Lap-Band Update

Well some of you may know I had to cancel all of my original appointments:( Kristopher's company only hires twice a month, and so even though he completed his 90 days, he had missed the first hire date of the month, so we had to wait until the end of the month. That conflicted with my appointments, so I had to cancel them.

The GOOD news is that Kristopher was officially hired on! YAY! So in a few days he'll be going in to sign up for his bennifts and we will finally have our health insurance! When that happens I'll be re-scheduling all of my doctor's appointments so we can get this thing going!

I'm hoping to have my surgery scheduled for right after the new year. It would be a great start to the new year to have my surgery and start my new life right at the start of the new year :)

I'm not too dissapointed about having to push this back, because I really will enjoy having one last Christmas of completely unrestricted pigging out :) Christmas is my FAVORITE time of the year and everyone always has the best foods! While I know I could do it if I had to, it would be very hard to start my new way of eating in the middle of the holidays. I will be able to deal with it much better after a year of eating with the band before I get to Christmas. Then next Christmas when I'm not able to stuff myself with eggnog, cookies, Christmas candy, beef stick, candy canes, hot chocolate, and all the other wonderful Chrsitmas foods, at least I will be over my food mourning period and I will know how much and of what I can eat so I don't feel like I can't eat anything. It will be great :)

Then by October of 2010, I should be at my goal weight/size in time for our SoCal Family Adventure! That's not the official name, we need to come up with that :) I'll be so excited for our family vacation to all of the Southern California theme parks so that I can actually ride the rides without the constant fear that I won't be able to fit in them or have to sit in a car by myself because there isn't enough room for anyone else :( That's the worst feeling in the world :( Anyway, that shouldn't be a problem anymore!

I will update my appointment schedule once I have it! Thanks for all your support :)
