Hi Taunia, What a coincidence! I live in Lowell too…I am in the pre op stage and am hoping to have my surgery when school gets out in June. I am going to begin attending some of the required support groups at Lowell Generals Center for Weight Loss Management – maybe I’ll see you there (if that’s where you are going)! Keep up the positive outlook….you’re going to do amazingly! Mary

I mean to reply to this earlier, but what a coincidence that we’re both in Lowell! I wanted to go to the Lowell General meetings, but since they’re held on Tuesdays, I can’t because I teach until 7:30 pm. Booo! I was actually thinking of starting a local group out of my house. Can I put you on the mailing list??

I’m not “against” them, I just didn’t think it was the right choice for me. My reasons were 1) becuase of the amount of weight I had/have to lose, 2) my doctor agreed with me on that and urged me to NOT get the band 3) I am uncomfortable with a “port” in my side (I know, wacky) 4) I didn’t want to have to continually go for saline injections/fills. Those were my reasons. Hope that helps!

This was a great intro video, thank you for sharing. I needed some inspiration and found this video. I’m struggling right now with some emotional eating. How are you doing with the emotional side of what led to you being overweight? Does it get easier with weight loss? I hope that’s not too personal a question. Keep up the great work!
