Update 2 months and one week out on April 26, 2010 1:02 pm
well y'all it has been a ride and if anybody would have told me you can go through what i have been going through i probably would have not had the surgery i have been regretting it since i got hospitalized with the hematoma in my stomach i have not been able to stop throwing up stomach bile i am giving you the details cause i want you guys to know the truth not just the good i have e been nauseated for over a good month now and almost hospitalized again today because of the nausea and vomiting i still cannot eat regular food my primary Dr put me back on a liquid diet today but i don't have a problem because it has been like i have always been on it since the surgery i did start to where i could eat fruit only and not regular food only certain fruits and i was good then the raglan i was taking for the nausea stop working and made my legs feel like they were not there i am so tired of feeling sick i thought this surgery was to make me get better i was not this sick before the surgery i would like to know if any one else has gone through this and how long it lasted and what medicine combos did you try some thing to get me through this mess.

 Hi everyone i had pre op today and met with the nutritionist and was ready to leave out that was alot of information and mentally i dont know if i was ready to absorb it my body tells me i am ready but my nerves and my mind is saying other wise i think it is because I am thinking of how you basically are a baby again with out infant formula instead 15 oz water i am getting more nervous and ready to call it off day by day but i pray that i can handle this and when the Dr tell you all the bad stuff it makes you want to hit the gas in your car and get the hell out of there as fast as you can there was a couple of time i was thinking about it but i stayed and tough it out i am so nervous and because I was even nervous today my blood pressure showed it. | Leave a comment.

yippee on December 20, 2009 9:42 am
I finally got the letter from the psychiatrist I talked to the surgeons office and was told that it would take about a week to get approval but I have to have another consult with the surgeon on febuary 4th 2010 and redo some of the blood work that i had previously done i am just glad that at least that part is over and i am hoping that since it only takes a week or two to get approval then since i have an appointment at least 2 months from now then maybe that could be my surgery date because i am so ready for this i have made a decision to change from rny to lapband or realize band. my doctor helped me in this decision to make the change. plus i seen someone whom has had rny and someone whom has had lapband and the difference in the 2 lap band person looks better to me my opinion. lol 
Also i have not been in the best of moods my brother in law died earlier this week and we have to travel for christmas instead of being with y family will will be traveling on christmas my brother in law was 14 years old it is sad i am hurt inside because you know i have had my battle with cancer and tinking i wish it could have been me instead of him

more drama on September 25, 2009 6:48 pm
today i got a coll from the place i went to for counseling to say they faxed my records and called to my psychiatrist office and no one returned there call when i called to the doctors office no one answered the phone so i then i called back to the place that i was counseled to make sure they sent the proper documents cause i was told this morning there was no record of the counseling And I even agreed to re do it to no resolution i got tossed from person to person til i end up signing up for group therapy never the less if that is what it takes then i will do it my surgeons office is saying i only have a little more time before i have to do all the prop testing over again i could do it but one this is preventing me from wanting to do it the arterial blood gas hurts so bad to me the other stuff was a breeze . i will keep you guys posted on the drama as my world turn in the day of my life.

nothing much but getting frustrated on September 18, 2009 2:59 pm
time is passing by quickly and my dr seems to be moving slower i really cant believe it comes down to my pschiatrist holding me up from something i want to do it is my decision not his and i am really mad that this is the freakin hold up for almost 8 months now it is my life and my body and if i want to do something them i should be able to i would nderstand and not be so pissed if it was my pcd (primary care doctor) but it is my pschiatrist as you can see i am really mad what happened to freedom seems hat i cannot make my own deciion here i wish they would so away withthe psychiatrist portion all togethor. i think i would have been at least approved and waiting on the date or maybe approved and through surgery already. i will keep you posted thanks for all the friend request and your prayers and kind words.

