Hi, everyone
I have been introduced to this site by a friend(Trina) and now have become an addict.
I'm hoping this site will educate and support me on the surgery I hope to have in the near future.

HIS MERCY ENDURES FOR EVER
on September 4, 2008 6:19 am

GOD IS GOOD!! NOT THAT I DESERVE HIS BLESSING BUT BECAUSE OF WHO HE IS AND HIS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. GOD HAD SHOWN FAVOR UNTO ME.

I WILL BE HAVING MY SURGERY IN DEC. I HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN A SPECIFIC DATE, BUT DEC. HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.

THINGS HAVE MOVING SO FAST. IT TRUE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, "YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT".  WELL HONEY I ASKED AND I RECEIVED.  THIS WEBSITE IS A GOD SENT. 

I WAS TALKING WITH TIFFANY (MRS. TIPPYTOES) AND SHARING MY FRUSTRATION, ABOUT HAVING TO START MY SUPERVISED DIET ALL OVER AGAIN. WELL TIFFANY GAVE MY INFO ON HER SURGERY AND THE BALL STARTED ROLLING FROM THERE.  I CHECKED HIM OUT ON THE WEB, WENT TO HIS SEMINAR A WEEK LATER AND WAS IN THE SURGEONS OFFICE THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE SURGEONS OFFICE SET ME UP A DOCTOR WHO COULD ASSIST ME...... LONG STORY SHORT I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY CLEARANCE FOR MY  SURGERY IN DECEMBER.  THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN ONE MONTH.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST THINGS ARE MOVING. THE SAYING IS TRUE " IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW IT'S WHO YOU KNOW"  

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.

I got the Victory
on February 15, 2008 5:42 pm

 The devil is trying to destory me and my family, but he is a liar. I know he comes to steal, kill and destory and yall is doing a number on us. I can't talk now, but I know that part of his plan is to stress me out and make me forget about having WLS, but yall he better get away from me. I was blind and away for the ark of safety, but isn't it funny how we know how to run home when in trouble and God is there yet again welcoming you. I have never had a battle this big, but GOD words stands "he'll never leave nor forsake you".  If I have never stood on God's words I am standing now. The devil thoughgt he had me, but I'm getting away. One day I will be able to share my testimony, but right now just pray. I will not be chatting for awhile....just not in the mood. Pray for me and my family that things will pass over soon.

A Sad Day
on December 14, 2007 6:49 am
Today is a trying day. My best friend Tameak passed away on April 13, 2007 and her mom just passed  away this morning Dec. 14, 2007. I know the Lord does not make mistakes. But how, is my question? How am I suppose to say good bye again. This is so hard. One of positive out looks is that Tameka now has her mom with her. And I now have Three angels routing for me and supporting me with this surgery. My Dad Kenneth Leo Russell,  Ms.Tameka Flucker and Mrs.Sharon Flucker
I don't understand. It's seems the ones who are so special are the ones the Lord plucks first, this makes things so much harder. I now ask the Lord for strength and understanding, but most of all a peace that surpasses all understanding.  I now send a special prayer to the Flucker family. Especailly Mr. Flucker, to lose a daughter and wife with in a eight months time. I can't began to comprehend his sorrow and pain. I think job in the bible could be the only one to relate.
 
I know I have to stay focus and continue on my journey. Not only for myself, but to have my biggest supporters cheering in heaven.

My Story

HI, my name Kendra Kidd-Russell aka Pearl. 
My story is complicated only because I complicate the matter. I want to lose weight and see that skinny person on the inside screaming to get out. I'm 31 yrs old, 5'6 and the last time I checked 393, but I'm sure by now I'm 400 pds. I'm engaged and raising my soon to be step children clavin Jr. (7) and Blende-lasey (6). These children have brought so much joy into my life. 
I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT EXIST.
I have been dealing with my weight as long as I can remember. I have always been the girl with the pretty face. As a big girl and big person. You hear all types of comments, and at times I look at people and think; who the Hell are you taking too. 
For example:I was in a line at the bank and a older white gentleman look back and told me how beautiful I was. and if lost some weight, I would be a knock out. Ok. He started off right and went down the hill. 
Would he have said that to someone who has a face disfugurement? Your body is awesome and if they were to fix there face, everything would be complete. Somepeople are truly ignorate. What gives some people the nerve to talk to us like that. The sad part is that I didn't have the time or cutts to tell him off. I just smiled and nodded. I guess you become numb to the stares and comments.

Today is 8/31/07 it's 3:19 pm 
I'm about to leave school and so glad. I'm working in CSI this year. CSI is indoor suspension.
Anyway, the day wasn't bad. I don't mind tormenting teenagers who think they know everything. I call it my gift. LOL
I have been researching this site alot lately. There's a plethora of information on this site. I am just finding black america. Haven't decided if I like it yet.
I love finding people who have the same BM as I do, and better when they have the same insurance. I'm looking for any come ground as I start this process.
I contactd a nutritionist yesterday, she doesn't take my insurance. I plan on changing my Insurance from United health HMO3 to United health PPO. The PPO wil pay for my surgery  and I need that. I haven't decieded if I want to wait until my insurance has changed over in Oct., to see the nutritionist, or if I should just pay out of pocket. I only need 6 months of supervised diet history. Does united health PPO pay for nutritionist? OK I have some homework to do next week. Until next time
Have a happy Labor Day.
(please excuse the errors in my spelling, and some missed place words. When I write I ramble especially when I have alot to say)
