achiever2012

I decided to be banded in January 2011 and started the insurance process. I was banded August 10, 2011. I was more than ready and it could not come soon enough. My surgeon had offered to do the Plication along with my band he said he was seeing 20% more weight loss with it. All I was wanting was to lose it so i was all for it. I love everything about my band and my journey. I started at 318 and went in this week for my 6 month fill and i was at 238. I was so excited to hit 80lbs. I am ready to party when i hit 100 and then when i get to 200lbs... watch out! i will definatley be celebrating. I have a ways to go but i know i will get there. I am not stoping until I do. I tell everyone about my band. I really thought getting surgery would be the "easy" way out. wow was i wrong. its just as hard at times, BUT its the BEST thing I have ever done!

APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got my phone call this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. I'm looking at a December 16th surgery date. WOW! things to be thankful for today!!!
