Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog, I have chosen to blog my journey of WLS in hopes of helping others, going or hoping to go through this journey. My journey started in 2007 when I finally made the decision to call Dr. Forgione's office for the information packet. I then scheduled myself for the informational meeting in Aug. 2007 and then began a long 6 month journey of weightloss. Only to find out my husbands insurance company did not approve the surgery in May 2008. I got my own insurance through a job in Aug. 2009 and restarted the process and was approved for surgery in Oct.2009 and had surgery on Nov 25, 2009. I chose the Realize Band, for the main reason the port is low profile and larger, compared to the LapBand system. But its a choice that is individual and I recommend you do your research.

Sorry for the lack of posts

Since we've moved I have had little motivation, I was down to 223 when we left vermont and we lived with my husband's parents up til June 11th I struggled with gaining and loosing of 7 pounds, at least it was that little.

I have gotten two fills down here but I still feel very little restriction. It could be me, and not having my head on straight as I like to call it, I was doing so well in Vermont, and now down here why? That is all I can say to myself.

But its the little milestones that count like I've lost 8 inches off my waist since November, I have gone from 24 to an 18 pants size.
