Meeting new people
on May 4, 2008 11:43 am

I have always known that meeting new people is good for ya but I have made so many new friends on OH that it sometimes boggles my brain. All I can say is that the women and men on the Texas board are amazing. I am hoping that next year I will get to go to the confferance and get to meet some of the people that have been so kind to me this past few months. The amazing thing to me is that I have made a friend that is really close to my own home and we are going to be going through our proccess together. I think that we may have our surgeries in close proxemity. ( I know my spelling is awful, sorry).
I had a friend recently ask me about the new avatar that I have, I put it because I want a reminder of what sweets will be in the future. Although I know with the VSG it will not be a dumping thing. Just a keeping the sweets away will be the thing to do so that I will continue to have a healthier life and maintain that life style.
So to all those From TEXAS

Ok so I am jumping up and down. I have not had a ciggerette in a week. And so far I have not craved one. I can honestly say that I usally want them in the mornings with my coffee. It has been very hard in the past not to have them. Well last week I ran out and have not had one since then. I am praying and am hopeful that this will be the last of them for me. And I think of all the money that I am going tosave. I can save it for after my surgery and when it is time for me to buy clothing I can put that money towards my new wardrobe. YEA!!! I know I can! I know I can! I know I can! I will do this for me and me alone.....
I just want to toot my own horn!TOOT! TOOT!
Anyway tha is all.......ME

One more step completed.
on April 7, 2008 11:44 am

Well today I went and got to see the NUT and the PHYSCO. I am so glad that I am doing this. I think that everything went rather well. I really liked them. Jennifer the NUT says that since I do not have to do a pre op diet for the insurance that she wants me to start getting myself ready with the guide line diet. I am all for that. And I was recommended to go ahead and get a counselor to help me deal with issues that might pop up from my childhood. I am all for that also. I do not need to have myself go down the soul serching lane and figure some really horrible things that may have happen and be ubprepared to deal with them. MOTHER issues from a not to classic childhood. One day I may write a book about it all. Oh yea and I took that H-Pylori test. I thought it was going to be some drawn out proccess. NOT . So here I am now posting my experiances, I never thought that I might do something like this before. It is really a uplifting experiance.
So way that is all for now. Just wait on another phone call, Oh yea I for got I have to attend a class with the NUT on May 6th. Thats all now...

Just a little note
on March 29, 2008 10:10 am

Wow I am so impressed by all of the support that I have been getting the past to days. For someone who has been avoiding people for a long time it is incrediable how it feels to open up tp every one. One day I will right my story then you will understand the hinding part of me.
Let me claraify something for you so you do not think that I have an awful doc. He said that he would not do a gastric bypass, but did say that he wants me to have the VGS done and he is going to work to get it done for me. I am just a super worrier. Have been that way for years.
I have every faith In God and Dr. Davis. God is my all time hero, and I will add the doc to that very small list if he can pull this off for me.

Just me again...

Oh just great

Ok, well yesterday was my appointment with Dr. Davis. Let me tell ya'll he was an awsome dr. But I feel really sad right now. It seems that he does not want to do a gastric bypass because of all the hernias that I have had and the one that I have currently. To many problems can occur. He suggested that I have the VGS done. Which is fine by me. My only problem is I am really worried about the insurance. Like I have said before I have great insurance but seeing as how most of them reject this type of surgery, it has me scared that I may never get the surgery done. Doc says that I will continue to have the hernias until the weight comes off, and I am miserable with having had to have these repaired every year or so. This is #4 and I am sick of them. So now I have to go and seek out all my old sergeons and get the paper work sent to the doc. That is not a problem just feel it might be a waste of time for them and me if the insurance says that they are not in no way going to pay.
So any way that is where I stand at present point in my journey to weight loss surgery.
But I'll not give up and with prayers and my faith that God will see me and this through I know I will prevail some how.

Gods Blessings to all who come to read this.

Just me!!!!

My Story

Ok so all I can start with is that I am like everyone else on here and have been morbidly obese since well forever. In high school I was overweight. I was a size sixteen, I thought that I looked good, but I guess that others thought it was not right to be big.

So then I graduated and got married. I've been married for 20 yrs this May 28th. And I have two very handsome young men for sons. Jack and Joshua. Jack is my Hippie and Josh is my Marine. Gotta love the differance. There is no end to the political wars that goes on in this house hold. LOL But we all love each other. That is what family is right?

Well that is what I make of my family. Growing up it did not happen that way. My mother came from a very abusive family where her father molested everyone of his children. Needless to say my mother was not the best of moms because she did not know how to be one. There was a time when she even left my sister with that monster. My sister was taken to live with someone else for a while but I was left for a time. Needless to say you can probally guess what had happen. But GF is dead and I cann't confront him with this. My mother will never admit to any wrong doing in leaving my sister and me so what is the piont right...
Because of a rough time growing up I have learned not so show any type of emotion or affection for anyone or anything. It can cause you pain in the long run.
This has been so hard for me because of my boys, I love them to death and would die for them but it is so hard for me to show them how much I really do care and love them. This has also made to were I hate to be touched unless I give the permission for ya to touch me. And then you will not get the chance fof it to be a very long time. I will start to feel trapped and it bothers me to no end.

So now that I think about all of this I guess this is part of the reason that I am a fat woman. A rotten childhood and not loosing after the kids and eating because I had a stressedout life. So now I want to get a new tool to help me loose and get healthy. To get a new me and a new lease on life.
I guess that what I need to do is get a PHYSCO to help me with the problems form childhood and keep asking God to help me not esent my mother for putting me in the sittuation that she left me in.

So that is all for now.       ME
