The Journey has officially begun!

Super excited today. I had my first appointment with my doc today. He said since I had great insurance that usually approves everyone, I don't need to do a 3 month supervised diet as long as I can loose 20 lbs asap. I'm super stoked. I want this Lapband gone. It has been a horrible experience and I'm so ready to start living life again. He said my best option would be gastric bypass. I simply cannot wait. I hope everything goes well. Healthy eating and strict diet start asap. It will be hard to cut out sweets but I know I can do it. I have the best motivation of all.

Thank you so much. I know most people aren't happy and excited to go to the doctor but I was. I couldn't even sleep last night. A little weird i know but I just can't wait to have this darn thing taken out and have the revision done. Counting down the days till my next visit. 12 days.....lets get it! Hehe :-)

You can do this!!! I have heard awful things about the band...so sorry you had to experience that! My surgeon does not even do the band anymore...he said you don't lose the weight like the bypass or sleeve! I hope all goes well and you just keep focused to shed those 20 lbs and get scheduled for your life changing surgery!!!

Thank you. I'm really going to try my hardest to loose the weight asap. Cutting the sugar is gonna be the hardest. But it's all for the best.
