Surgical Consult Today!

[winkie80 147]

Hello Everyone!

Today is my surgical consult! I attended a seminar with my wonderful husband on November 24th. We both realized that day that surgery was the best choice for me. My insurance requires a 3 month post op diet and if I am approved will cover 80%. I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am 5'8 and at one point 10 years ago I was able to make it to 175 on my own. It has slowly edged up to over 300 in spite of all of the diet plans I have tried. I have done Jenny Craig, Atkins, Low Calorie, South Beach, appetite suppressants and weight watchers too many times to count!! Each one would give me success only for me to gain in back and then some!

My breaking point was being diagnosed with high blood pressure and for over a year not being able to conceive. My doctor attributes my infertility issues with my weight. This is why I have chosen lap band. I need to be healthy so that I am here to push my husbands wheel chair in our old age. My greatest wish is to be a mother one day and I need to be healthy in order to achieve this dream.

I found this site during my lap band research and it has been a fantastic source of inspiration and questions which I will need to discuss with my surgeon.

I cannot wait to start this journey!

Happy Friday
