    I am officially banded

    You made it. No more waiting for the surgery, it is over. I still have mine ahead of me. I had times of heartburn back in early spring because of allergies and mucus in my stomach. Well they need to do a check of my esophagus stomach and small intestine, the gastro doctor said because I was over 50 I needed a colonoscopy too. Well Monday I get both and tomorrow it is all clear fluids. After this, the lapband may just be easy. I am not looking forward to this but will be glad when it is over. Prep for this is awful. I will be living in my bathroom tomorrow. I know it will all be worth it but just hate the prep part. Take it easy on yourself this next week. You did it and it is all going to be worth it. I was thinking about you yesterday. Glad to see your post today. Any requests for songs as tomorrow I will be a farting princess and I am going to be noisy. I won't be able to do the flight of the bumble bee but once I get to the procedure on Monday, I just might be able to. They even pump air into you to make room for the camera so add insult to injury. I told my husband no laughing or I will get revenge when he goes to sleep. Take care of you.

    Hey Tesa, did I give you good or bad chills? I was just typing and surprised how much I said. I don't usually let my thoughts out. Maybe now it is time. I am excited for you. It was late last night when I posted that and my brain was just going and going.

    I have just started my journey with the lap band. I still have more boxes to check off before my surgery is scheduled. I have dieted my way up to over 300 pounds and the real me is under all of this. I too do not want to tell my family and will need this support system. My husband is really great. He has gone with me to several appointments now. We have talked extensively that this is only a tool and that is not the cure. I have been in this cocoon long enough. It is time for the butterfly to come out. My children are all adults and on their own with families of their own. I figure no more guilt for putting me first. I am mowing all the weeds down in my brain that have held me back or been in my way and making compost so that my new garden can grow and flourish and the butterflies will come. Sounds corny I know but I have to believe it is now my turn and I am so worth it. We can do this because we are worth it. Good luck to you and wish me luck on this journey.
