I've struggled with my weight for a number of years.  I heard about lap-band a while ago, did some research and found out it wasn't covered in Manitoba.  I thought it was pretty much out of the question.  My mom worked with someone who lost a lot of weight and my mom learned about lap-band from her and suggested to me that I look into it.  She mentioned it a couple of times to me and I didn't really say much knowing I would never have that kind of extra money hanging around.  She then got pretty serious about it and offered to pay for it for me.  I figured I would just inquire.  She came with me to the information session.  I researched and did a lot of thinking for a couple of months.  And with money out of the equation, I pretty much knew I had to do it.  It's time for a life long change.  My surgery date is September 27th, 2011.  I'm on day 2 of my 2 week pre-op diet.  Also I'm extremely nervous!
