Getting My Band Next Thursday! :-)

[DanaAdams 59]

OK. So, I haven't been on here in a while because I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get my band. Let's see...I started the process back in May of 2012 and now it is October of 2012...So, as you can see I have gone a while being in limbo as to getting banded--not because of me, but because of my insurance. So! Now, I finally was approved for insurance, and we are on GO! I have been doing well on my two week pre-op diet, although I haven't lost a huge amount of weight from it. I think it is because I was previously doing calorie and portion counting and control in preparation for after surgery...but now, with the pre-op diet, I am doing a low carb diet as prescribed by my doctor. So, I am really eating more calories than I have done in many months. I am still loosing some but not at the rate I would normally do when doing low carb.

So, my surgery date is set for Thursday. It is an easy date to remember 10-11-12! I am asking you all pray for me as I go through this. I am on two different cholesterol meds, a heart med, and blood pressure meds. So, I am really excited and looking forward to this surgery and my new way of eating and my new life. But at the same time, I am nervous too.

Ok! Well, that is my story as of now! If you all want to check out my little Journey Blog you can!

I will be 6 days after you. Best of luck and may God's peace and protection cover you during your entire surgery and aftercare.

P.S. How were you able to lose all that weight before surgery. Nice job girl...I'm proud of you.
