Well, my last weight management visit is next Monday, April 7th. We then submit the paperwork to the insurance (Aetna) and hopefully by early - mid May I will be banded and on my way to a healthier life.
I recently got a bike to ride with my kids so that should come in real handy for excercise and fun with the kids. I can't wait to be able to sit in a bus seat and cross my legs or sit on a plane and not worry about 'can I buckle the seat belt this time'.... Soon enough I won't have to worry about it. Well, back to work I go. Good luck to all who are working to acheive their goal weight.

Today I feel good about myself and boy it's been a long time since I've felt this way. I have my mind set on meeting my goal weight and with the support of my husband and family, I can do this. I want my old body and self-confidence back. I go back for my 2nd weight management appointment Feb. 11th, so I need to either maintain or lose weight by then. Dr. didn't tell me I had to lose weight, just maintain, so I guess that is good.
The past year has been realy hard for me and I made it hard for my marriage. I had a baby little over 2 years ago and never realy got back to the old me. To put it bluntly...I didn't want to be here at times. But something broke in me and I let it all out and I feel relieved now. Like a big weight was lifted off and I feel happy. I want to make sure I'm around to see my kids grow up and play sports and act their hearts out. So with that all said, I'm ready to start working out daily and making sure I'm eating right. I'm hoping to have the Lap-Band surgery in April/May pending insurance approval. Wish me luck!
