we were planning a August 2010 wedding. However, plans changed and I lost my job 1 month before my surgery. And because I'll be losing my insurance, we are now getting married on June 26th...this YEAR.
Sorry for the LONG intro! Looking forward to getting to know each of you and best of luck as we journey on to a Better and Healthy Life.
