Let's Get This Party Started

So excited about life right now and all the joys my future has to offer! I contribute this happiness mostly to my decision to have lap band surgery.

 

I'm not naive enough to think this is an easy solution to my weight problem but I am hopeful enough to think of it as one BIG step to being the person I was meant to be. I have been on this site pretty much nonstop for a couple of months now and have learned so much. Everyone is so helpful and understanding. We're like one great big happy lap band family. :DAnd everyone knows its a glorious thing when family comes together.

 

If everything goes well and Cigna approves me, it looks like I'll be an August bandster! can't wait to be in pain, can't wait to be in gas hell, can't wait to hate protien shakes, can't wait to exercise without pain, can't wait to not think about food all day, can't wait to get this party started!

    I am excited for you!! Very best of luck. I had surgery on July 16 and am down about 10 lbs. I'm just starting to feel better and was able to go to the store alone today and just walk around. It was great. I think you'll do great. I think you're well on your way to being who you were meant to be! All the best.

    I too just got banded on Fri July 20. I feel awful but I know it is only short term. I thought I would never get thru the first day. My problem is getting good sleep at night. I can't lay down for very long and my recliner isnt the most comfortable place either. So just hoping I feel better soon.
