    Debi, I hope everything went well. I hope you are up and moving around the corridor of the 3north at Sisters. God Bless you and your family and friends for their support.

    Tomorrow is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Hi all!!
  It's been awhile since I have updated so here it goes...
To date I am 1 month out had total lost is 30 lbs!! I think it's slow going right  now but I'll take every little pound I can get!! 
  So far so good (knock on wood). I have had no complications and I only suffered "dumping" once, It was no picnic!! I thought I would have to be rushed to the ER!!  But after about 20 minutes (and purging 5 times) it was gone!!  I hope to god that never happens again!!
  I really can't tell on myself the weight loss. Some of my clothes are looser and people I haven't seen that don't know that I had the surgery say I look like I am losing weight. So I guess it is working!! LOL. I hope by my next update I have at least reached 40lbs lost!!  
Until then......

Hi all!  Hi Ya
  Well I had my surgery on the 19th!!  I came home Saturday with alot of pain!!!  All I am doing is sleeping, drinking water and going to the bathroom!!  LOL
  I have to call for my follow up appt today. Other than the pain I feel pretty good. I just want the pain to stop so I can do more. I'm not use to sitting around. Today I am going to venture out and water my plants outside and take a short walk. 
  Hopefully the next time I post I will be pain free!!!

Hi all! 
 It's been a while since I have updated. I am finally going for pre-ops on Monday. I am more nervous about that right now than the actual surgery. Less than 2 weeks and I will be on the loser's bench (provided all goes well on Monday). 
  I must say, the time is going rather fast. I hope recovery is just as fast!! I'm trying to get everything organized here at home. This week-end I am cleaning everything, so I don't have to worry about it when I come home from the hospital. It will just have to wait until I can do it....LOL Seeing I live alone. 
  I have many friends and relatives who are just a phone call away, and live very close (right down the street). So I am not to worried about that. 
  Well I hope all goes well...I will post on Monday to let you know how I made out!

 It's About Time     Well....I finally received the phone call I have been waiting so long for. I found out today that I was approved and that my surgery is July 19th!!  I am so excited!!!  Now the countdown begins!  
  Now if only I could give up the smokes all together!!  I am cutting down alot! I use to smoke close to 2 packs a day! Now I am down to under 10 cigarette's a day. Yesterday I had 7...which is very good....I think. Now if I could only STOP!!!!!    I'm trying!!  I have had 6 today and I don't have anymore left!  I better stay in and not run to the store for more!!!   Ohhhhhh it's so hard!!    LOL

My Story

4/1/07

   Well short and sweet....I am a 42 soon to be 43. I am at my highest weight ever of 298. I know there is a skinny beautiful woman inside of me just begging to come out!! Hopefully, if I follow all the steps it will be a dream come true for me. My goal is to get to a size 12/14 and under 200lbs. My journey won't begin until I am approved by my HMO. After all the profiles I have read, I am a bit nervous, but I won't know if I don't take the steps. My first step is April 10th with my PCP. Wish me luck!!
