It Starts.....

Hello everyone or maybe no one :) I have been overweight all my life. As long as I can possibly remember. If I knew then what I know now then maybe I would have stopped those 2nd and 3rd helpings. LoL. But then again maybe not because I met my hubby because of my size. He is a "chubby chaser" a "fat admirer" whatever you want to call it. To me he is wonderful and he is my world and without him & our daughter, this journey wouldn't be possible. In 1996, I almost died from blood clots due to complications with birth control and phen fen. Very big scare. So I am not going to lie. I am worried and excited about the journey I am taking. My official journey towards to lap band started on 3/27/07. I made up my mind that I am not getting any younger or smaller. I went to the seminar for what I thought was going to be my surgeon. Completed tests and what not they requested. Then the 2nd week of June they leave a message for me stating that the surgeon is no longer doing the surgery. Well by this time I have already gotten everything done except the results from sleep study and chest xray. So anyways, started over with another doctor. So now I have to start medically supervised diet with new doctor before I can see surgeon. My goal is just to have the surgery by end of this year. I gotta lose 30 lbs I know that is going to be hard but I will do it.
