Well I had my surgery on Dec.7th,2009 I spent one night in the hospital. I had lost 15lbs on my 4 week pre-surgery diet. So since I started that on November 9th until now I have lost 39.5 lbs, two dress sizes and I feel GREAT!! I have not had a fill yet, but I go back to see the doctor on Feb. 9th,2010. I hope that everyone is doing well.
Well it is the end of my third week of liquid diet and it hasn't been all that bad even today and it was Thanksgiving. My kids were so sweet they are 19 and 15 they didn't want to have Thanksgiving at my mom's because they didn't want me to have to cook. I told them that I would be find and I would just drink my shake, because next Thanksgiving I would be able to eat and I may be smaller. You know it was not that bad. :cool2:
It has taken 11months to get approved by my insurance company. I have waited and waited it seems like forever. The last time I was told I had been diened I just cried. On November 2nd I lost my aunt Joanne to a complication of surgery she was a very sick lady but she never complained about anything. The very next day I got the phone call that I had been approve for my LAP-BAND® surgery and I just cried. I just want to be in better health for my family and friends but most of all for me. I will need everyone's help. I will try to write something each day. I start my liquid diet on Monday. :smile2:
