This is my begining. I have pretty much done everything I need to for my lap band.
1. I have my sweetheart on board(he loves me better than I love myself)
2. I have analysed the money needed and the time off work, I know I can do this(for the record Im a self pay and make 28k a year, the money is from my IRA)
3.I read up on this proceedure.I checked info from places other than lap band doctors.
4.I checked out my doctor,how many surgeries,and the hospital(by the way is your doctor going to be the one to actually do it or his assistant)
5.I thought about this surgery for a long time. Was it worth the cost? Did it usually work? Could I follow the regiment necessary to suceed?(The juries still out on that). Was there alot of complications that would be more dangerous than the weight?
6.Bought all the vitamins and protein drinks needed.so I'd feel ready.
7.I started taking the vitamins and replacing breakfast with the protein.
8.I'm walking 30min a day,5 days a week.
9.I'm trying to lose some weight.
10.I need to think more about what I will do after surgery.
11.Am writing this journel to help me think about this whole thing.After reading this. I feel that Ive done my homework and am ready.
