Hi Everybody, I'm new to the site. I've begun the process needed to have the lap band surgery. It will take a few months to process, and while I'm waiting it out, I would really like to try losing weight on my own one more time. I would rather not have the band, but am feeling a little desperate, here, I have 150 pounds to lose, and I'm retirement age, so there are a lot of issues at once. Have enjoyed reading the posts, and hope to get to know you better.

Thanks

Welcome to 3FC!! Have you seen our WLS forum yet? I'm pretty sure those ladies know everything about WLS---pro and con. Surf around. We have great calorie counting and Weight Watchers forums too.

Thanks for the advice. I will go to that forum.

Welcome

I definitely recommend looking around at the different forums. The 100 lb club is a great forum for those of us that have had or still have 100 lbs or more to lose. There is also a 300+ lb forum for those that are near 300 lbs or more. There are also various forums that may appeal to you.

Hi! I'm new to the site as well! Welcome aboard!