SORRY FOR THE THEIVERY BUT I HAD TO HAVE IT
What I Won't Miss:
1. Having people call me “big mama.”
2. Seeing the looks on the people’s faces that I knew from high school.
3. Having family tell me I’ve gained a lot of weight.
4. Taking pictures from the head up, only.
5. Having bras cut into my sides.
6. My feet and ankles hurting when I stand up.
7. Legs hurting when I walk or try to climb stairs
8. Being out of breath from walking.
9. My back killing me during the day.
10.Waking up in the middle of the night from back pain.
11.Feeling exhausted all the time.
12.Always being sleepy.
13.Not finding any cheap stylish clothes my size.
14.Having clothes from when I was smaller that I just don’t want to throw out.
15.Not fitting my favorite top.
16.Getting evil looks from the person next to me on the plane or bus.
17.Feeling self conscious about how I look.
18.Not being able to cross my legs. (I don't remember ever being able to do this)
19.My fingers and toes being swollen.
20.Having to spend more money than thinner people on my clothes
21.Having men avoid eye contact with me.
22.Not being able to give myself a pedicure comfortably.

24.My shoes being too tight on my feet.
25.Having to wear flats instead of high heals.
26.Feeling like I need a fork lift to get out of the bathtub
27.Having people at a pool stare at me.
28.Being treated like I can't do anything athletic by small people.
29.People saying “you’re so soft, I just want to hug you.”
30.Not being able to see my feet.
31.Looking at pictures and not recognizing myself.
32.Having people say "you’re pretty for a big girl."
33.Using the big girls stall in the bathroom (aka handicap stall)
34.Having my breasts be a net for my food.
35.Having the bath water only cover half of my body.
36.Avoiding all cameras
37.Dreading my jeans in the drier, because you know it's going to be smaller when it comes out.
38.Taking blood pressure medicine.
39.Distant family members thinking its ok to comment on my weight gain.
40. Buying Big Beach Towels and using them as a regular towel.
41. Always wearing my business shirts untucked. I look like a fool with them tucked in.
42. Being called "lil mama"
43. Being told you aint big

well i had my psychiatric evaluation today  in a way i dont think he is gonna approve the wls because i was sexually abused when i was a child 3 times and according to him people or young ladies in my situation become obese so that men wont be attracted to me and he thinks if i have wls that once i loose the weight men will be more or more men will be atrracted to me and i will go crazy but that is not the case at all i use to have some resentment toward men but i realy dont feel that way any more to a certain extent it is according to how they the men come at me like i was told once before is you gone let me get that or am i gonna have to take it shit like that scares me and i go into a depressed and scared reality but after all that i went through who would not be afraid well i hope that he approves me for wls yall my family pray for me i really want to do this for me and my family and my health ya heard

well today is a new day and i feel better than yesterday i want to thank all those who made me feel better by reponding to my blog by email or comment. I especially wanna think my brother in-law. He has been such a big help in my life i just wish that my sister will treat him right, before he leave. cause she dont act right he is tring to take care of her and she act like she scared of him but it is alittle late to be scared she is pregnant from him he ask all the time do she want something or what she need these youngins' these days got issues i just understand when you have someone trying to take care of you you give thm your butt to kiss maybe one day she will grow up the baby is still doing good my other sister she has or talks to a young man that i really dont like je has not done anything to me but it is just a feeling or a vibe i really dont like about him today has been a pretty good day.

i want to find a dr and at least get in for a consult that is not so far fo me to drive cause i have 2 infants now and my husband cannot drive for right now believe it or not when we met hed had suspended licnce and was doing good not driving till the kidney stone pain hit me and i could not even get up and walk i had to crawl as far asi could and him (my husband) and my brother had to carry me to the car once on they way to the hospital we got pulled over by the police they took my husband to jail for driving on a suspended license and called an ambulance to get me,
in turn i had to pay about 1000 dollars for the ambulance ride 100 dollars to get my husband out of jail plus a 3 day hospital stay in turn the officer said i am just doing my job and i said to him my husband is doing his job by getting me where i need to be he then replied he could have just called the amblance i replied no he couldn't have i dont have money to pay for an ambulance when it is less than 1/2 mile from my house to the hospital we were stopped about 75 feet from the hospital entrance and i paid 1000 dollars just to ride 75 feet well make that 1100 cause somebody had to go bail my husband out but to make a long story short he now is a convicted felon for driving on a suspended licence so i have to drive him everywhere inless some one in my family does so iif and when i have surgery i need it to be not that far so he can catch a ride to and from work while i am gone and then someone can pick me up and he can come see me i have never done a day stay well i have but it has always ended up being a more than a day stay
