My "Team" Experience....

First of all, I awoke last night with a full blown panic attack about this LB! I had dreams of going to "gatherings" with my sister Jane, and came to find out we were the "guests of honor." Everyone there had been banded and wanted to sing the praises of banding to us... It was ok until we wanted to leave.... and they wouldn't let us! It was a big struggle...   I ended up staying home from work all day -- just too worn out from my night!   I went to my 4-hour Team appt. Two others show

So Long Soda!

Today is my first soda-free day...   My plan of attack is this:   Month One: cut out all soda Month Two: cut out all candy Month Three: cut out soft mushy breads ------- and then I'll see where to go next!

Can I do this?

I received a packet from the WMT* yesterday... my 4-hour appt. is coming up on Aug 7... this just explained where to go and reminded me to do my food journal for 3 days... Got that started... : )   Every meal I have now, I think about how it is going to change...

It'll take about a week for the results - she'll call me and also mail a hard copy. When Gil (asst) gets back tomorrow, they will schedule me for a 4 hour appt. at Dean East... I'll meet with the nutritionist, surgeon, and psychiatrist... wow

Knowledge is Power!

I have learned SO MUCH here, it is amazing. I just finished watching both surgery videos and have read thousands of posts (well, maybe only one thousand... or two)...   now I know what my innards will look like, how the band is stitched into place... how the port is fastened down and accessed... why to diet before the surgery (liver size)... why to take it easy for six weeks after surgery, before the first fill... what makes me feel full and what is going to make me fail...   I went to Amaz

Beginning 7/14/07

I love this website... There is more here than imaginable - and I'm discovering new things each day!   I am meeting with Theresa Lenghan (Dean Clinic's Weight Managment team) on Tuesday for my "in-take" appointment. I had to fill out a 17 page questionairre and take a quick survey to see where I sit "emotionally," I think... I'll know more on Tuesday!   What made me decide this is the path for me? Well - a couple of things... mainly the scare I had mid-June with the pain down my right le
