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.

So Close!!

Well, I had another follow up appointment with Dr. Heider my BMI is 27 and he said a normal BMI is 25, he said I am doing fabulous. I went home to Vermont to see my family and they were so shocked at my transformation, I tried on my nieces size 11/12 and my mom's sizes 8/10 and I fit into them all. It really felt awesome to know I was getting that much smaller.
