DAY 3 BUT GOT BAD NEWS
on August 24, 2011 11:37 pm
KAISER WROTE ME A LETTER AND HAS DENIED ME.FOR GASTRIC BYPASS

I FELT SICK WHEN I READ IT.....NOTHING ABOUT THAT THE COMMITTEE APPROVE IT.

AND ALL I HAD TO DO IS QUIT SMOKING CIGARETTES.AND GET TO MY GOAL WEIGHT 282 WHEN

I DID IT PASSED SIX MONTHS AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY I DID OVEREAT. I THOUGHT PEOPLE GET

SURGERY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH DIETS .AND ITS AN EATING DISORDER AND I NEEDED HELP

I GAINED OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS OF 60+POUNDS AND SO HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE. WHY DID THEY PRETEND

TO SAY YES SURGERY.............................WHEN HE TOOK THE TEST.........I COULD NOT REALLY SEE ANYTHING.

SO HE TOOK IT TO THE BOARD.......................THEY SAID YES........AND NOW..................THEY SAID ITS NOT MEDICALLY

NECESSARY....DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS..............(.BAD BACK KNEES HARD TO WALK I SIT DOWN AND WHEN I GET UP ITS PAINFUL) THEY SAY MY   

 JOB SAYS ITS NOT NEEDED.  THEN WHY ARE ALL THESE DRIVER'S GETTING GASTRIC BYPASS.


THEY NEVER HAD ANY COMPASSION FOR ME ONLY LIES.............................HE DID NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH REVISIONS AND THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT....................KAISER IN SAN FRANCESCO. SOUNTERN  WHAT ABOUT THAT.THEY WANT TO USE MY THERPIT NOTES.BACK IN MY CHILDHOOD  IS WHY I KEEP EATING.ALSO THEY WANT ME TO WORK WITH THEM ABOUT SEEING SOMEONE UP THERE.TO LIE EVEN MORE TO ME  I COULD SCREEM ABOUT NOW. i DON'T THINK I CAN FIGHT ANYMORE BUT I WILL FIND OUT WHY DID HE LIE TO ME.. I'M VERY HURT ABOUT THIS. NEXT STEP IS SECOND OPENON BUT NOT IN FREMONT.

WHY DID THINGS GET TO WHERE I'M AT TODAY
on August 21, 2011 4:46 pm
 TODAY IS SUNDAY AUGUST 21ST 2011.RIGHT TODAY I SHOULD OF BEEN A DIFFERNT WOMAN.WITH A SMALLER BODY....I KNOW THAT A WOMAN IS NOT SUPPOSE TO GO AFTER A MAN. BUT MY MOTIVATION WERE BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS WONDERFUL MAN WOULD COME IN MY LIFE AND SWIPE ME OFF MY FEET.....BECAUSE I LOOK DAMN GOOD.


TO ACCOMPLISH THIS I HAVE TO LOSE OVER A 100 LBS THERE WERE ONE MAN WHO I LIKE A LOT HE IS KIND. IF I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH HOW I FEEL AND HE DID SOMETHING TO UPSET ME.HE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.(HIS WORDS)I NEVER WANT YOU TO FEEL THAT I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU.(HIS WORDS)BECAUSE I DO.I WANT TO BE NOTICE WHEN I CROSS THE STREET. AND NOT WORRY SOMEONE IS MAKING ME RUN. BECAUSE I'M FAT.I WANT TO GO IN A DEPARTMENT STORE AND SEE ALL THE SEXY AND NICE CLOTHES THAT I JUST DREAMED ABOUT.I WANT TO GO TO A RESTAURANT AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE BOOTH I SLIDE IN.IS GOING TO MAKE MY STOMACH BE THE MAIN COURSE.I WANT TO GO TO WORK WITH NO PAIN.TO JUST FEEL SO OUT OF BREATH.I HAVE TO STOP AT HE GATE TO GET TO THE STRENGTH AND  WISH I WAS BACK HOME IN BED.



ON AUGUST 22ND I'M STARTING THIS DIET AGAIN. I WANT WLG I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND.I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT REALLY FEEL LIKE TO BE A WOMAN.I WAS CHEATED OUT OF THE LIFE STYLE I WANTED WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.


THERE WAS A YOUNG BOY. WHO I WROTE A LETTER TOO.I KNOW HE LIKED ME A LITTLE BUT I DID NOT FIT IN.TO BE TAKEN TO THE PROM......I WENT BACK IN TIME 1973 I HAD A CRUSH ON HIM.HE WAS SWEET AND HE WROTE IN MY YEAR BOOK THAT WE WOULD ALWAYS BE FRIENDS.BEING 350 POUNDS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHAT BOY IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD ASK ME TO THE PROM. HE IS TODAY A VERY IMPORTANT MAN. A VICE PRESIDENT OF A COMPANY....IF I WAS 130LBS HE WOULD OF ASKED ME.

TOMORROW AUGUST 22ND 2011 I'M GETTING MY GROVE BACK. SO MY LIFE CAN BE A PROM FOR ME EVERYDAY. WITH THE HELP OF A TOOL......I'M ASKING GOD TO GIVE ME THAT TOOL. EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.I WAS A LITTLE DOWN FRIDAY. I SAW MY BROTHER WHO IS SICK.AND THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST YEAR.AND ALSO MY MOTHER.BUT GOD.HAS THIS ONE.ALL I CAN DO IS GIVE THEM LOVE AND PRAY

  I had too much food.pies cakes dressing mash potatoes potatoes salad and all the fixings. I gained 15lbs in one-day........I was 303 now I'm 315 today 311lbs.I think that gastric bypass medical office is probably thinking I'm not a good candidate for gastric Bypass. And take me off the list. But I'm back and yest i will be a good candidate.I will be writing a blog once a week.

My Story

Thank You Hello Everyone. welcome to my story. I have been  overweight most of my life. My heaviest is 374lbs In 1979. I had gastric bypass surgery. But it failed. I was in the hospital for 1 week, on a liquid diet. I asked the doctor, What can I eat when i go home, He said anything, I wanted. I ate some pork fried rice. That was my favorite food. I kept trowing up. And finally the Staples, came loose. I failed weight loss surgery. And My weight has been a yo yo nightmare. Now Surgeons today, Have a greater success rate. And I want this very much, I feel I can make it this time. People are losing 60-90 in the first 120 days. That past surgery i only lost 10lbs, and that was in the hospital.Please wish me luck. I feel, with the group of people on OH.   I can make it. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. EDNA
