9 days post op and doing ok!
Feb 05, 2008
I just wanted to let everyone know how I was doing. As most of you know I had the Band surgery on the 28th. I had two really rough days as far as the pain goes. I was also having a real hard time drinking anything. Towards the end of the week I was a lot better. In fact I was feeling good enough to do a (little) shopping with Kelli. My biggest problem is finding a protein supplement that doesn't gag me. For now I will stick to my carnitation instant breakfast with milk 3 times a day. The sugar free pop sicles and jello have been my life savior. Hopefully the next time I email you guys it will be to say how much weight I have lost. My Dr. Appointment is next Monday, and that is when I will get weighed. Mom says I have lost about 5-10 pounds already, But I really cant tell. Well anyway just wanted to give everyone an update.
Pre-Op Testing
Jan 24, 2008
I had my pre-op testing today. Everything went great except for the lady who didn't know how to take blood. It took her 4 times and 4 needles to take the amount she needed. Tomorrow is my last day of work before my surgery. I am really excited about that. Monday is the big day!!!!!! My doc told me to have my "Last Supper" tomorrow night. I can't decide what that will be yet, though it will defiantely include a chocolate desert! I lost 2 1/2 pounds since last Thursday! That was exciting to find out today. Well I'm sure I will post this weekend when it get a little closer.
I finally got the date!!!!!!

What a Journey!
Nov 02, 2007
So I am really new at this......I just started doing this blog stuff. Someone I know who already had the lapband suggested I join a support group. I have completed all my classes and now I am waiting for the dreded insurance. Its taken 4 weeks for them to actually receive it. Its just a waiting game now. Hopefully I will hear something a week or two. I know several people who have already gotten approvals. I am just hoping for the best. Wish me Luck!
