John L. Coon, M.D., Dr. Coon is wonderful. Seems very concerned and makes sure he answers all my questions. Love his bedside manners. When I first started this journey and had to get all the paperwork together so they could forward to my insurance for approval...there was couple of individuals that were very lazy and rude. Kind of acted like I was putting them out because I expected them to do there job. There was one lady..that was wonderful.
Now that I have been approved by my insurance and am working on the scheduling, preop and soon to be operation...that staff is wonderful. So overall with only one glitch...I would have to say...so far pretty GREAT.
I dont have lizards

sure if I want any

I posted on the 12 Jul 08, I was happy to be home. Well that stay did not last long. I ended back in the hospital on 14th had emergency surgery on 15th and was just released yesterday!!!!!! Now let me tell you....I am sure glad to be home. Feeling much better. They told me I am very lucky to be here. For some reason not sure why (that %) my surgery just did not take. I ended up with a horrible infection and something about the stomach not staying in tack. This time I feel much better and much more postitive. Missed you all. Good luck and God Bless to all of you. In this whole mess I have lost 19lbs...so that is a good thing.

I am home...and so happy. I am so glad I went through with it, I was so close to changing my mind but ....stayed strong and did it. I weighed when I got home and lost 8 lbs. I am very happy with that. Thanks all for the support.
Okay I am almost there, very excited but so scared. I have been doing nothing but crying off and on all day. I know it is the right thing for me but I can't help thinking about the what if's....I check in tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. and then my new journey starts. Please say a bunch of prayers for me!!!!!!
The fear is really starting to settle in....I was just sitting here this morning and started crying for no reason what so ever...but I think it is just the unknown, what if's etc., I feel I am doing the right thing but I am so scared. I look at my kids and tears just come....I just want to stop hurting physically and mentally and I feel this is the way to do it..but I just want the fear to stop. I feel like I am not prepared enough etc., Please pray for me and my family.
I am feeling much better today. I have a lot of nerves and fear as my time is drawing near but my parents are coming around.
They were not very happy with my decision to have this surgery but they took me to dinner last night and told me they loved me and will support me in this decision. They are just scared...what if? I feel much better because I am very close to my parents and don't want to feel like I am/have let them down.
I also am so happy with this website and all the support I am getting from everyone.
Thanks a bunch.
Hi my name is Kelly and I am a proud mother of two. My daughter is 17 and son is 15. I have a wonderful husband and just a wonderful family. My problem is I have always had a weight problem. I know deep down inside I am a good person (mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and employee but I just do not like what I see in the mirror. I have thought about having this surgery a few times but was never heavy enough. Well believe me I am there now. I started my journey on April 10th and am now having surgery July 9th. Can't wait. I am JUST SO READY TO LOVE THE INSIDE AND OUT OF KELLY!!
