Hello to the Weight Loss Surgery Community...I am so excited to say that I am joining your ranks today. I have been through all of my initial tests and visits, and meeting with my Docs. I received insurance approval last week. I contemplated joining here through each step, but it really wasn't real to me until all of these steps were completed. I am thrilled to say that they are a go and per my doctors, I will be having a reversal of an old (over 10 years old) Mexican Lap band procedure that has never had a fill and was just a "weight" around my stomach for the last 10 years. My surgery of choice is rny gastric bypass.
I should have gone forward with this weight loss surgery before now, but as they say, all in due time. I believe that the time is right and I am ready now. I have had lessons to learn and I believe that I can embrace this journey with intellegence and responsibility that I know it will require.
I begin my pre-op exercise program tomorrow. I thought it best to begin the exercise phase now so that when I begin the pre-op liquid diet I will already have begun a positive behavior change and maybe that will help me through the liquid preop adventure.
I look forward to sharing with you my journey and learning from yours. If any of you have any advise regarding the next stages I am eager to listen and learn. My surgery date is December 6, 2010. My liquid diet begins the day after Thanksgiving! Ha-- truly a last meal. Thanks in advance for sharing I am looking to loose 191 pounds. My starting weight is 340. I am 5'10" so my goal maybe a little lighter than necessary but I say, let's dream big....
