The wait is finally over!!!
Dec 03, 2009
On November 30th, 2009, I found out that I was approved to have the lap-band. After years of struggling with my weight and never truly being able to get it under control, I decided that I needed help. About six months ago I began looking into alternative weight loss surgeries other than the gastric bypass b/c I wanted something that could be reversible. After doing research, I found out about the lap-band and went to the orientation and a week later I began my monthly weight loss visits. My insurance company requires me to have four months of weight loss visits and my initial visit was on August 12th and November 16th was my last appointment. Fourteen days later, I received the news from my insurance company that I was approved for surgery. My surgery date is set for December 11th and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I've already began my pre-op diet and began drinking my shakes 2-3 times a day. I thought not being able to eat carbs would be hard for me but surprisingly, its not at all. So far, I've been doing great by sticking to my Adkins style diet and I plan to keep it that way. I look forward to this journey and I'm ready to make this change in my life.
