OMG! Happy New Year, Losers!!!  

It's been some months, but now is a great time to pick up where I last left off.  My last post had me coming off of a short term diet (HCG) and confirming that I would need my lap band replace.  As far as maintaining the 29 lb weight loss, I'll say I've kept about 15-20 lbs off.  Not too bad...  So, the lap band.  It was placed on hold b/c i didn't have insurance coverage nor $10,000. Well, I'm proud to say that not long after my last posting I obtained a job with the same insurance coverage which will allow me to have my surgery!!!!  **happy dance!**  My new insurance kicked in the first of the year, and today I made the call to Dr. Benavides' office to schedule my surgery.  I will be starting "Take 2" of my Lap Band journey on...drum roll....JANUARY 20TH!! EEEEEK! I'm so ready, yet extremely SCARED The thought of going under freaks me out. I know, I know, I've been through this before, but that was 5 years ago; and although everything turned out fine, there's always "what if..." 

So, Bandsters, I'm ready to become a "Loser" again and hop on the new & updated Lap Band(wagon). 

On a serious note though, everyone, anyone who reads this post, PRAY for me.  Yes, this replacement surgery is a minor day surgery procedure, yet MAJOR things can occur.  I want to make it through without any complications and I'm truly worried. I'm praying on my end, but send an additional one up for me. 

Until Next Time Losers,


Kahlia
