I had my consult with the surgeon yesterday. It was not what I had hoped for. He sat down with a notebook and drew a picture of the stomach, liver, etc.. Than drew a picture of a gastric bypass and told me that would be better for me than the LAP-BAND®. OMG!! He said it was because of the dietbetic things. I only have insulin resistence and am not even required to check my blood sugar ever day much less taking insulin for it. I can get a handle on doing the LAP-BAND®, but I would rather die quick...

Maybe I'm just getting very nervous but I didn't sleep much last night. I have my first appointment with the surgeon this afternoon and don't know what to expect. I have heard some people say good things things about this guy but the internet says something totally different. I am hoping to get a good feeling from him because I would like to stay local if I can, If not I do know a good place that is only 2 hours away. 2 hours isn't that far unless gas keep going on it's upward track. Ok I guess...

Ok I had my seminar just to make sure I could check that block off. I found out that since I have been reading a few books and then on this web site so much that I already had heard most of what they had to say. The only thing new this morning was actually being able to hold a LAP-BAND® in my hands. it was nice to be able to let my girls hold it also. They did ask a few questions once they doctor was finished talking to everyone. I'm not sure if hubby learned much or not, but at least he was...

I am so upset today. Hubby said he was going to help me and support me if I do the LAP-BAND®. I mentioned that I would like to start looking for an elipitcal exercise machine, maybe even a used one so that I could put it in the kitchen. He looked at me and said NO just go to the gym they have a great one on base. Ok if I was 135 pounds lighter (that would make me 140) and didn't have 2 9 year old girls to take care of that might work. I hate going to the gym and trying to do the machines next...

I am so computer challenged. It took me over 3 hours to figure out how to get the ticker to show up in the signature block. I think they are great and look really nice when you reply to a post. Now I just have to get over the hurdle of keeping it updated. I lost the first one that I did out in computer land and have no idea how to find it agian so I made another one. I guess my life will be first and little achivements from now on.
