My new life ... I have been fat all my life ,growing up I was always the fat child in my family. My Doctor is the one that talked about the surgey and I told her to give me one years to see if I could do it on my on. The year had pass and I had gain weight so I wanted  to talk to the Doctor about the surgey and that was in February and he said that I was a good person for the surgey, because I had all the things wrong with me for the sugery.

My surgey dated was on Jun 13,2006

The surgey was about 1:45min and every thing was good.

Four weeks befor the surgey I had to do a liquid diet and the first two weeks I lost 30pds and the next two weeks I lost 20 more and my doctor said I was realy for the surgey.

The next month it was July and I had lost ten more and that was a total of 60pds and I was feeling good about myself. I was losting at lest 2 or 3pds a week and my doctor said that was good. 

The next month I was back at work and I was still doing good as for as my eating my six small meals and I was still lost my weight. The peolpe on my job had stated to look at me and see that I was losting my weight some of them had good things to say and others had very bad things to say about me. I just want to know why people can't be happy for you when you are trying  to do somthing good for your life!!.  I just want to live to see my son grow up to be a man what is so wrong about bettering  youself.

September and October was very good too I stared to walk alot more and my weight was still comeing off very good I had lost 20 more pds and that was a total of 80pds and my doctors was very happy to see it was still come off so good.

The next month it was November and I had to see both of my doctors, because the doctor that did my surgey was off the week I sould have see him so I had to see them on the same day. The doctor that did my surgey was very happey to see that I was still doing good and he said I could join a gym. My other doctor said that I was still doing good and that I had lost a total of a 104pds and that was very good. I told her that my other doctor said I could join the gym and she was glad too.  I will stared this month January I still walk and I still eat my six small meals too. As of today on 1/8/07.

I have lost 165pds and I feel good I would be at my Goal but the lose skin is making it hard for me do what i want  as for as working out. I just take it one day at a time now. My Insurance is give me a hard time because they don't want to pay for the surgey to remove the skin so i will just keep on trying untill they paid for it. I can wear a 12/14 in skirt and I wear a 16/18 in paints my shirt are a 14/16 if I did't have this skin I know I would be in a 12 and a 16 but the skin need to be in the next side because it hurt me when I put somthing on to tight.  So as of today I'm 215 or 225 my weight keeps on going up and down and i know it is because I can not work out like I want too. I will keep you up with me in the next months so please keep me in your prays ok. Your Friend Renee..... I know God will see me throught this because with out him I'm know one.....Living and Loving life that is "Me"....Renee!!!

   Apirl 5 ,2008  I have tryed to have my surgary for my skin to be remove but my Insuranes has denied me I don't know why but i will find out because this skin is hurting me when I work out and I don't know what I have to do for them to paid for this.  They take so much money out of my check for me and my son but when I need them they are not there for me. I have lost 15pd and I have 10 more to lost and I will be at my goal weight and that is 200 or lest i want to be out  of the 200 hunderd by the summer and I know i can do this I 'm back on the right truck now . I do thank god evey day for this surgery because it save my life and gave me a new one that I live for and do thing with my son. The attention that I get now it make me smile because I have never had this befor when I was 380 the man did not look at me like they do now it is very funney and sad to at the same time because I'm still me just a little smaller. I hope the Insurances co will paid for this in the end because I will keep pusting for this evertime I go see my Docter I will be tell her that the skin is still hurting me and what can she do to help me get the surgery I know it is a way and she will help me because she said I have come to far to give up now.  I will be back on soon to tell you what is the next move for me. I hope all is well with my OH Family.!! I have new Pictures out her too! I can now wear a 16 but I don't like my cloths that tight on me so I get a 18 in paints and I can wear a 12 now in tops but with the skin on my arms I always buy a 14 now because I don't like it tight because of the skin it does not feel good to me.  I will write back soon your truly Renee....Living and Loving life!!!
