Hi Ginger, I am also new here.. I am not in the South Jersey area, far from it, but I am going through with my second surgery in August to be Sleeved after my body had a problem with the Gastric Band, I am 45yrs old have 6 children 4 of which are adults and 2 younger girls.. I am currently 102kg and was originally 127 when I was banded in June 2010.

I am looking forward to restarting my journey with another tool to help me with my battle of the bulge..

Good luck on yours, I am available for any chats during your personal journey.
