We are on our way to being healthy.....

Hubby & I had our initial consult with the surgeon today. Dr. Ceppa said we are both good candidates for the lap band. My BMI is 38 & I have hypertension. He also wants me to have a sleep study. Hubby's BMI is 40. He has hypertension & sleep apnea. Dr. Ceppa warned me that my hubby will lose ALOT faster than me. He said the weight will melt off hubby once his calories are restricted. I on the other hand, will have to work a little harder...Oh Well, story of my life! We meet with the nutritionist on the 21st for our initial appt. Our insurance requires a 6 month diet program. Let the fun begin!
