I saw a news program that did a brain scan on people and how sugar effected some people and how it showed up in others... There are those of us out there that when we get a dose of sugar it acts like drugs to a heroin addict! People who don't have an addiction can never understand sweetie. Just like you can sympathize with a person who is addicted to alcohol, but you don't know their struggle unless you've been there. You do what is right for YOU!!! I am a firm believer in "Know your limitations!"

I waited a long time for my approval too. I have been denied several times through the years due to insurance company that my work chose didn't or wouldn't cover bariatric surgery. I found out in April that the company we have this year did cover it. SO I was in a mad rush to get all the testing and approval done before we changed insurance companies again in August. I submitted June 26, got approved July 18, had my first appointment with my Dr. on July 24 and had surgery August 1. So talk about a whirlwind. haha.. But I got my lap band and they can't take it back now!! I will pray for you. I know that I will be a little ahead of you, but maybe that's a good thing, I can warn you about any issues. hehee.. like the fact that I can't eat more then a dinky cup of jello at a time. lol.. I LOVE IT!!!!
