FrancoPitt 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Well. my insurance has approved my surgery and I spoke to the surgery scheduler and my surgery is scheduled for September 1, 2011. I have been working really hard these pas 7 weeks diet and exercising and I have to say it is paying off. I started out at 297 and I am down to 268 and I have been taking spinning 3 days a week, yoga once a week and really controlling my diet. I will have to do the liquid diet the week prior to my surgery so I have been having two days a week drinking my Protein Shakes so that I will know what it is like not to have solid foods for a while. A little nervous, but also excited. I am hoping that with all of the success that I have had in the past 7 weeks will continue until my surgery date as well as after so that I can use the band strictly as a tool and not have to go through the filling stage of being banned. Look forward to the journey with my fellow banders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
