Explanation of my name and Introduction

Well I thought I would start my blog with an explanation of my log in name.

My wife and I are huge Stargate SG1 fans. When I was researching the lapband I started to refer to it as a symbiote. Like a Jaffa has, and it kind of became a running joke.

I have been reading on this site for about a month and have just scheduled my surgery date of Jan 14th at the WLS in Kansas City.

I am self-pay so it was important for me to get someone who had a price that included the first year fills and was convenient. They have a filling station for patients in Des Moines.

I have been buying some protein supplements and such to find out what I like and don't like. I will be on a presurgery diet starting the first of the year. But I have actually started watching what I'm eating now.

Here are the things I like so far. Low carb milk chocolate slim fast. Unjury strawberry and chicken soup. I bought some other stuff but can't remember the names yet. I will post later.
