Well today I was suppose to meet my Doc. But he will not be in today. Is this a sign????? I hope a good one. Hehe!! Well I have been doing okay. Just waiting to see the Doc so I can feel like something is happening. Til next time.

Yesterday I went to the dietician. It was cool. We talked about food! I was on a good track she said. I was eating all my meals. I haven't been skipping meals which is a mistake. So thats good. She was glad that i was already eating health and working out. Now that I have moved to dayshift since yesterday. It has really helped me. I have been waking up at 6am and going jogging for about 20min to 30min.   When I first get out of bed I am like no way I am tired. But I make myself go and workout. I have been eating alot healthier as well. Which improves my strength and well to go go go and do all that I can.

Well I went to a few semniars and I have chosen Dr. Storey at Bayshore Hospital in Pasadena TX. He is very helpful on answering any question I had and giving me information on the Lap-Band. I am meeting with a Dietician on monday!! It feels good to get the ball rolling. I just got off the phone with my Insurance and than sayed that the surgery is coverd and that I would just have to get the Dr. Storey to do his thing. I also asked does my benfits cover me seeing a dietician. Than said no. But I am okay with that. I will just pay out of my pocket. . These Past few weeks have been good. I have been eating alot healthier and walking doing more that a month ago. It feels really good to sweat and do something avtice. I don't know? It just feels good.. To feel like I am doing something with my day than just seating around at home and at work just hitting my keyboard.     I am enjoying workingout and eating alot better. A salad a day. and knocking out all the other unheathly stuff. Portion control is a big help and knowing when you are full... Well till then ....

I still havn't chosen a doctor just yet!! But i have been working on my eating for the past a month or so and working out!! I have gone down 2 pant size's!! It feels good to but pants on that I didn't think would fit until i had the surgery. But it feels good!!

Today has been crazy! I guess? I am going to a few seminar's this month. To find the right doctor for me. I am going June 20th to Dr. Garth Davis, not because he is the "doctor on TV" Big Medicine. But Beacuse he has alot of great reviews and he has alot of surgeries under his belt. Plus I am ready to ask questions! Lol Also to Dr. Adam Naaman has a seminar June 23. But there is this big convention in Austin That I want to go to. Dr. Naaman has preformed alot of surgeries too.. Then Dr. Storey July 2. He is the doctor that my Primary doctor sent me too. I haven't meet Dr. Story. But he hasn't preformed alot. I look at that. I need to know that my doctor will be their when i need him to be. I think I will find my answer soon. I hope so. I want to get on the ball with this. I you guys have anything please help me....or what I should look for.. Thanks Johnnie 

Hello everyone! I am Johnnie. I guess i should start off by saying how I heard about WLS. I have been researching WLS for about 2yrs. I have been looking at all types from Gastric to the Lap Band and I have decide that i want the Lap Band. I am not looking for a quick fix or anything. I want long term results. I feel like my body is struggling everyday with lower back problems and my legs hurting all the time. I am only 23 and YES!! I have always been overweight. Ever since i can remember as a kid being the kid that not really got picked on because I was the bigger guy in class. Never got made fun of, But I knew the kids did say something behind my back. I never said anthing i just didn't pay attention to that. It's hard to go through that kind of abuse at such a young age. I was very acvtive. Always playing with the other kids riding my bike around town playing sports never getting tired. My parents knew that I was always the bigger kid in class. I guess that than thought I would grow out of it!  I guess i never really did.
     Well the weight gained and gained. I started to play sports from Football, Basketball and Track and Field. I did all the same workouts and weight lifting that was required of everyone. I had postive somehting postive coming from sports though I was always the biggest guy on the team. I was always the strongest in Weight lifting, among other thing. But i was always the slowest guys. Being last and just struggling. But SOMETHING happened in 8th grade. I was lifting a good amount of weight when my back went out! I just but the Squat bar back into postion and tryed to walk off the pain. The pain i was having was in my lower right back.  Again I was only in 8th grade I was so sever that i sat down on a bench and then i could not get back up. My coaches call the ambluance that picked me up and took me to the hospital. The doctor told me that it was the weight i was lifting and the weight i was carrying around all day. I was about 300 lbs back then. So the doctor gave me a WL doctor to go see. So i went and did the test and than he told me. "Son your overweight" I was like No shit! That's why I am here My dad laughed the doctor wasn't to happy so i just basically never saw a doctor again for my weight. I figured I would Work out more and hopefully me playing sports would help........
