When you find peace within yourself, you'll be able to be at peace with others 
My Story Hi OH Family,  I am just starting the process of the beginning of my new life. I am 31yrs old, happily married with three babies 10, 8 and 5 and praying to have another one before I’m 35. I decided to begin the process of doing something more about my weight after so many failed attempts of every diet that you can name, even down to the weight lost medications. It’s not that I don’t lose the weight when I diet, it’s that when my body and mind tells me I need a break from working out and exercising so much, my weight that I loss gets mad with me and returns home. I really want to be able to pass on good habits to my children because they are starting to become very active and want mommy to interact with them in sports like daddy do, especially my son if he runs around the track he wants me to run with him too, I'll start the run with him, only for him and his daddy to leave me and the five year old behind because she doesn’t want to leave mommy behind or she just don’t want to run (lol).  I don’t want them to stop their physical involvement in sports, because of me, but I really do want to join them in every activity their involved in, even if its just jumping rope and riding the bike with them. I was never really picked on as a child and always had friends, because I was always one that could give you a good laugh, even when I was sad, it was always a smile there. I always stay happy, because I had confidence in myself, even when others didn’t like me, it didn’t matter, because I was me and I was satisfied with that. I want my children to be excited to go out to the amusement park and ask me to get on the ride with them, and I’ll be able to say sure, and not say, not this time baby, mommy can’t fit. That's why I have decided to look into the surgery RNY. I attended the seminar on Oct. 19th, and now I’m just waiting for my consultation with the surgeon. I have already spoken to my insurance company to begin the requirements of them, which I have to attend a Lifestyle Management Program at a local gym for at least three months, but I can’t enroll into the program until January 2012 because that’s when the next session starts. So I’m praying that everything will be ready to go forth before my birthday in August 2012, so I'll be on my new journey of a new body, same ole’ me, besides the OREO”S & MILK that I LOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEE So I’m so excited, just been reading about the pro’s and con’s but everything in life has that so I just pray to GOD that when the time come for my procedure, he’ll take me through it all. I know that once I hear that I’m approved and get my date the nervousness will come, as well as the EXCITOCITY, because I will be over estatic but I also know how to pray for the comfort I need, along with my husband and family support.  |

I'm not sure where to start at now...I chose this topic...because that's the name of the 6 month program that I was required to attend for my insurance company.....before my packet from the surgeon office can be submitted to them...so guess what it's almost the end of June so my 6 months is up...but guess what...something had to go wrong...when I started the program in January...the instructors for the Gym where this program is at held at, just tell you, that you are required to at least 12 times a month...which i did every month....but what they didn't tell me that the five classes that i attended to find out about this program doesn't count...because we didn't physically exercise at least 45 mins...we just recieved information on the program...oh yeah so now for the 17 times I went the month of January doesn't count..because of what...AH HA...you only physically came in and exercised 11 times this month....OH NOW YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...WTF....no we're not, you must go for the month of July (are you serious for one missed exercise day)...I am thankful for your insurance...and I appreciate all that comes with my insurance...but really people the month of July...so guess what birthday in August you WILL NOT have the big gift that you wanted...because I'll be busting my @$$ at the GYM...so i'll be getting FIT like I have been within the last six months...OH WELL (I MUST CONTINUE TO SAY POSITIVE ENERGY BRING POSITIVE THINGS and my day on the loser's bench will come...and I'm ready...I have trained myself to eat the way I will have to after my procedure) so the weight is coming off and I like that....
Hi OH family, just wanted to give an update on my WLS process thus far...Well, I go in for my consult on the 26th and I'm so excited, can't wait until it all said and done...I guess it should go by rather quickly the lady that called me from the surgical office, already informed me that she talked to my insurance company and what the portion will be that I have to pay...and needless to say...i'm satisfied and overjoyed with the amount...I couldn't ask God for a better life changing blessing...
Hello OH family, just wanted to give you an update on my journey.....Well last week I attended orientation requirements to begin the healthy living program as required by my insurance company for wls. Went back Friday to give weight and required initial body measurements. I'm so excited that I will begin excersing this week and then continue on for the next three months, then I can call the surgeon office to get my consultation with surgeon in April to see when my surgery will take place...really hoping it be in April or the early part of May, because my sister will be getting married June 23rd and I would love to have some weight off by then, if not I'll still be happy because I know my journey has officially started
Today is the day I received a phone call with great news from the surgeon office on how much my copay would be for my procedure and what steps I have to take before coming in for my consultation and receiving my surgery date......with my insurance I have to enroll in a Lifestyle Management A(exercise)
program , then after I have been in it for three months, I get to call and get my appt to begin my journey to dropping useless weight.....I'm EXCITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEDDDD.... the only bummer is the next class for the program doesn't start until January.......
So prayerfully, I will be having this procedure a couple months before my birthday, so I can turn away from the plus size section before then.
