Hi. I am a 38yr old mother of three very busy boys and wife to a wonderful man. I am 5'5" and 258 lbs. I have diabetes, high cholesterol, heel spurs, severe lower back pain, arthritis in my knees and very mild sleep apnea. I have been fighting my weight for about 22 yrs now and I am losing the war. It looks like the only way that I 'm going to get the lap band is to self pay

Hello, 

First and formost, I want to tell everyone here that I am truly sorry that I haven't let you guys get to know me better.  I've had alot to do and deal with since my mother has been on hospice.  She lives with us and I am her primary caregiver.  She had been in the hospital since Sunday and just came home late last night.  I started culinary school on Monday and everything has been a little crazy.  I don't know how, but I managed to stay on my pre-op diet and have lost 17 lbs since I had my consult with Dr Wagner.  I still can't believe that it's going to happen.

Well I started my pre-op diet yesterday.  Woulnd't  you it had to be the day before the holiday.  I start school on Monday and I'm excited and nervous about that more than I am about the surgery.  Anyway, hope everybody has a safe weekend.

This has been a very BUSY week for me.  After 4 long years, I am financing my surgery.  I went  to another seminar on Tues., had my consult with Dr. Wagner on Wed., got my psych eval. and clearance last night.  Today I go see my primary doctor for the PRE-OP tests. I start the clear liquids on 7/3.  I am so excited and anxious I know that I'm driving my DH crazy LOL.
