Oh its so worth all the appts and test...

I was just talking with my sister about how far this all seemed a yr ago to me.

I went for my yearly phyical appt and the doctor mentioned that there is a nutrintion

Dr at the local hospital now and how she does lap band counceling.....well he made the appt for me...that was in april of 2011 the appt wasnt till aug 5th so for 4 months I thought about wow...am i to far gone.... am I to old.... do I have the will power to do it again ( loose weight)..... do I have time for myself to do it....well the 5th came and I went with my sister by my side to see Dr Vergina Whey and honestly I have never looked back once since that day...well maybe the day of surgery when all I could think about was ooooo the gas pains i have read abut...I didnt have to much pain with them after all....

I am only 11 days banded but for the first time in my life I have done something for just me !!! in a sence but in reallity I did this for my husband and all my children....I have 2 grown and 5 adopted children ranging from 35 to 7 .....I can honestly say I have never felt as good as I do right now ....Good Luck..You can do this !!!!
