Hello, My name is Cathy. I had the lap band surgery in 2003. I has a  revision to the RNY on July 9, 2008. So glad I did. (please see my comments about surgeons I would not use). The lap band is a great tool but not for me. I am a  mother of five. I am in college for my BA in Psychology.  I finished my degree in criminal justice on 3/27/09. I am here for support and to make new friends.

To a New Year!
on January 1, 2011 9:47 pm
To me the new years is just another day. The only thing different is that I have prayers and hope. My prayers asking God for this new year to be better than the last and hope that I will recieve it. What would make this year better than the last? One that my sister's breast cancer goes into readdmission. Two that my fathers COPD and enphasima dose not get worse. Three my brother's heart condition get better. Four that my grandson, daughter, and my  siezures get under control. Fifth that my other daughter dose not need another brain surgery again. Sixth my other kids stay healthy. Seventh that we find a place big enough that we can afford to rent for all 9 of us. We short sold our home on Dec. 28, 2009.  Eighth that three of my kids get a job or better job. Ninth that I do good in college and my real estate license comes in the mail in the next 3 weeks. Tenth also that my mom heart problems get better. Also I miss my sister who past away almost 2 years ago. I know life could be worse but I could use a little help for it to be better. This is my prayers and hopes for this year. God Bless!

It's been awhile!
on March 23, 2010 9:31 pm
I am almost at 2 years out. It's been a wild ride. I need to get my plastics done. Hopefully the end of this year if not the beginning of next. My sister was just diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and will be having radiation therapy. This February that past made it one year ago that my other sister past away. I miss her so much. I am a epileptic and have been having more seizures due to the fact my medication is not absorbed properly from the GB. The doctor also found that my white blood cell count  and platelets are low. They think it is caused by my seizure medication or worse. I am having some test done. I will just have to pray and wait and see. To everyone I hope and pray life is treating you better than it is treating me. May God Bless you all. Until next time bye bye for now.

My Story

 Not much to say. My story is just like 90% of everyone elses. I have been over weight all of my life. The only thing that might be different then some is I am 5ft 10in tall and big bone body strucure. So over the years I have been able to  hid some of my weight. I was made fun of at school for my weight . I know just like most of you. As I had my children I put more and more weight on too.
