I went to the doctor today. I wanted to consult with him about the Lap Band I’ve been hearing so much about and have a check-up.

He gave me a well due physical. In talking about the physical, I told him about dating scene and my life.

He asked, “Are you sexually active?”

I said, “No, but I sure want to be!”

I like making my doctor laugh. He’s a great doctor.

We talked about new birth control options. Good grief, I haven’t had to think about such things since I had Emily 23 years ago and Mike had his vasectomy. But now that I’m dating again, I guess I should be educated, safe and chose an option.

Dr. Tracy and I discussed the lap band pretty well. He doesn’t have many patients who have had that procedure since its so new. He thinks I would be a good candidate for it. His gastric by-pass patients have done well and he didn’t see why the lap band wouldn’t work for me.

I value his opinion and feel much more positive about getting a lap band.

I’m also feeling very positive about being sexually active!

Who’d a thunk a 52 year old fat woman possibly having a boyfriend and get skinny too. Cool!
