OMG I have been a bundle of nerves for the last month so many life changes happening at hte same time.. I cannot beleive i finally got the news this morning that i was approved for the lap band. i am 256 lbs and 5.2. I just got the uppere-ndoscop done last wed and was informed that i have H.PYLORI.. i called the surgeon b/c i am scheudled for surgery on 7/16/09 with Dr. Pomp and was unsure if having this dx would interfere with surgery. I was informed that it should not . So nervous about all the changes happening at the same time.. have to plan m sons 2nd bda which wil be 2 days before hte surgery, have th surgery on 7/16, and start grad school in sept- BTW i have two toddlers 2 & 3 years old.. I have to reind myself of this journey and why it was so impt for me to make these changes in my life at this time. BREATH... Nancy it will all fall into place.:thumbdown::thumbup:

I just got my approval, too. :thumbup: I don't have any dates yet but at least I know this will happen. The waiting is the hardest part. I just want to get going. Waiting for a date for initial consultation so I can start shakes.

Can't wait!
