Well it's been 4 1/2 months since my surgery and I feel so much better.  The last time I checked my weight was about a month ago but i'm down almost 60lbs.  I have been doing really well lately, I got sick and ended up in the hospital for a week, not related to the surgery.  But anyway I started slackin on my protein intake and wouldn't you know it, my freaking hair started fallin out!!  I'm back on track now, BUT boy was that scary!!!  It's still hard to get at least 64 grams down in a day, but i'm gettin closer to my goal as I recover from my hospital stay.
Other than that I feel much more confident, and am VERY happy with my decision to have this surgery!!! 

Well Tomorrow is my surgury.  I'm very excited.  it only took about 3 months to get all of my clearances and insurance approvals.  I can't wait to start a new healthier life!!!!!  I had my first appt with Dr. Irgua in January and started at 292lbs, eeeeeekkk!!!!!!  I'm currently down to 283.  
It's soo hard to try to go to sleep.  I feel like a kid the night before going to DisneyLand or something.  Well i'll post more later. 

11/06/07-I have finally made a decision to change my lifestyle. I have found a surgeon, I meet w/ my PCP in 2 days to start this whole process. Not sure what I am going to have to go thru but I'm willing to wait it out!!! I can't wait to start livin' life like a normal person instead of watching everyone else live!!! Anyone w/ any advice for someone just starting this journey PLEASE let me know!!!!
I already know my insurance Coventry of Delaware will not cover Lap Band it will only cover Gastric Bypass if deemed medically neccesary by my PCP.
