Hello!

I am new here but I have been reading some of the threads.

I am a 37 year old mother of three-twin daughters that are 14 and a 6 year old little boy..two of my kids have autism.

I am on my way to getting approval from my insurance for the lap band.

I have been told to start the pre-op diet to loose the "liver fat".

I am excited and nervous at the same time to begin this life change!

Dr.Avery in Mississippi will be doing my band--anyone use him?

Hey Cindy,

I was wondering how everything was going.

16.2 lbs is GREAT!! I can't wait until I am on "the other side".lol:wink2:

Are you still walking?

Renita

Hey ladies, I am so happy for both of you. Today is my one month banding anniversary. I have lost 16.2 lbs since being banded and I can tell I have lost inches, I just haven't measured yet. I will be getting my first fill in a couple of weeks and I can't wait.

Thanks Renita! I am very pleased. I am still walking, I have missed a few days since going back to work but I am averaging 4 days a week. I am on the way out the door now to the walking track at the gym. I am going to wait one more week then add my Sweat'n to the Oldies. I think I will walk one day and do my video on the days I can't walk. Keep up the good work with your pre-op diet you are doing great. I only lost 5.5 lbs on my two week pre-op. You are doing great and your banding date will be here before you know it. :biggrin:
