Can't wait for my Xmas present!! My lap band

[skybluestar64 0]

So im 30, Im out of the military now after 11 crazy years, and im finally going back to school.

Im going to be a cradiac ultrasound tech. And now i am able to have the lapband surgery

, in the military they are not allowed to get banded, so I had to wait till my insurance picked up.

Meanwhile I had a horrible experience with prednisone, has any one else?? And packed on some

serious poundage!! And then i waited some more.... to make sure it was really what i wanted... about a year..

Now with in a week I've been cleared for surgery from half the people on the list and

have a date, DEC 27th!! Im also am a disabled vet, yeah at 30 years old that seems crazy right??

But im not letting my disabilites get the best of me, unlike some of my "battle buddies" who opted

for social security, and now are completely retired. I honestly wouldl go crazy if I didn't have to

leave the house everyday. And like my doctor said you have way tooo much wrong with you for 30 years old, I totally agree

with him and now Im really excited about the lap band, I think it's the tool i've been missing

all these years!! I've been watching tons of viedos on Lapbands on youtube, and Im signed up

for the belly button procedure. no visible scars, yeay!! Im super lucky because that one usuallly

cost and the gap isn't usually paid by the insurance because it's cosmetic, but here's the good

part since im a veteran my doc is goint to do the upgrade for free, wich totally rocks. If you

know any college students you know money is allways short!! Put it will pay off in the long term

when i have an awesome job working for a cardiologist!! How many people get to say they look

at hearts all day?? My goal is to lose the weight by the time I graduate from school. Oh also

on the upside my husband got banded last june so I kinda know what to expect. And he's lost

about 60 lbs so far!! Man I can't wait to say I lost 60lbs!! Meanwhile im trying to get in some

sort of shape before the surgery doc told me surgery is easier to recover from when your at least

a little in shape.... Im going to start doing.. okay don't laugh... Water aerobics!! Ha ha im sure

it will be nothing but old ladys and old men... when ever I got to the hot tub at the gym the older

population tends to congergate there. Well neways that's me.. TTFN!!
