I am getting the lap band - YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I saw Dr. Irgau today and he feels I am an excellent candidate for it at my wieght - 308.6 pounds and he thinks I will lose weight at a fairly good rate based on my dieting history and such, but there is no guarantee. I will be thrilled to just be losing. I don't need it to fall off me in 3 or 6 months. I have made my appointments and they are coming up soon, so hopefully I can get into the lifeskills class soon and then get my date. YAY! So happy. I feel hopeful about my life for the first time in a while. I just went through a devastatingly painful divorce and now I have much to look forward too. Excuse me while I do the happy Tracey

Congratulations to you Tracey! You are in excellant hands and will have a wonderful overall experience I'm sure. I love your enthusiasm, and your attitude will carry you far. Linda

Congratulations, Tracey. You'll will be so glad that you ever met those great, talented Drs. Good luck to you. Dianne

Hi Pink, Congrats. You are on your way. Try to stay positive and focused. There could be a few bumps on your journey. It helps to stay calm and come here for support and questions. Start keeping a journal. It is cool to look back and see how stressed & nervous we all get over this. After surgery time speeds up. The mind eraser drugs they give us help us forget all the crappy times before & after. Good Luck Tracey. ((HUGS)) Elissa
