sassy k's mommy

Well, I had attend the required seminar in August 2010. I am scheduled to meet with Dr. Mora on October 6, 2010, for my medical consultant. I already have the paperwork which is required to go ahead and speak to the nutritionsit. Thanks to the fact I work for Public Health I can use on of our registered dieticians. I am trying to plan for my preop diet. According to the paperwork I have we should start the preop diet when we see the doctor. Whats the best drinks to get?? slimfast???

Hey I am going to my seminar on August 30 2010. However, I am in Alabama.

I am schedule to attend the seminar on August 30. I recieved my packet from the doctor's office regarding the lap band procedure. I don't have to go through the crazy doctor or the six month weigh ins. I currently weight 278 with a BMI of 43. I don't have any major health problems except joint pain. However, I have a family history of diabetes, high chloesterol and heart disease. My brother was recently diagnosised with diabetes. So, its getting closer. My mom is on several medications blood pressure, Fluid pill, chloesterol, depression and sleeping medication. My father has a heart condition. My main reason for waiting the procedure is because I have a little girl who is means the world to me and I want to be here to see her grow. I want to do whatever necessary. I have tired several diets Weight Watcher, Atkins and calorie count without any success that lasted. I would lose the weight then gained it right back plus some. I want to have an active life with my child. I have been overweight my whole life and I am tired of it. I want to have energy. I guess what I am getting to is. I am praying that my insurance pays for my surgery except for my copays. does anyone know??

Thank you ..

Hello. I am a new prospect. I am currently looking into this procedure. I am schedule to attend the seminar to meet the doctor at the end of the month. I am really excited about my journey. I currently weight 278 pounds. I am 5ft 7inches give or take who measures you. My BMI is 43. I have been overweight my whole life since puberity. I have always been active. I was in JROTC, Civil Air Patrol. So, I can't say I was a couch potatoe.. but I am now.. I am a mother to a beautiful little girl who means the world to me. I want to be here for her. I want to do things with her without being too tired or not having the injury to do anything.. I want my life back.
