Stepping Forward

[Fed_Cop 0]

Hello Everyone!

I have finally decided to get my life back on track. I spoke to my doctor last Thursday about weight loss surgery and to my amazement she agreed it would be a good thing for me.

I am scheduled to attend an informational session on the 17th. I am truly looking forward to it. By the grace of God I have United Health Care and it will pay for my surgery. I am sure I will feel so much better once I lose some of this 223 lbs off of this 4ft 11 body. (smile)

I received my package today and boy do they ask a lot of questions. Well, since this will be one of my favorite sites, I wanted to stop in and introduce myself.

Isn't this a great site? I remember when I found it and sighed with relief that there are so many wonderful people willing to share their stories. I hope you find your answers and friends as easily as I have.

Hi Fed Cop:

Welcome. Feel free to ask questions. I've been banded for 7 months and have been doing great!

I love my band!

Thank you so much for the welcome! Yes, this really is an excellent site because you're getting information from those that have experience what you're about to go through. Did you take 2 weeks off from work?

Hi and welcome to LBT! We are definitely glad that you found us.

I was laid off from my job 2 weeks prior to my surgery. But, had I not been, I believe one week off of work would have been plenty. It all depends on the person.

Let us know if you have any questions, and keep us posted on how things are going.

I took two weeks off from work but I combined my surgery with a two-week by the pool vacation. I could have returned to work after a few days, but it wouldn't have been as much fun!
