Getting The Ball Rolling....

I have selected the facility (mynewselfbariactics.com) and the doctor (Darin M. Minkin, D.O.) all over the internet.

I have reserved a spot for the hubby and I @ the upcoming seminar (yes, I need hubbie's support) on 4/14/09. The doctor I selected is conducting the Educational Seminar. This seminar is required before surgery. (The seminar was very informative btw). When I set up for the seminar I also made my initial appointmet with Dr. Minkin.....

Doctor Visit

Today I go see my primary physician and I ask him about weight loss surgery for me. He tells me I am not that much overweight (God love him) and am not the normal candidate for this surgery but says it may be an option for me ~ he gives me two places to check out and tells me what two places to avoid. So begins the inquiry journey.

Thoughts Running Through My Head...

Today I started considering the Lap Band weight loss surgery. Is it an option for me? I'm so tired of the weight roller coaster. Take some off, put some back on, take some more off, put some more back on. Never ending cycle. Yes, I CAN take weight off ~ I can diet and I can exercise and the scale reflects my success. Then along comes the enemy....celebration! And I celebrate with a little of this and a little of that and before I know it I've gained 5 lbs AGAIN! So today is the day I decide to check into this possibility for ME.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blogspot ~ it's a new one ~ made especially for me and my gizmo blogs ~ gizmo being my new lap band tool for weight loss and the journey I am on.....

This blog is a work in progress...like me so I will be adding pictures, quotes, whatever I want to as I go along ~ did I mention this is my blog spot so I can do what I want with it?! ;-)
