So, I guess I'll make this date my official start date of my journey, even though I've been researching this for atleast 3 months...

I can't wait to have the band put in, I think it will help me so much. It's not so much losing the pounds I look forward to but that feeling of just feeling better and more healthier. Being able to wrestle around with my son and not feel give out or going outside to play with him and not feel miserable. I can't wait.

Oh, and not to mention a better sex life with my husband-to-be..

We met when I was 70 lbs lighter and our sex life was amazing and now it's drizzled down to almost nothing.

So, September 11th, I go back to my PCP and she's suppose to inform be whether or not my weight loss documentation has been accepted by the hospital where I'm having my surgery and I suppose then I'll set up a meeting with a surgeon and start doing all these exciting pretests I've read so much about. YAY! Even though I know they won't be fun, I'm thrilled just thinking about it.

Welcome to your journey! Keep sharing. I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress.
