I am excited to be on this website. I am awaiting banding by Dr. Spivak. I am hoping for the second week in June. I've been researching and contemplating this surgery for over a year and now that the decision is made, I can't wait. Reading the postings here have answered so many questions that I hadn't even thought of. Thanks to you all. The before and after photos are so inspriing.

Another entry so soon? I plan to start the Atkins diet tomorrow. Looks like so many people lose weight before their surgery. I guess shrinking my liver is a good thing. I never knew my liver got heavier, etc. I am so ready for this. I am anxious about the insurance. Even though I planned on being self pay, when they told me my insurance would cover it I was very excited. I'd hate to have to pay it all now and David would not be happy. I won't let anything stop me..........not money, not anything.

Well I think it will be a good idea to document some of the events and feelings somewhere, so why not here. I am awaiting the ok from my insurance and gathering medical information. I am very anxious and excited. I hope I have a good outlook and will be very successful. I am probably expecting it to be easier than it really will be but I want this weight gone so badly I think I will do whatever it takes. I have given up on dieting completely so I will have to get my mind re-set. Later.
