4 month check-up

Aug 15, 2008

I went for my 4 month check-up yesterday.  I was thrilled!!  I lost 15 pounds since my last check-up 5 weeks ago.  I didn't get another fill, since I was losing and don't get hungry between meals.  I go back in two months.
I had also been wondering if my weight loss was noticable to anyone else.  I knew it would come, but I was getting impatient.  Last night I was at my son's baseball practice and a friend of mine wanted to know what I had been doing.  She went on and on and wanted to know when I was going to buy new clothes.  She thought the ones I was wearing were too big! lol! I loved it.  I want to wear them everyday.  I don't remember the last time I wore something that was too big because I had lost weight.
I love my band!!!!!

Getting ready for the band

Jul 13, 2008

I started out thinking that I wanted RNY.  I called my insurance company to find out it WLS was covered and what all I needed to do.  I started my 6 mth. supervised diet at      . 

Went to the information seminar with Dr. Babineau in Tyler and after listening to all the information and asking questions I decided Lap-band was for me.

I continued with my supervised diet, got my nutritional and psychological consultations.  However, during that time I went back and forth..."am I doing the right thing"...."maybe I can do this on my own". 

I had talked myself out of it by Dec. 2007.  I started the new year like so many before - on a diet!  I felt like I worked harder trying to keep from gaining weight instead of losing it. 

I got the call from Dr. Babineau's office in March saying that I had been approved and it was time to schedule my surgery.  I freaked out!  I knew that it was do and move on or keep doing what I had always done.  I was tired of that, so I scheduled my surgery for April 25th.
