on June 5, 2012 5:17 pm
HI EVERYONE,
   I AM FINALLY HAVING MY SURGERY, I HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE THE RNY RATHER THAN THE BAND. I AM CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. MY MOM HAD THE RNY AND SHE IS DOING GREAT AND SHE WANTS THE BEST FOR ME AS WELL. I DON'T COME ON AS OFTEN AS I SHOULD OR WOULD LIKE TO BUT I AM TRYING TO BE MORE ACTIVE MOVING FORWARD. WELL, I AM COUNTING THE DAYS AND I AM SO EXCITED. MY TIME IS FINALLY HERE AND FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. WELL, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW....TOOTLES

Nothing is up
on March 4, 2012 1:20 pm
So I have been basically having tons of appointments with my doctor, because I haven't lost any weight, even though it is not required by my insurance, my doctor has put me on a diet. A diet that is annoying and often not followed that well. Anywho I have a couple of more appointments with the nurse, I guess until they can get it through my head not to eat what I have been, which has basically been awful experience, I need to gain some self control, my surgery could have been done a long time ago. :(((

all done!!
on December 6, 2011 11:37 am
  So tomorrow I have my last two appointments my sleep study and meet with the psychiatrist. I got everything  done with the nutritionist and dietitian last week. I hate waiting on anything, I will throw a fit when things don't go as I have planned. So hopefully when I see my Dr on 12/21/2011 this will be considered my post op visit, I'm not sure. I have really been trying to focus on my no starch diet and following the plan I have been given, but it can be a little hard sometimes. Luckily for me, my hubby can cook, so I have been ignoring the kitchen and making salads. I really hope my surgery is scheduled for early January so I can have my road trip with my best friends. I have Tricare Prime and they move really fast, I got approved in two days to see the surgeon, so hopefully nothing slows up the process.I am also leaning towards the RNY surgery, just from the research I have been looking in to. I want what is going to be best for me. Well that's all for now.

be patient little grasshopper

I kept telling myself this today since, I totally have no patience at all. I had my first visit with Dr. McDevitt, I see him in a month, I have my appt with the nutritionist and exercise whatever i cant remember exactly the name, but that appt is in two weeks. I have to be on a no carb diet and keep a food diary as well as purchase a podometer to count my steps, this is going to be sooooo fun. Atleast I'm telling myself that to stay positive. Hopefully I get my psych appt scheduled, I'm getting the run around with tricare as to if I need a referral for that appt or not. Once the appts are done I can go to the next step. Hope everyone enjoys there holiday weekend.

Today was not a good day, I went to my seminar and now I'm more confused about what surgery to have than ever. I have an appointment with my dr wednesday, hopefully, I figure out what is best.

My Story

I'm RacQuell I'm 23 from Charleston, SC. I dont really have an excuse for being this size,  I like food, preferrably chinese. I have started many diets, but have not sticked to any of them for over a month, I have not mastered diet and exercise, consistently, so I am the process of getting my surgery approved for lapband. Everything is going so far so good, I have my first appointment with Dr. McDevitt on Wednesday Nov 23,2011. I hope the holidays do not affect the progress of my surgery. I want this done by new years, if possible. I'm a very confident fat girl, it hasn't really bothered me much about my weight, I have always been accepted. I have the best friends,an awesome wardrobe and a supportive husband , but being overweight is not healthy and to some extent I think it is holding me back. I'm tired of shopping online and making things work, I want to walk in a store and buy whatever I want. I want to travel and be able to fit whereever I need to be.So I'm ready to make a change.
