I am scheduled for the Monday after Thanksgiving. Should be an interesting holiday since I am not sharing my surgery with my inlaws yet. I am a little nervous because i have a surgery date but I have not been approved by insurance yet. Not being submitted for approval until November 8th. Oh well I guess they know what they are doing. I have already lost 6 or the 12 pounds the doctor wants me to lose. They require you to lose 5% before surgey so I am halfway there and I still have a month.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with my fellow November bandsters

Great way to start the journey. The good news is that if you stay away from dessert, Thanksgiving food is not too bad on the weight. Watch your portion sizes and chew, chew, chew. It is good practice for the rest of your life post surgery. Best wishes to you. Keep us posted on your progress.
