March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD

[potatie 5]

Hi Thin2bme, My DH is also starting the journey for lap band. He is going for his consult on 03/09/09. He has had his nutrician assessment and is going for the behavioral assessment tomorrow. So I am hoping for a fast approval for him. He has already been in contact with our insurance approval lady with Anthem BCBS. She seems to be extra supportive since I had gone through the procedure and am having great success. I am glad my DH is excited. I think that will help to keep him motivated.

Great news for your DH's!

I saw my MD for my annual check-up today, and told him how grateful I was that he'd recommended the lap band. I'm down 102 pounds, much more energy, feel better about myself, knee pain is minimal, and my blood pressure (which was, amazingly enough, never really high, although had been edging upwards) was down to 110/78.

And I started with a personal trainer today. She's great, I think. She's a former body builder, and a complete gym rat, but super nice and accessible. She's expensive, so I don't know how often I'll be able to see her, but I'm going to start with her and see how that goes. Between her and my shrink, I'm going bust rapidly.

But getting healthier!

How exciting, Jonathan....the trainer can give you the basics and then even if you can't keep going to her, you can keep doing the program~!

I'm almost afraid to say it outl oud, but I really feel like I'm "in the groove" now....I feel super good restriction, I haven't had a single PB....I'm losing and feeling motivated to exercise....WOW....

I will always be bigger on top than on bottom. I have big boobs. I am in a 16 (loose, could probably go to a 14) bottom and a 18 top.

Well one of my goals was for my boobs to be bigger than my belly and so far its not happening. I think I'll have to buy padded bras.

LOL Rhonda! Everthing just hangs so much lower now. My belly hangs, my boobs hang, maybe in a couple of years I'll have a few things lifted.

I have been eating like a pig the past week and I know I gained a few pounds . I've been depressed and when I'm depressed I eat . Today it hit me as to why I've been so down . Today I am 50 years old . I knew something was off with me . I really didn't think it was going to bother me , the big five O , but I guess it was and still is . I just have to get a grip and try to remember that I'm healthier now than I have been in the last 20 years . I think I go back to bed and mourn for awhile and get over it . My family is taking me out to dinner tonight .
