My name is Catherine and I am in my mid twenties. I live in Melbourne, Australia.
Once upon a time I was an overweight girl, and now I am an obese woman.
So it’s time to do something about it.

Tomorrow, I will be getting a Lap Band™ put on my stomach.
If you don’t know anything about Lap Band’s™ check out this web site The Centre for Bariatric Surgery. This is also where I will be getting the surgery, my surgeon Mr. Gary Crosthwaite, is the most calming doctor I have ever been the presence of. He seems so know everything about what he does, which of course is makes me feel great!

So basically the lap band separates your stomach into two, without the dangers of a long and invasive surgery. Having a Lap Band™ is a weight loss surgery, and it is not something to be taken lightly. Essentially when you have a Lap Band™ you feel fuller sooner. So after I eat an entrée serve I will be stuffed. It’s hard to believe, but I am assured that my new life starts tomorrow. Let’s just see…

I will be writing my first few posts in a few days once I am home from the hospital and recovered a little bit… Stay tuned
