Can't wait!

I have had to work all weekend. I work for a medical system in podunk, kentucky. One of the awesome things about working here is that I have access to 3,000 fellow co workers and their opinions. I tap that resource any time I have to find a new roofer or car repair place. Especially helpful because I did not grow up here and everyone knows each other. I've been asking around about people's weight loss experience. I've heard that with gastric bypass that several of the ladies will eat what ever they want knowing they will "dump" and do it anyways. They have not lost the weight. That hits home for me because I know I would do the same thing. With my 30 year battle with my weight, I believe that i qualify as a food addict. I eat to the point of being uncomfortable. I eat knowing it's bad for me. I eat no matter what. It's also scary the lack of after care. I'm really excited about the 6 month supervised weight loss plan. I want some one to hold my hand, give me direction, and be there before and after surgery. I talked with a fellow that works here about his lap band experience. He was told that as long as he "followed the rules" he would lose the weight. And he lost 150 pounds. WOW! he looks awesome and can tell that he has so much more energy. He says that he uses the lap band to keep him in check. Im so excited for my appointment on Tuesday. I'm eager to get started on this journey. Im excited!
