:unsure:I HAD MY SURGERY AFTER A LONG STRUGGLE WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS BANDED ON 8/13/08. THE FIRST FEW DAYS WERE DIFFICULT AND REALITY SET IN. I HAVE BEEN YO-YO DIETING FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND AT THIS POINT IT SEEMED IMPOSIBLE TO LOOSE ANY WEIGHT. I BEGAN CONSIDERING I WAS DESTINED TO BE FAT. WELL MY ENERGY AND HEALTH CONCERNS BECAME AN ISSUE. A CO-WORKER SUGGESTED THE BAND AND MY I BEGAN MY QUEST. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOT EXACTALY EASY TO DEAL WITH. I WAS IN SHOCK WHEN I WAS FINALLY APPROVED AND I GOT MY DATE. I STARTED AT 229. MY GOAL IS 150. I HAVE NEVER BEFORE MET MY GOAL. AND I STILL FEEL LIKE ITS JUST A DREAM.
