Having been overweight most of my teen years and all of my adult years, I had a wake-up call when I turned 40. After years of thinking I could get this under control myself, I realized, through a lot of prayer, that I had to ask for help. Again through prayer and also a lot of research, I realized that the lap-band would be for me. I'm a nurse and I "know" how things are supposed to work but that just isn't realistic anymore. I've been through all of the planning with the counselor and dietician, had all my pre-op stuff done, told my family, friends, and colleagues so now I'm ready to go. I've actually lost 18 pounds in 10 weeks, just trying to make some changes so I really feel like I'm set up for success! Surgery is Monday, Nov. 3, 2008 @ 0730. Wish me luck!
