After the stage of grief, I have decided that it's time to make a change. I realize after so much research, and surfing this board and lapbandtalk.com that the lapband is not magic, it's a tool. I am commited to making changes to my eating habits and my lack of exercise. I have been through the 6 month supervised diet that aetna required and I got approved the first time with no problems. I have completed all my preop labs and test and now have a date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOVEMBER 27TH 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have begin to keep a diary of my weight loss , my goals, my overall feelings about changing my lifestyle. I am so excited! I am a proud mother of two girls and one son. They are ages 16,13, and 9. I am also married to their father. This is going to be a lifestyle change for us all!!!!!

-2-9-2008... Decided to update.. I had my first fill last month under fluro .25cc he took some out not sure how much ... No restriction I am now scheduled to go back this wednesday for another fill. I hope this one give me at least some restriction. I have been over doing it and have tried to stay within the bandster rules.. I am not sure if I have lost any weight because I am scared to get on the scale. Good news I have went down a size or two in clothing. And I feel somewhat better. But the weight loss has definately slowed to a mere crawl... Kind of disappointed,................
