    I got lots of rest and took advantage of all the good drugs they were willing to dish up! I went back to my part-time job yesterday (only 2.5 hours in the evening), but had gone shopping for about 2 hours before that and it was rough. Who knew it took so much energy to walk in and out of stores???
    Went for my post-op check with the surgeon today and he is thrilled with my progress and I am too - 11 pounds in 6 days! I know it will slow down when I start eating again, but I ma certainly enjoying it now!
    Take care and let me know how you are doing!

    My surgery experience went pretty well. I was waking up in recovery an hour and a half after being wheeled into surgery. I had chosen to stay overnight because it was just over an hour to the hospital and was glad I did because I had to be cathed twice. Other than that, everything went well! Glad you had an uneventful experience. We are on our way now!!

    Hi, how are you doing? I am at day 11 post-surgery and am feeling pretty good! Back to work and more energy than usual. The gas pains are finally not here for the last 2 days. I am telling more and more people about my surgery and fell like I have a lot of support. My husband is very supportive, he worries alot about me. I can't wait for the weight restriction to be off so I can lift my granddaughter, but she's walking around now and doesn't want held much anyway. It's the family joke that at family gatherings, Courtney and I will be eating the same food!

    Have a blessed day and take care.

It has been along time since I blogged here. I think it was when I was approved which was May 12th. I had surgery on June 18th and am getting ready to have first fill on July 31st. I lost 20 lbs on pre diet and then have lost 14 since surgery. It is coming off slowly but I am glad of that, it is more apt to stay off that way. I am in lap band limbo with very little restriction right now, but use my little plastic rubbermaid containers that hold like 3/4 cup and when the food is gone I stop!...

I found out late yesterday afternoon that I am approved through my insurance. I am so excited. I got a call this a.m. from surgeon's office and have an appt with him on June 5th (1- to pay up! LOL 2-To set surgery date) and then go to pre-admission for all that stuff as well.

I did ask for a Friday surgery date so I can come back to work on Monday.

The reason I asked not to meet with the surgeon until the first of June is my son-in-law is coming home from Iraq tomorrow...

I am sitting here waiting on the insurance company to approve the surgery so I can start my new life! I am so excited about this procedure.

I have had weight issues since I was abused by a family member when I was approx. 10 years old. I guess I decided to hide behind the weight and it would protect me. But it started coming on when I was in the 5th grade. Up until then I was thin. In fact, my mom told me that when I was a baby they had to take me to the doctor because...

Well, my name is Ronda and I have decided to try and have the lapband surgery here in Springfield, MO with Dr. Edwards from St. John's. I went to the seminar in Feb. 08 and started the process. I finished the last requirement with them this last monday and now my paperwork has been submitted to my insurance company and I am just waiting to find out if I am going to be able to go through with the lapband procedure.

I am very excited about this process and have really enjoyed everything...
