Lap-Band Journey begins.....

Although I've already begun this journey, it's time to get it down on "paper" so that I can properly track it!

To get a quick history in:

I'm a mother of triplet boys who were born in 2000. They continue to fascinate, amaze, and frustrate me each and every day!

I've battled my weight my whole life, and though I've managed to live a meaningful life, I see that my struggle with my weight has now been endowed upon 2/3 of the boys. This needs to stop before my problems become theirs.

I am in the midst of getting a Lap-Band to help me deal with this demon once and for all.

I am struggling with an insurance company that covers the procedure completely.... however, NOT for their individual pay customers (as of 1/2009.... and I AM one of these individual pay folks) I am trying to appeal the decision.... but am prepared to self-pay if necessary.

I am hopeful that this surgery will happen on 7/28/2009.
