I am sooo excited! First, I have lost 10 pounds since being on the Atkins diet. Go me! I am now down to 209. I had my surgeon appointment and my medical clearance appointment this week. Surgeon appointment was a breeze. I chose to go with the Lap Band brand, we discussed where the port will go and what to expect day of and day after surgery. Then the next day i met with the clearance doctor. We went over all my test results, she felt my abdomen, checked my breathing then said, "let's get you a date! You are ready!". I couldn't believe it. I followed her to the insurance woman and she looked over my file, suggested a date and said she would call me tomorrow for my next appointments.

So, I am scheduled for March 29th! Can't believe its just around the corner. Makes everything soooo real. I have to do all my last minute shopping for food and supplies and also do the Easter shopping for my little munchkins this week! I am just so relieved to have an end date and a new beginning in sight.

I am ready!

Hi all, I just started my process with my application. Can I ask why each of you picked the bands you did, I see two differant bands and wonder what made each of you make your choice.
