...and my surgery is coming up on September the 21st. I ended up not having to do the stress test (required for patients over 50) because I had a heart cath last year and my cardiologist approved me for the surgery. This was my last hurtle and surgery is next PROVIDING all of the tests come back OK. They did tell me that my white blood cells were a little elevated and I have a visit with my PCP on Monday, I suspect that I have a slight sinus infection and a few antibiotics will take care of it.

  I have been working of this for a year and now as the time draws near I am getting excited!

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
