Hey Gang, Well I'm on a mission...of WLS..lol...like I'm sure everyone else here has...I'm going to be having Lap GB in the very near future...struggling wiht the waiting though...IT SUCKS!!!...it's horrible...I'm so impatient...I'm waiting to have my blood work and pre-op testing done...I've already met with my surgery and jumped through some hoops...it feels like I'm closing in on the finish line but it seems to be that it's one hell of a slow race...

Hi Sarah, Hang in there girl. Remember, the turtle won the race and so will you. Keep trying the seven day menu plan. I know about being impatient but there is nothing we can do about that so move on!! lol Hugs to all who need one - Carolyn

Hi Sarah, \welcome to this wonderful site. There are so many knowledgeable people here. You can ask any question and someone will answer,and they are honest with their answers. I know it is very frustrating to find out that you have to wait for so long. The wait is worth it. There are so many people with wt issues and they have to wait so long. I was very lucky. I was able to get financing through Credit Medical. Once I had that I made my appointment. The sad thing was that I had to go to Ontario to get it done. When I made my appoitment I only had to wait 3 months. I was banded on May 12. It was the best thing I haver done for myself. I have lost 18 lbs since surgery and a toltal of 25 lbs including 7lbs lost on the pre-op diet. So it does work. The waiting is the hard part, but if you can be patient it will be worth it. If you have any questions ask away. Good luck on your journey. Laurie
