About My Weight Loss Surgery Journey

I created this channel to record my weight loss surgery journey, gain support and friendship, and hopefully help others through my experiences.

I am a grad student in Virginia working on my MBA. I am having the laparoscopic adjustable banding surgery (LapBand). My surgery date was January 22, 2009.
