My first impression was that he is very nice and professional. He answered all my questions, and I felt comfortable with him being my surgeon.

Dating sites..
on March 17, 2011 2:04 pm
I have been on a dating site for about a month now, and I met someone finally that lived close by. He seemed to have all the qualities in a man that I'm looking for. We have been talking for over a week. I thought myself to be a good judge of character. He asked me to meet him after work on Monday, So I did. We talked for over 3 hours. I really like him! He said he really liked me, and asked me to be his girlfriend. I agreed. So 2 days ago I found him on Facebook and added him as a friend. Then I changed my relationship status as " In a relationship" I was flooded with well wishes. It felt great to know that my friends are so happy for me. Well....Good thing I put his name on there of who I'm dating, because a friend of mine popped up on FB chat and told me that this same guy dated her sister before he got married, and that he has been in jail for a year for felonious assault & aggravated stalking and gave me the case # to look it up. I did and not only found that information to be true, but 8 other cases of PPOS against him and a lot of other very scary stuff. He almost murdered his ex wife! Now...I hope to God that he doesn't come after me and my daughter! I am scared to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am DONE~DONE~DONE with dating sites! I will someday meet someone the old fashioned way or remain single! WOW!!!

Liquids..
on December 5, 2010 7:43 pm
I have been on the liquid diet for 6 days now, just when it was starting to mentally get easier, my daugher has a birthday party here at our house with tons of junk food, cakes and pizzas and pop! I had to come into my bedroom and hide away from it, I now feel depressed! I want to eat that stuff soooo badly but I know it won't do me or my future any good! So, I am trying with all that is in me to be strong! Lord Please Help me!!

Does anyone understand?
on February 27, 2010 7:34 pm
I started this journey about 2 years ago, on the path to lose weight so my diabetes and many other health problems won't kill me. Something I worry about everyday! At first on this path to get RNY done it was going along smoothly and pretty quickly. Now it has  been almost 3 months since my therapist signed off on me and sent the paper work to Health Plus.They just keep me tied up in more and more hoops to jump through. I need the referral to be able to go to Hurley Bariatric Center.. I am beginning to lose faith that this surgery is going to happen! I really need this to happen!!! I need to have my health back! with the medication and insulin I have been on I have been unable to lose any weight no matter what diet or exercise I have tried. This is my last resort....Has anyone else gone through this and what has been the outcome?

My Story

In High School I was thin, I wore "normal" size clothes. I didn't have a problem with food then. Even after being pregnant the pounds just dropped off. I still didn't feel I had a problem with food and my weight. Until my daughter was 4 months old and I found out that my dad had committed suicide. That was and to this day has been the most tragic time in my life!! I never was a drug use kind of person, so that was not an option for me "to cope", I wanted to drink alcohol to ease the tremendous pain I felt, but I had a baby to care for. I was a single mother. So that was not an option either. Food was the only thing left that I found was my constant. It was always there for me. It didn't care if I was happy or sad, looked good or like crap. I could eat, fill that void inside me and for a while feel better. Now over a 19 year period it has become my way of life. But, I have been working hard to change that. I am young and have way to many health problems to keep living this way. I want to live a long life and not worry every day if I am going to die young. I am so hoping  that having Gastric Bypass Surgery gives me my health, life, and freedom back.
