5.   To able to play softball again

6.   To gain my confidence back again

7.   To feel as beautiful on the outside as I do on the inside

8.    To be able to fit comfortably in airplane seat n rides like that the fair n other places.

9.   To look n feel comfortable in a swimsuit,without feelin like a beached whale LOL

10.   To have my daughter see that I am making good choices n hopefully she will follow in my footsteps. 

As some of you know I switched centers for my journey.  If you wanna know why feel free to asks. 


I called my PCP(for those of you who don't know what that is  your reg doctor) to see if she can fax my medical info n a referral to  center down in Herrin for my journey.   She said she had to see me before she would,so next Wednesday @11:30 am I have an appt with her.    Then on Friday March 11th I have go to a seminar down at Herrin HP.   Then hopefully in April I can start  my appts and actually go from start to finish(surgery) this time.    For those who think this is the easy way out to lose weight you don't know the half of it.  I have been tryin to get banded(get the lap band) for almost 2 yrs now.  It is a long n hard journey but I think in the end it will be well worth it knowing I will be a healthier person for not only myself but for my daughter,family n friends(who are like family to me).   I am lucky to have such wonderful people in my life to support me in my decision to get this done. 

Tomorrow will be 3rd of 6 months of supervised visits with my PCP for my insurance.  Then on Jan 6th I will do a follow up with the NUT n see the Social worker.  I am getting closer to getting the band done.  I can't wait.  I have been doing my Wii fit again too.  I am getting to the point I wanna workout too.  I have been eating better and less too.  Drinking water and drinking maybe 1/2 a soda that will take me all day to drink too.  I am hoping tomorrow I have lost a couple of lbs.  I have to lose and keep off 5-10 lbs for the next 3 months for my insurance. 

My Saying for this journey

Don't let anyone keep you down. If they try they aren't worth your time. Get away from them & surround yourself with the comfort of your friends & don't give up

I would like to thanks everyone for being in my corner during my journey and hopefully you all will be there for my after too. 

Love

Me

Wednesday I went to my PCP for my 2nd of 6 months supervised visits.  I found that my insurance only wants u to lose around 5-10 lbs.  My next appts for Springfield is Dec 14th I do a follow up with the NUT and see the social worker.  Then I go Dec 15th for my 3rd month with my PCP.  I am slowly but surely gettin to my surgery. 

Thanks everyone for ur support!!!!!

Well the 20th of this month I started my appts up in Springfield.  The dietiatin said she sees nothing that will stop me from being successful after my surgery.  We figured out my problem(some of u already now my problem). I go back to Springfield on Nov 8th to do 2 classes and see the PT.  Then Nov 10th I see my PCP for my 2nd month of my 6 month appts.  I would like thank everyone for being there for me in my decidion to have this done.

Thanks
