Thanks Ang

Well I have to thank Ang (current Blogger also) for giving me the idea to also Blog my lap-band journey on here. If she can have the courage to write down her journey, so can i.
I can't say that weight loss surgery isn't something that hasn't been on my mind for the last 6 years. But as most people, i kept telling myself that I can do it on my own. Every time I took the step it sent me back two steps. Frustrated, helpless and really depressed I finally realized I needed help. I had already contacted Dr. W's office last year, had the assistant send over the papers and everything. Unfortunatly they ended up in the recycling and away from my thoughts, bcs again I can do it on my own. Now, 4 months away from my wedding, I am lifting my arms in release and asking for help. I owe it to myself, my fiance and my family to get this under control. So I contacted Dr. W's office again last week and had her send over the papers via fax and sent back an hour later. I was determined to get this going while I still had the courage. So i booked an appt for next week, had her send me some requisitions for some blood tests to take with me to the appt, again speeding things up. I have only told a select few, my fiance of course, my parents and my best friend and her mom. So far everyone is pretty supportive. Have to feel out my b/f and her mom a bit more. Not sure how i'm going to keep this a secret from work, but im determined to find a way. Until next time....
