Like I mentioned in my first post, I chose to get the LAP-BAND to use as a tool to achieve my weight loss goals. After going to the information seminars, talking with the doctor, and praying (a lot) I decided that this is the right thing for me.
So what should I expect? Well two weeks prior to surgery I will start a liver shrinking diet. This will help the doctors when I go into surgery because it is all done laparoscopically. After surgery I will be on a liquid diet and slowly add in solid foods a little at a time. My band will be adjusted, as needed, and I will be able to eat small healthy meals to reach my weight loss goals!
On top of being healthy, I have other goals I want to achieve after loosing the weight! Anyone who knows me knows that I have a love for children and I have wanted a child since before I was old enough to have kids! I was the girl on the basketball team smiling and waving to the baby in the stands while my coach was yelling at me to run the other way! So my most exciting goal is to have babies (yes plural!!) There are other goals I have but that's the big one! Thank you all for your support and love, it would very hard to do this without the support of my friends, family and most of all my husband!
