3 Things

Apr 08, 2011

Well, I am now waiting for 3 things to happen:
1. The call from the surgeon (I'm worried that she may say no to lap-band because of my high BMI.)
2. The information session next Friday, April15th
3.  My first weigh in with my general practitioner Thursday, April 28th

I had a serious talk with my best friend, Heather, in which she gave me the low-down on what would happen if I did not follow post operative eating guidelines.  It wasn't pretty.  She said that if I were to ever eat more than I should that I would stretch out the portion of my stomach above the band and could die from that.  Scary.  I feel confidant that I can do this and that the band will be a helpful tool but I am wondering- how is it that so many people go from having very little self-discipline to a great deal of discipline after the lap-band has been placed?  It must be able to be done or so many people wouldn't be successful.  If anyone reading this prays, please pray for me that I will develop the self discipline to live a new life with the help of this tool- and that the surgeon will approve to do the surgery!
