The Journey has officially begun!

Super excited today. I had my first appointment with my doc today. He said since I had great insurance that usually approves everyone, I don't need to do a 3 month supervised diet as long as I can loose 20 lbs asap. I'm super stoked. I want this Lapband gone. It has been a horrible experience and I'm so ready to start living life again. He said my best option would be gastric bypass. I simply cannot wait. I hope everything goes well. Healthy eating and strict diet start asap. It will be hard to cut out sweets but I know I can do it. I have the best motivation of all.

A little weird i know but I just can't wait to have this darn thing taken out and have the revision done. Counting down the days till my next visit. 12 days.....lets get it! Hehe :-)

    Thank you. I'm really going to try my hardest to loose the weight asap. Cutting the sugar is gonna be the hardest. But it's all for the best.
