neverwillhavealapband

Yay you.... I haven't been banded yet but reading your success makes me feel sooooo much better. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing with us.

I love the choppy look on the back, and there is so much you can do with it. You could flip it up with a straightener or put tiny spirals on the sides. I think it looks really great on you. It really shows your beautiful face.

Doc took my blood, 4 large viles. Going to check my thyroid, sugar, etc. Also, have to go for a sleep apnea test soon. Waiting on the call. My sugar has been running high the last couple of days. Checked it about 15 minutes ago and it was 193. Down 1 point from about 5:30 PM this evening. Seems like it runs normal when I fast in the morning, but then after I eat it spikes. Then it stays up during the day and night. Odd.... After I have my apnea test I have to contact my insurance company to see if they'll pay for my visit to the Lapband Doc. Figure I'll have a better chance at them saying yes if I have sleep apnea. Not that I want sleep apnea with all do respect. Nor do I want diabetes. Will update when I have more info.

:tongue2:I read this and laughed all over myself. Booger fest, I love it. And, I have to totally agree with you, don't tell me horror stories, of he said she said, and I know this girl that...blah blah blah.... I don't want to hear that crap either. :thumbup: Good luck with your surgery, you'll be just fine and sounds like you are taking very good care of yourself (and your family) -- booger fest, that is great, haha, so keep up the good work and Thanksgiving will be here before you know it.

I've never thought of it that way. I am always worried to put myself first, afraid of making someone else think bad of me. BUT...you are absolutely correct, we deserve to be a little selfish when it comes to loving ourselves, because nobody can love us as we love ourselves. I like that! And I don't feel right now that I love myself. So I'm going to try and be a little easier on my expectation of me and try to tell myself it's okay to not look perfect. I think that when I start loving me, I'll start to see more beauty on the in and outside. Thanks for the inspiration....

:thumbup:appointment went well today. have to have a sleep apnea test and blood work done before I go see the surgeon for a consultation. happy that my doc thinks the LAP-BAND® is a good fit for me and assures me it's a safe and practical procedure.
