I've had many exciting things to talk about...I am enrolled in an on-line school to finish my teaching degree. YAY! I'm floating through the lessons and exams so far with ease.
I've also begun a weight loss journey. I'm going to have a lapband placed on the upper part of my stomach. I have started the health testing part of the process. Last week I had an endoscopy, unltrasound of pelvic and upper torso, and an EKG. Tommorow I go in for a stress test. They also called back and told me they found a mass on my ovary. I go back in on Friday for more tests..thinking it's just a cyst.
The next step is finding a new antipsychotic medicine because the one I'm on now can't be crushed (the first month after surgery is liquids only). After that I go to a sleep study in the beginning of May. If all goes well, I will have the surgery at the end of May. In the meantime, I've started the pre-op diet.
Here is my starting weight photos...I hope to post new pictures every Friday and report any losses or gains.
Love you all my blogging buddies..
I have just started this journey also! I have to have my gallbladder removed and a colonoscopy then the lap band surgery. Where are you having it done?

I'll pray for you, Eva! I remember my 6 months on Weight Watchers when I was young like you! Hard but so worth it! I weigh more now than I did when I started WW, and have battled weight all my life! God bless you!!
