I have jumped though all the hoops.... did all the tests.... seen all the doctors... waited impatiently for insurance and I now I finally have a date! I am getting banded on December 3rd 2008. I am very excited and super scared. By the time of my surgery I will have been on the preop diet for 2 weeks. I am trying really hard and when I am working I do fine. But the weekends when I am off its horrible. I want to eat every thing in a 10 mile radius. Anyway, I am hanging on trying to be strong. I am just ready and I wanted to share my good news....

Congratulations!!!!
