I am married mom of 3 boys.  I have been overweight most of my life.  It started when I was in high school.  But I was always little overweight as a child.  I have been struggling with weight loss efforts to no avail.  I have debated about wls for a long time and finally decided to go for it!!  I am so glad I did.  It has been a learning experience I have to say.  Lots of bad habits to break but it will all be worth it in the end.

My first race- 10 mile black fly in my eye trail race
on June 29, 2009 3:46 am


I completed my first race ever.  And it was a 10 mile trail race.  The Black Fly in My Eye 10 mile trail race at Great Glen trails New Hampshire.  The weather held out and it was nice out.  I am so excited that I did this.  A year ago I never imagined running like this.   Now I am a runner!!!  I love it!!! I finished in 15th place with a time of 1 hr 48 mins.  The race was tough.  They had us running on carriage roads, up single trail mountain trails that were quite muddy.  We also had to cross a small river at the end.  It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again next year!!!!

One year ago today!!!

I had my one year follow up today.  Exactly one year ago today I had my RNY.  My life has changed so much.  I am happy and healthy.  I have lost 101 lbs.  I am a runner now and this summer I am doing a 10mile trail race and a triathalon.  I really excited about both of these.  All of this is possible because of my RNY! 
I have so much more confidence and my self esteem is better.  My family is very happy.  My husband and I are closer now than we ever have been.  He is even losing weight now too and running with me. 
People do not recognize me often.  I did not really see that much of a difference until they gave me my before and after photos today.  I am so amazed at the transformation.  I do not even recognize the person I used to be and I never want to be her again.

Approved!!

After being denied by the insurance company, Crystal worked her magic and I am APPROVED!!!!  I have no idea how she did it.  They initially denied me because my BMI was not over 40 for 3 years.    I am scheduled for 5/14/08.  I can't wait to be on that losers bench!!!

2/27/08 Information sent for insurance approval
on February 27, 2008 1:21 pm

After starting this process in June with my family doctor, seeing Dr. Loggins in August, I am finally almost done.  My insurance required 6 months of physician directed weight loss effort.  I lost 36 lbs!!!!  Now I just wait for insurance approval.
