Ok so here goes..

I don't expect this to be a "must read" blog. I do however like the idea of having a place to vent, share and reflect.

So surgery is finally going to happen, August 12th 2008.

I am from Alberta, Canada but am making my way down to Colorado to have the surgery with Dr.Kirshenbaum.

In Alberta Lapband surgery is covered but so few are performed, and after two years of trying to be one of those chosen I have decided on the self pay option, which is not available here at the moment.
