Hello All,
Tomorrow, it will be official. I will be part of the world of Lap Banders. This has been a year long journey, mostly on my part. I got my approval in May, but I kept delaying my pre op visit. So, now I'm finally doing it..WOW! If someone would have told me, some years back, that I would be having an elective surgery. I would have told them..LIES! I don't do doctors like that. Where I would volunteer to go to one. NOT! I've always been good at dieting and losing weight. But, I was much better at gaining most of it back...lol.. Guess, you can say I'm tired of the yo yo dieting. So, here I am. I think I'm past that stage of being terrified, my fears have now turn into excitement. Along with my daily prayers, this site has been such a good "calm me down tool". OMG! Yesterday, I was a mess. It seem like when the Nurse called to give me my surgery time. I went into this panic mode. I cried something serious. :biggrin: I'm okay now. :smile: God has worked it out. I'm looking forward to making new friends. Toodles Ladies and Gents :eek:
