What are you most looking forward to after banding?

There are so many things I'm looking forward to:

Finally losing the weight for good

Getting off my blood pressure meds

Getting off my C Pap machine

Having less pain in my knees

Being able to run and keep up with my kiddos

Not sweating so much

I'm so excited about this journey. When I went to my pre op appt yesterday I was a little nervous b/c well doctors make me nervous. But I left there feeling great. The staff is so nice and they are very, very excited for all their bariatric patients. They had nothing but good things to say and I just felt completely at ease. Even my surgeon spent a good amount of time with me answered all my questions completely and honestly and he has a great sense of humor. I hate stuffy doctors. I'd rather have someone that will laugh with me.

I'm so ready to go!!

I can't wait to be able to "drop it like it's hot" while dancing without fear or not being able to pick myself back up!!!!hahaha!!!

The thought came to me as I listened to "single ladies" by beyonce.
