Surgeon TestimonialWilliam Chapman M.D.My first impression of Dr. Chapman was that he was very informative, kind and answered all of our questions.
His staff is always so helpful when I call, millions of times with millions of questions. |

Hai My OH Family!
I know that I haven't been good at posting like I should, but I will try yo do better. Well, normally I try not to weigh myself until my check ups, but yesterday I was in a car accident, I am okay, just a little sore, I went to the ER and while I was there I decided to weigh my self. I am happy to say that I am at 302.7 lbs now. Yeah Me, Yeah God! I was all sad about the accident because I love big cars. I had found a 1994 Buick Roadmaster that I was planning on taking my time to fix up and I had just bought it in March and now this. But when I stepped on that scale, I was toooooooo excited. I then realized that everything happens for a reason. They say that my axle and differential (?) is bent. And I am glad that I and everyone are okay. God has something better in store for me. He is AWESOME! Be blessed Everyone.

Checkin' in. on May 1, 2008 6:41 pm
Hello Everyone!
I hope that all is well with my OH Family! Well, everything is fine with me. The Lord saw fit to let me see another day and I am SOOOOO GLAD that He did! I have just recently lost 2 friends from my childhood, people are leaving this world so young behind "craziness," it is so sad. At any rate, I haven't weighed myself in a while, I try not to until I go for my checkups(next ones in June)I did try on some size 22 pants,almost ! I have to work on these big thighs and this "pregnant with no baby in it" belly of mine. I am really thinking about a tummy tuck in the future if I can't pull it together. Pray for me. Take care everyone and Be Blessed!

3 Month Check Up. on March 31, 2008 4:02 pm
Hello Everyone!
I know that I have been very bad about posting. I can say that I finally added some pictures to my page. I went in for my 3 month check up today, I lost another 28 lbs. Yeah me!  I need to get on the ball with execising more. Right now I am only walking, I need to start doing more so that I can tone as I lose and lose a little more. Well, I am still very excited about the weight loss though. Thats a total of 63 lbs in 3 months! I would never have done this on my own, I thank God for this wonderful gift that he has given me. I feel like a new person. My husband told me the other day that it has been a long time since he has seen me smile as much as I do now. God is soo good! I just thank Him, I thank Him, I thank Him! Thank you my OH Family for all of the encouraging stories and beautiful pictures. Be Blessed Everyone!

Hello Everyone! on February 2, 2008 3:45 pm
I am sorry that it 's been a long time since I have updated. I have been going through so much. Not really any major complications with the surgery, just emotional complications. No one warned me about that. I have been on an " emotional roller coaster." It is so hard for me not to do anything, I guess I should be happy that my family is helping me and not allowing me to do anything, but when you are the one that is used to doing everything, it's hard to just sit back. At my two weeks check up, I had lost 35 lbs. I ended in the hospital because I became dehydrated a few days before my one month check up, when I went in I had not lost any weight so I was a little upset. My doctor assured me that it was because of all of the fluids that they had to put in me. I am at 354lbs. My next appointment is March 27th, my doctor wants at around 320 lbs by then, my personal goal is 300 lbs. I am having so much trouble drinking, I think it is because I have to sip. I love ice water, so it is hard for me not to gulp. Well, how long do I have to wait before I can drink normally? I though that I would be worried about the eating but I'm good on that, I am more concerned about the drinking, especially water. Be Blessed!

My Story 
I am 33 years old and like most people that are overweight, I have been struggling with my weight since I was young. The smallest that I ever remember being was 200 lbs and that was when I was 14 or 15 years old. I have tried so many diets and even went to Physicians Weight Loss Center. I had a membership at Ballys and other gyms. I have 4 boys ages 18,14, 5 and 4. I have been married for 5 years. I want to see my boys grow up, finish college, get married and I want to RUN with my grandchildren, something I can not do now.
I was glad when I found out about ObesityHelp.com because it felt good to see that there are other people like me that can give me advice and encouragement. I come from a family of skinny people who have never been big and love to tell me how to lose weight. I feel that if you don't know what I've been through, its hard for you to tell me how to get through it. The stories and the Before and After photos give me assurance that I can make it through this with some support.
