03/24/2009 Met with the Psychologist today. Passed with flying colors.

04/06/2009 Received call from the sleep study doctor. I feel for all you that have to wear the mask.

4/9/2009 Received call from Surgeon's office today. I have the first appointment on April 29th. I am hoping to get the surgery done by May. Wish me luck!

April 29 had visit with surgeon, need approval on lapband surgery. Once approval in will schedule appointment. Weight today is 271.1

6/2/2009 still waiting for surgery. My insurance company says I need a bmi of 40 for the last 5 years. Even though I have been between 38-39 and 40 in those 5 years. I am very frustrated. I do not want to give up but I get so tired of fighting.

11/12/2010 New hope. Received information that my insurance company should cover the procedure. We shall see. The staff at the doctors office seems optimistic. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

12/2/2010 Received call this morning I am having surgery on the 22nd, finally!

12/10/2010 Went to the Surgeons office and had my pre-op labs, check up and pre opp class with doos and donts. Weighed in at 279.8. Up from last year but down since my last appt. What a journey it has been since January of 2009. I can't believe it is 12 days away.

January 1, 2011 I weighed myself this morning currently 263. Down total of 19 lbs since November 10, 2010.

Been on liquid diet since day before surgery I am looking forward to the mushys.

1/10/2011 Weigh in today. 258. Lost 24 Ibs so. Slow and steady wins the race!

1/17/2011 Weighed in today. Still 258. I think my body is trying to catch up to the weight I lost after surgery.

01/26/2011 Still hangin on to 258. No additional pounds lost. Fill next week hopefully this helps.

1/29/2011 Finally I have gotten off the plato. Now down to 256 total weight loss 26 lbs.
