To be banded 9/27!

[Flipper64 0]

Hello to All!

I've been doing some voracious LBT reading for the past few days and I'm cruising through the pre-op process rather quickly. I am a patient of Dr. Oh in Federal Way, WA, and I have a surgery date of Sept. 27 scheduled.

So far I've had no problems re: insurance, a topic I see gets a lot of discussion.

I live in Gig Harbor, WA, and I'm a working co-parent to three young boys. I've finally decided to DO SOMETHING about all this extra weight, and I guess now is the time! I don't want to be held back in participating with my boys as they grow up and do all those fun, active things...I gotta keep up! And, I'd love to live to see them all grow old as well.

Continued success to all of you amazing losers!:mad:

Thanks to you both for the welcome!

I'm excited to be here, anxiously awaiting my surgery, and wondering what

in the world I'm gonna feed my family when all I can have are liquids!

I see many nights of frozen dinners in their future...:hungry:
