March 31 for band surgery

[bellababyrn 1]

My name is Bella and I am to have my band placed March 31st. I have Anth BCBS and was approved after just two weeks and two days....how shocked was I? I expected to wait at least 4 weeks and then to be turned down. My BMI is 44 but I have no co morbidities. I have tried numerous programs, diets, jonied a few different gyms and even tho I have lost wieght eventually I gain it back. I believe the band is the tool I need to help me to lose the weight and keep it off. I am a foodie....I have the mind set that I dont have to give that up, I just have to control it. There are foods I may never be able to eat again, but I am not looking at it that way. I see it as gaining the ablity to get around better, have my hair grow back, greatly decrease my risk of health problems, and in the future be able to run and maybe even a baby one day.

I am ready for this and cant wait to show the world what I can do with the right tool.....
