Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Carter, M.D.
My surgeon will be Dr. Edjay who is working along with Dr. Carter. When I met Dr. Ehjeh at the wls seminar I was so impressed with her. She just make you feel so relaxed and will patiently answer all your questions. Believe me I had a lot of questions!

I Made It
on March 3, 2008 10:11 am
Well I haven't posted since my surgery because I was feeling ill. But today Is a good day.  Well I had my surgery on the 7th of February and when I opened my eyes and looked around and saw my family and then touched my body I screamed within myself (PRAISE THE LORD)  Now the process begins.....everything the brought in to eat (what little that was) I could not tolerate it. Nothing wanted to stay down. I passed the leak test so what could it be.  My thoughts was well maybe I have to get use to my new pouch

I was discharge from the hospital on the 9th.  Everything was expelling out of my body from every exit point there was. Nothing was going in.  When I woke up early Monday morning and what little protein I had inside protruded out of my mouth that was it.  We called the doctor and he told me to immediately come into his office.  From there I was re-admitted. After a few test they discovered I had an obstruction in my small intestine. On Feb the 7th I was in the operating room again to correct the problems.  Honestly during the time I was very sick I regretted the decision I made to have the surgery. But now that I am feeling better I don't feel that way now.  Well let me take that back and say I only feel some regrets when I am drinking those horrible protein shakes and trying to figure out what will my stomach tolerate

FAITH
on February 3, 2008 2:28 pm

WHEN FAITH IS IN OPERATION IN YOUR LIFE YOU CAN CONQUER ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have maintained a high level of faith every since I received my surgery date.  It has brought me to a knew level in life.  I knew that the week of surgery I would hear a lot of comments that could cause me fear about having surgery.  So I am prepared myself for those remarks.  Nothing will rock my faith, I am determined to go forward.  If God speak to me and say not to proceed with surgery then  it will be so. BUT!!!  I would have to know for sure that it is Him!!

WHAT GOD HAS FOR ME IT'S FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't have a surgery date because
on December 11, 2007 4:26 pm
I am approved for surgery by my insurance company. I thought that was a big hurdle!  Wait a minute I can't get a surgery date because I have to wait for another patient to be approved also. So they can schedule two at the same time.  I never knew that my surgery would be predicated upon another patients insurance outcome.  What if they get a denial and have to go through the appeal process...........do I have to take that ride with them? I really like my doctor and his staff.  I don't  understand this policy. Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to seek another doctor?

I now understand why I lack any emotions after hearing that I was approved by my insurance company.  It was the peace of God that came over me.  The knowing that everything is going to be awesome.  I guess it's just like when you were a baby and momma said it would be alright, you took her word and never gave it a second thought.  That' is what my experience is now. I have that child like faith.........................

My Story




I am a 46 yrs and the proud mother of two adult children ages 25 and 20. Yes! Yes!  They are grown.

It is no fun being over weight.  The smile I wear on my face by no means tells what is really going on inside of me.  I have high self esteem in public but behind closed doors at home that is a different story. I wonder how many people wear a mask like me! A lot I can imagine and some don't have weight issues.

The statement I dislike the most is "BUT YOU HAVE SUCH A PRETTY FACE". What are you really saying to me......cause anything after the word but doesn't count. Does anyone know what I mean?  Suppose I were to say "BUT YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LEFT EYE" Isn't it possible I could have said you are a beautiful person without using the word but and focusing on one particular part of your body.   Maybe it's just me!  LOL
