so heres my first pre band blog

Okay I am 33 yo 5'4 and 238 lbs.. I havent even gotten my surgery date but thursday is my nutritin/psych consult which is the las thing left on my LOOOOONG list of things to do. I am excited and nervous at the same time. What to expect and how i will react to the consults. i am really weird about opening up to people. but i am willing to go out of my comfort zone on this one! I am hoping to get approved quickly. I would hate the suspense of waiting! My biggest issue i think is going to be night time eating. I am really bad with this. I know most of it is emotianl eating. I do have alot of stress right now, between $ and the kids and my DH's eyes and just the fear of our future. I think i am keeping myself fat for a reason. Probably to use it as an excuse of why i cant do things or whatever. i want to go back to school yet the telephone #'s are sitting here on my computer desk and i havent even made teh call. its kinda sad. i am a mom of 4 GREAT girls and i am setting a crappy example for them. I hope with this tool and lots of work i can make a huge change in my life not just in my pants size!

hello im also waiting for my approval and Im soooooo excited and nervous at the same time. I understand how u feel because at night my appetite is out of control I cant seem to get full and its a mess. Yes I am a mother of two and I cant wait to start this new journey... when was your claim submitted mine was submitted on the 28th of october and hopefully I can have my surgery in december if nt the 1st of jan ..... I keep praying that everything moves along quickly my patience is shot.

WELCOME to LBT! If you go through this being aware you can't help but to change your mind as well...and what's better for your self-esteem than feeling better about yourself and your weight! Good luck! -BG
