Toby Broussard, M.D. I met my surgeon on 10/19/06 & he is super nice & I am so looking forward to working with him on my way to a healthier me! He is so extremely nice & truly cares about his patients well being & after talking to him for a few minutes it's like we have been buds forever..He is so encouraging already & I have now have all my pre-op stuff done. Now all I have to do is lose 15 more pounds! I am struggling with that :*(
I'm going to
weightwise on the
10th & hopefully I
will have lost
enough to have the
surgery..Gastric
bypass..I am having
such a hard time
losing the weight..
I am feeling a bit
discouraged..
Well I'm back at work ..Had my dr visits at weight wise & at my sleep apnea dr as well..I gained 2 pounds..but it may be water weight & since I had to cancel last appointment & was without the diet food & I have also been off my high blood pressure meds for over a month..BUT I have that now all taken care of so it should not be a problem in the future...Dr. Imes who takes care of my sleep apnea changed my high blood pressure meds to benecar with diuretic & put me on Provigil for excessive sleepiness..I have nodded off while driving but caught myself. But the pescription is $200 so now I am going to call the company to see if they have a program to help people who do not have prescription coverage. I have taken it & it helped me so much! I feel so much better when I take it so I will be paying whatever it takes to have it because when I take it..I feel like a million bucks!
I am disappointed at the 2 pound gain..Seems like I will never lose the weight I need to lose...So depressing....
Below is a praise report on Mackenzie! SHE IS CANCER FREE! PRAISE BE TO GOD...HE IS OUR HEALER!
HE IS HEALING KALEB AS WE SPEAK! PLEASE VISIT MACK'S PAGE! She is an ACE YOUNG FAN JUST LIKE ME!
She got to meet Ace! I'm so jealous! Please lift Mack & Kaleb in your prayers!
We knew the healing was done in the spirit... but today, the healing is done in the flesh!!! Praise the Lord, you have just been a part of a miracle! Against all odds, statistics and every doctors prediction, the leukemia has PERISHED!!!!! There was no leukemia found in Mack's marrow today and healthy cells were seen emerging. Engraftment is occuring and it is just a matter of time before Mack's counts come up. God is good! "The healing is done!" He has spoken!!! We are completely floored!!!!! There are no words to describe the power and might of our great God! His faithfulness is mind boggling! We still have a long way to go, but we are greatful that the path is still before us and it hasn't abruptly ended. Continued prayers for protection from infections and protection of all Mack's organs as they have so much to process. And prayers for the new cells to continue to engraft and multiply providing new life in these new cells!!!! Wow, my mind is going in so many directions right now. How can I not fall to my knees and praise the Lord? Join me in praising Him! More tomorrow. With love and gratitude, Amy
