I just began the process, so I thought this would be a good way to track my journey. I had my psychologist appointment today and it went exceptionally well. Now I have to wait for the report to be submitted and all the paperwork to go to the insurance company. The surgeon feels that I should be able to have the surgery by late Feb.. I am truly hoping this is true. I think it would be a great way to start the new year.
So I was banded on 1/29. SO far I am feeling great, much better than I anticipated. I am tolerating most of the foods on my list. I seriously need to find something to fill my time because being off of work is going to drive me crazy. I really have not thought much about food and I am not hungry. So far so good. It is a bit hard to explain to friends and family why you are not eating things they think you should eat but otherwise its ok. I am excited about the weight loss, which I got a lettle taste of from my pre-op diet. According to my surgeon everything went exceptionally well. Ofcourse I do have thoughts about the fill process but I am trying not to let my imagination run wild and just take things as they come.
