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.

New Job really paying off!!

Ok ya'all I left my preschool job inorder to be home with my girls, especially since they really need me once school is out. So I have gone back to being a Nursing Assistant and wow I am working 12 hour shifts and it is paying off in helping me get the last 50 pounds off. I am down to 206 and working out at a gym with my mother in law. I never thought I would love going to a gym or love working out.

My mom was down for Christmas and has not seen me since Jan. and says I am so skinny it feels so good to hear but my head is still in the fat girl mode. How do we get out of the fat girl psyche.
