January 31, 2007 I began my journey approximately two years ago when I began exploring the LAP Band. It has taken me a while to find a surgeon that didn't pressure me to have the gastric bypass. I am scheduled for surgery March 1st. I am very excited, but extremely nervous too. I feel extremely blessed because my approval came so easy as well as extremely fortunate when I read the difficulties so many of you have encountered getting approved. I'm trying to build new coping skills i.e. I'm learning yoga from a friend and mediation on scripture. I'm hoping this makes the transition to my new tummy a little easier. I'll keep you posted. Feel free to give me any pointers in learning about the new me.
