Surgeon Testimonial

John W. Baker M.D.
Fantastic and very thorough! So glad I had Dr. Baker. When I need my gallbladder out...I will make sure he is the one to do it!!! He is awesome and visited me 2 times in the hospital which I didn't expect! Great dr!

 Race, famine, religion, money, nationalism, resources...the list goes on for the reasons that many wars have been fought or are still being fought.

My war has always been with FOOD.

I love it and I hate it. It will be a daily struggle and this is my beginning to the rest of my life

 Hey guys...my surgery went great...no problems.....dr didn't remove my gallbladder because he had to repair a hiatal hernia that I didn't know that I had!!

I have lost 13 pounds since surgery. Haven't been walking as much....really really hot outside and humid here in Arkansas! I've walked around the inside of my house some, but not as much as I should!!

No soreness last 2 days since July 11!!! I think I am coming around the bend to goodness! lol

Insurance Problems, anyone else?
on May 31, 2012 9:48 pm
I am having the worst time with insurance. There are so many hoops you have to jump to get this covered. It keeps changing. Now because of some new dr diet forms, my surgery has been postponed until July! I was so close.

I am very disappointed and stress eating because of it........really bad!

Any tips?

Hospital Stay Necessities
on April 5, 2012 9:54 pm
Ok guys...I need your help.
My initial surgeon appointment is May 22. I was told about 4 weeks after that would be the surgery day.

What are the most important things to have in the hospital? What do you wish you would have had or couldn't live without while you were in the hospital?


Thanks guys....  


Also.............. what is the best pair of shoes that you have that you couldn't live without?

My Story

Had my surgery 7-11-12!!

I am a married mother of 2 boys one is 8 and one is 11. I haven't been chuck-o all my life. It happened right after my parents divorced in 1986. I started slowly going downhill. When I was a junior in high school I quit the basketball team and then I really started struggling with my weight. That began the diet pill/fad diet phase that I have been on since 1992.  Which leaves now. I weigh 309 lbs...down from 328 my highest weight since I started taking Phentermine two months ago knowing that I gain back double when I stop. I just love food. I don't eat when I'm depressed or bored,  I eat because I LOVE FOOD!

I am hoping that my best friend is able to get the surgery too. It will be nice doing this together. 

Interests: TWILIGHT! yes I am 35 years old and in love with Edward Cullen! *My husband supports and contributes to my addiction! 

I guess that is it....for now! I have posted pictures of me these past couple of years. I can't wait to be able to post my after surgery pictures!
