I have had many a trial since having my surgery Oct 2,2007. Life has been quite difficult. Why? Because of my own undoing. My weight loss has been so slow. I lost about 20lbs immediately. Then came thanksgivng and christmas then new year and all of that off of one fill with almost no restriction and a doc that is very good but very conservative with his fills. I began exercising when i wanted to and eating right 60% of the time and wondering why am I not dropping the weight like other people who had surgery the same month as I did. Well I have almost lost 30lbs in less than 6 mths. i am now at 213lbs, that came with exercising til I really sweat not perspire! i eat my protein first and veggies 2nd taking 3 bites of protein to every one bite of veggies. I can alomsot see my old shape coming in. I started this journey at my highest weight of 242 lbs.I hoope to be at 200 by my bday in may! So to those having a hard time, sit down and focus on what you can do better not what you are doing wrong.

Just met with my surgeon. I really like him. He allowed me to ask as many questions as possible and was very knowledgeable. I guess he should be. Anyway I am so excited because he gave me a surgery date of my choice and I chose Tues Oct 1-07. I can't believe how fast this has come by.

I just found out that anohter doc in my area does not have and enrollment fee and my fills will be a co-payment this is good news to me. I shall cont this process.

I am so upset! I just found out that the doc that I wanted to do my surgeery Dr. Bour has a $2000 enrollment fee. What? Also I will have to pay $250 everytime I need a fill. I'm confused if I had that kind of mony I would do Jenny craig or Nutrisystem. It's all about money y'all it's all about MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I will look up another doc in another county near me. Pray for me.

ya'll I am so addicted to this place. I am so anticipating starting a new life. The waitng is so long and I am soooooo impatient. I have only told my mom and my husband about me having surgery. At one moment i am so happy that the lap band was created and at the next moment I am so embarassed that it takes surgery to help me lose weight and get my metab back in line. Why is there such a taboo about a surgeon helping someone from dying in the future. People need to get over it. I am a very personable person and I get a long with most but when it comes to my business, it's mine!!!!!!!!! and this has saved me from alot of heartache but has also, in a way given me loneliness. I can tell my husband aything and he is very supportive, but sometimes you just want a good friend that you know has you back. Someone who will support you weight loss efforts and not tear you down because you have tried everything only to lose and gain again. (This sounds like a sad dear john letter, it really aint as bad as it sounds). I was the girl in school that was built like a brick house every curve had it's place and all the guys let me know it. Now the only curve I see is the one going over my stomach and where it ends I don't know i have not seen that far in a while- ha ha. I absolutely hate to run into any one I went to high school with, I usually go the other way. Sad I know. I even hate for my oldest son's father to see how fat I have become and I don't even value his opinion. Now my hubby acts like he can't tell a difference even after 50+ lbs gained, he is sweet. So here my old life will end and Prayerfully, a new life as a bander will begin. Peace til next entry.
