Good Evening All!

I'm very very excited in started my new weight loss journey. For so long was in denial of having a weight problem, but after hitting the 330lb mark and having my family of 5 to worry about.....I know that lap-band would be best for me. January 24, 2011 was the first meeting with my Doctor( Dr. Strom) and Feb 1, 2011 is my1of3 nutritionist meetings. I will keep you all posted!!

I had my surgery yesterday. I feel great today and have very little pain; however, I am finding it a little difficult to find something satisfying even though I am not hungry I feel like i should be eating something.,

Isn't it ironic how we can lie to ourselves about our weight? I used to tell myself that I was big boned and had a lot of muscle, lol. I refused to go to larger pants for a long time and when I finally did I quickly grew into those also. Hmmm...I wonder if it's like fish in an aquarium? I wish you much luck and success. I'm a bit behind you in the process, but hoping things go smoothly and quickly. I think the info and experiences of members on here will be invaluable in helping us navigate through this process whilst avoiding the pitfalls!

Thats great! What type of pain and where do you feel it, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm just glad that we realized it and now we are making the most important changes in our life. Do you have a surgeon yet?

Yay! Very cool. I have to stay in network so, I know that it will be one of two. Tomorrow will officially start the ball rolling for getting pre-authorization from the insurance company. I'm at the VERY beginning. I typed a novel on this board about where I'm at with it, lol.
