Ok, here it is, pretty plain and simple: I've always been overweight...and as most every one of us can relate to, I have been on about every diet known to mankind...only to end up back where I started, or even heavier from 'making up for lost time'! Pretty textbook. Only since I broke the 300 mark this summer of 2007, I came to terms with myself: I could NOT do it alone, and it would take something permanent to make my weightloss sucessful and everlasting. Surgery. After MUCH investigation, seminars, and the whole package that comes with a life altering decision like this, I took the final steps in getting my operation scheduled......and the BEST part is that my BEST FRIEND and I are going to be getting the same operation (Lap-Band), and hopefully at the same time, or at least very close together! 
Ours will be a story to follow, as we even have about the same amount of weight to lose!
I'm looking forward to cooresponding with all of you!
