52 pounds down and 94 to go

Well, my journey started many years ago. About 7or so years ago I was thinking about getting gastric bypass surgery (lapband was not really in the picture yet). Anyways I did all the procedures to have my insurance tell me they don't cover it. So, that was out the darn window I did weight watchers after that and lost 50lbs. I was feeling awesome. Well, Hurricane Katrina hit and the place where our weight watchers meetings were held become a shelter.So, no meetings for months. And the weight just started to come back on. I just gave up on that. In june 2010 I talked to a friend who had lapband surgery and she lost 140lbs in 13 months. I was blown away. She looked great and I was actually a lil jealous. Anyways she told me it was the best thing she ever did in her LIFE!! So, I talked to my parents becaue I knew my insurance wouldn't cover. They told me they would pay for it!!! I was estatic!!!!! I went to my first doctor appointment July 7, 2010. My surgery was scheduled for September 3, 2010. Since then I have lost many many inches and 52lbs. I went to the doctor today and he said I am right on track and doing great. I am starting to feel better about myself. I also feel better physically. My BMI went from 51 to 43 which is so important. My doctors and staff are amazing!!!!! You know as a kid and a young adult I was always told how pretty I was. And I am!!! But I didn't feel it. Now I am starting to feel it. This is the best decision I have ever made. I have my wonderful parents, doctors and his staff to thank. I make a doctor appointment ever 2 weeks just if its even to go and weigh in. Good luck to everyone who has had this done and who are on the path to getting it done. It is truly an amazin journey!!!
