My husband is a huge support system and will not let me stray. (not that I plan to )☺ I am so excited and so nervous to start this new adventure, and meet my new friend "the lap band" !! My tool, not my quick fix!! All your stories have been so inspiring to me, thank you all and I wish you/me all the success!! Happier Days are coming!!!! ttfn 2 Terry Poperszky and A New New Dawn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sapcat54 76 Posted January 28, 2013 The band is an answer to prayer for me also. last summer I was praying for guidance as to what program to use but all I would get Is"be still and Know that I am God" So I just waited to see what He was going to show me. Then in Aug. I had my regualr yearly physical and my DR. said she is going to referr be for WLS. With in a couple of days The hospital called and I went to the orintation and filled out all my forms. It seemed everything went so smoothly and my insurance cleared at first try. I was banded Jan7 and have lost 8 lbs plus the wieght I lost before surgery. May god bless your journey. 2 Booyah!! and buckeyegirl4 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
