Just Updating ( 7 months post-op)
on May 28, 2008 7:56 pm
Hello everyone, sorry its been a month since I updated. Well I got out of the hospital  Saturday  from  hernia surgery, that is the first complication Ive had since my  bypass 7 months ago  and God it was painful !!!  I dont know why I was in so much pain with hernia surgery and hardly none with my gastric bypass. Well I lost 12  more pounds during my 4 day stay in the hospital, I felt very excited about that. I still have about  38 more pounds to lose until I get  to my personal goal. I have a very supportive family, my sister in law  Tarsha  Fisher makes me feel very special,  she also had the surgery and is looking great!!! She reminds me of myself, she feels like she is not  losing the weight,but we all can see it, she is looking great!!! I hope she continue to be encouraged, because she is really an inspiration for me weather she know it or not. Oh and Dr. Richardson staff was great, they really helped me along those 4 days in the hospital!! My wonderful husband Terrance(Bam) didnt  leave my side fr one minute, and still today, going to work then coming home cooking and taking care of the kids and me!!! I love that man!! 
 Now I need to Vent!!!  We have to move AGAIN!!!!  every house we rent  the landlord  decide that they want to put the house on section 8. This is our third move this year!! Iam so tired of this crap!!  Well my husband mom passed and he have a home that we used to live in, but it was to small  for all the kids; but guess what the money we spend renting we have decided to just move back to the home he own and add on another room and another bathroom!!! we invest so much of our money renting from other people, we can save that money and use it to fix up our own house!!  Pray for us my OH Family, we will start fixing up the house this weekend!!!  Well thats all for now, until next time  God Bless Us All !!!!

Almost 6 Months Out-10 More DAYS!!!!!
on April 5, 2008 11:09 am

Hello all my OH sisters and brothers, I havent updated in a very long time
(Sorry) Well Iam almost  6 months out as of  April 15 and I have been doing great. The weight loss has slowed down, Iam still not a goal yet, but Iam very close. I still fit an Xl shirt because I still havent had a breast reduction yet, I also wear a size 11-12 pants!!! Oh my bra size had went down from triple D to regular  D!!!!  This surgery has really  been a blessing for me!!! Can you also belive my husband is ready for me to stop losing weight, but Im not ready yet  my goal is to be in a medium shirt and 9/10 pants. I also plan to get a loan to have a tummy tuck and have my boobs done by Jan. 2009!!!  UHC said that they dont cover the procedures. I was really mad at first, but I will pay for it if I have to!! Well I will post some new pictures this week!!!!  Love,Katrina

My Story

Hi,my name is Katrina and I ve been researching weight loss surgery for the last six years. In 2001 I finally said thats it Im gonna have a gastric bypass,my bestfriend talked me out of it saying to me you will die if you have that surgery. Think about your kids!! But what I realize now at 258 pounds that I can die from  obesity. So as of  last month I have started my Journey,with the support of my wonderful husband(Terrance) my six childrenand other familey members. My sister Leanora goes to every Doctors appointment with me( I love her to death!!!) I was approved by United Health Care(choice plus) on the first try(Love UHC ) My surgery Date is October 15,2007 Pray For me Please Iam getting A little afraid!!! I have a wonderful Doctor Dr William S. Richardson and Staff!!!

 Everyone Wish Me Luck!!!!
