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!

Well it has been a very long time since I have posted. Needless to say I did not have the surgery because of other complications. However I am back in the game again. I have decide to have lap band surgery, I feel this is the best surgery for me. The orginal doctor I had does not do lap band surgery so I had to switch. Dr Carter in Fayetteville has a new doctor on board with him. How exciting for me because Dr. Ehjeh does lap band surgery. I am looking forward to this journey and their is no stopping now. Sometimes we want things to happen before our time. But God knows best. The year 2004 was not mine time but I believe 2007 to be my year. So as I travel this new journey I will post every step of the way in meeting my weight loss goal.

One last test to go!!   My psychological evaluation is the last test!  Guess what my insurance will pay for it.  I thought that would be a out of pocket expense.  That is why it took me so long to makae the appointment.  I don't know what the doctor will think, but I do know that I am ready mentally and physically. The one thing that I am dealing with concerns changing the type of surgery I will have. I have lupus and I am not sure if being banded for life is best procedure for me.  The complication I experience now are different then when I was first diagnosed. So I need to have another discussion with my doctor before my insurance paper is submitted.  I do know this "WITH GOD BEING IN CONTROL" I will choose the right surgery!

Back from my psych. eval. what a surprise the receptionist had it all wrong.....the insurance does not pay.  Thank God it was only $100.00. It took 40 minutes to feel out all the papers and the doctors assessment took maybe 15 minutes. 

I guess in about a week I will make another appointment to see Dr. Ehjeh.  Maybe my paper work can be submitted to my insurance company.  I hope there is no more testing!

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
