August Roll Call

[MikieB 2]

I'm done! The two year journey to get banded was over Friday the third. Now I'm on the rest of the journey to a healthy me. I'm down 24 pounds from preop dieting. That leaves 70 to 80 pounds to go. I'm ready to get well into this segment of the journey.

This weekend has not been bad. I Stayed high most of the weekend from my Dr 's well prescribed loritab.

I have not told my parents or extended family about the surgery. I figure anouther 20 or 30 pounds they will start to ask. I don't have a supportive relationship with family. Or I should say extended family so its not like I lean on them much. That's what my bride is for anyway! She has been supportive and amazing throughout.

On the ney sayer front. A cousin who is an OR nurse called me Saturday to ask how I was doing and how he couldn't believe I had "THAT PROCEDURE " done. His wife is also an OR nurse and works at the hospital I had my surgery. After his 2 or 3 condescending remarks about lap band failure and maintenance required to be successful I decided to discuss the hippa law. I'm quite sure I made my point.

To the rest of the August bandsters, good luck and don't sweat it. So much more to say but the loritab is taking my thoughts and concentration.

Mike

My surgery is scheduled for 8/20 and I am so excited and can hardly wait. Ready to start my new healthy life

[slojo67 125]

I hope: ready4awesome, Caseyp, kwarnke, tiffahny, & sadiebrown have all the prayers for their upcoming surgeries tomorrow. Keep us in touch...

August 27th with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana -- just booked it!

[utcaneuser 32]

I've received my approval after denial appeal now the dr just need to submit my fmla paperwork. I'm scheduled for 8-13 1 week to go. I've been on my presurgery diet since July 19th no weight loss and definetly tired of it but I'm being good I have not broken. I think I'm more scared of the 2 week post-op diet Protein no carbs blended.
