Journaling my experience with the Lap Band

Entries in this blog

 

Beginning of the waiting for phone calls

I am super new in the lap band process.   So far I have: Attended a mandatory information class Contacted insurance company/filled out questionaire (looks like there shouldn't be roadblocks with it...fingers crossed) Filled out "history" sheet Met with Primary Care and had him fill out referral sheet Faxed referral sheet to the Program which was required to get an orientation date Waited for phone call....waited...waited...tap tap tap Today at 5:30pm I got the call. Orientation is next Monday. I totally get this will likely be one of many calls I will have to wait for but it is still a step forward. I'm so ready to get this ball rolling.   Until Next Post, Buggie

Fairy godmother.....no thanks

I have been following many of your posts for some time and find the majority of everyone's words encouraging; even when some of you blog about your not-so-great-days it is encouraging. I'm not looking for a fairy tale-I want real life experience. I feel like I have been living a fairy tale for too long. Sticking my head in the sand by telling myself it doesn't matter whether or not I am a "normal" size. All I have to do is prove to everyone I am worthy by going the extra mile, always being the girl that people want to talk to, always being nice when maybe the recipient doesn't deserve nice and of course being the fun girl. For some reason FAT = FUNNY! ? Maybe losing weight won't change any of this BUT it would be crazy awesome to be on the other side and know these qualities are just my personality and not a forced trait to help me cope with being overweight.   So here I am documenting my journey to becoming a healthier, thinner me. My goal is to have created my own happy ending by the end of the story and have peace of mind knowing that at midnight I won't turn back into a pumpkin!   Until Next Post, Buggie
