Surgery date set!

Sep 24, 2010

I had a complete unfill yesterday. 2.7 cc's removed. I can eat better but still having pain. Septmeber 29, 2010 is my date to have this band out!!  I'm nervous to lose the band. It has swiftly kicked my butt a few good times and I really appreciate that. Especially when I wanted that big stack of pancakes and I PB'ed the first bite. I know without this band I will have to just say no to al the things I would have tried to eat and couldn't with the band. It was helpful and hurtful all at the same time. The doc's scale said I weighed 256. YIKES!  Last summer I was 213. He said that in January the SC state health insurance will open up 100 slots to state workers to get FREE  gastric bypass, band or sleeve and he will submit my info. Hopefully I will get approved, if not, I will be heading to Mexico for the sleeve this summer. It will give my tummy time to heal and then I can recommit to this WLS journey. It's been a crazy ride so far, it can only get better, right?
