Getting Closer

Haven't blogged here for a long time...and it has been a long time since I began this journey back in April, but I finally have a surgery date. December 11, 2009. I start the pre-op diet next Friday, the day after Thanksgiving....which will be my last big pigout!

May Events

It will be a very busy May with all the appointments I have coming up. This is good because I guess it means thing are rolling along. Last week I met with my PCP who is going to try to get enough weight loss documentation together to sumbit to my insuance co in order to waive the 6 month waiting period. Next on the list is the appointment with the exercise psysiologist and the dietian. The following week I have my Psych evaluation. :biggrin: And I also need to schedule my stress test. Until I kn

For those of you that don't know, it is a day filled with eating literally tons of delicious home made Greek foods. Roasted Lamb, done outside on a spit just like in my Big Fat Greek Wedding, except we do ours in the back yard in stead of on the front lawn like the movie! Our side dishes include: Pastitsio (Greek version of Lasagna made wi

In the beginning

Well, I started looking into the lap band proces about a month ago. I have gone to 2 free seminars at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak MI. I took my husband to the second one with me.

That is a fact. Can I lose it on my own (again) and keep it off? Most likely not. Do I need a tool to help me get the we
