I got my REALIZE  band on Friday.  Spent most of the day in recovery at Scottsdale Healthcare Shea with great nurses and a couple of other ladies who'd gotten banded.  Home by 6, had my broth and jello and went to bed.  Slept well except for having to get up to pee several times, but that's a good thing.  I've rested, walked, peed and eaten jello & broth for the last two days and am looking forward to some proteins tomorrow.  I'm not particularly hungary, but did salivate over holiday goodies at my neighbors house.  Will blog again soon as I'm sure people are anxious to know more about the REALIZE band.

Funny how things work out.  I'm scheduled for LB surgery with Dr. Blackstone on Dec. 7!!!  While I could have been done with it tonight, as today was my original surgery day, thing happen for a reason and I'll just have to wait 50 more days.  Ugh.

I'm feeling so frustrated that I thought I might feel better to express my feelings through my finger tips.  I'm really glad I found this site and the Barriatric Eating site, they've helped me alot. But I think I'm obsessed with LB surgery.  I was so excited about it when I made the decision to do it.  And in the weeks leading up to my scheduled surgery with Dr.? I was so happy, carefree, and eating like a horse.  When I had to cancel the surgery due to scary reviews on the dr I was devastated.  Everything I read on these sites says good things bout the dr, but when several other medical professionals say don't do it, what else can I do?  So now I'm back to square one trying to figure out who to go to.  But I cant get in to see them for 2-3 weeks which means another 2 weeks until surgery which puts me right at thanksgiving.  And that's IF they'll do a lower BMI person.  Blackstone's group said my BMI is on the low side, but sometimes she'll do it.  I'm sure she'll look for comorbidities.  Does depression count?I don't want to wait, I want to do it NOW.  I'm sick and tired of feeling fat.  I want to stay home and hibernate.  I'm blowing off work, blowing off friends, eating and drinking alot.  That has to be a comorbidity.  On top of it I started on Lunesta last night which leaves a nasty taste in my mouth and the only way to get rid of it is to EAT AND DRINK!!!
