I had my lap band removed 5 weeks ago and at my post op visit I was told I needed to lose 50 pounds before my doctor would do my surgery. Well I weighed in on Friday and I am down 30 pounds in 4 weeks. The nutritionist was so happy with my results that she told the doctor that I am ready for surgery. I will hopefully find out on Monday or Tuesday my surgery date.

OMG!!!

I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago! Good news! Told you November would be your month

Thanks! I haven't been on much, as these last two weeks have been crazy. My husband and I are geeting a divorce mainly because he is making me choose between him and my son (not his son). On top of that he does not support me in my decision to have surgery. Enough about that though!

I am super excited. I can wait to hear from the doctor. I will probably call Monday afternoon if I don't hear before then.
