happy dance

 Today is my birthday! And today I went to see my Dr and she drops some very good news.  I got approved for lap band!  That is the best birthday news!  I am jumping for joy.  I have waited for so long to have wls and now it's happening.  I will keep you all informed. 

Congratulations! You will be joining us on the losers bench soon.
 
One of the best things you can do now is to learn all you can about living with the band and to be sure your experctations are within reason for each step of the way. Oh, well, and start losing now, it makes the whole thing easier as does exercise.

Congratulations! I agree start giving up one bad thing you eat each week, like soda, chips, ice cream. If you can lighten up on the carbs now, it will make it easier. Not saying don't ever have ice cream, I have a "bite" every once in a while and it is very satisfying.

Good luck and keep us posted.
