Surgeon Testimonial

Patrick White
My first impression of Dr. White is that he is very quite, also that he care very much about his clients and he doesn't just do the surgery for the money he wants to make sure that you are really pre pared for the surgery. Kathy (his head nurse) is absolutely onderful along with the other ladies in the office.

Well I know I haven't posted anything since my surgery but I've gotten really busy with everything going on in my life. Anyways, I'm down as of 5-14 I'm down a total of 80 lbs. I can't believe me of all ppl is down 80 lbs. I guess hard work does pay off. My doctor is amazed at how much I've lost and his assistant Kathy is exstactic about my loss she said that I've lost 34% of my body weight already and that is fantastic!! I didn't really beleive that I've lost so much until I looked and the before and after phots the same ones that I've posted on here too. I also went to Wal*Mart last week and bought myself 2 yes I said 2 pairs of pants and they were a size 26 W and OMG I haven't been able to that size in about 5-6 years before I was pregnant was the last time I remember wearing that size. I can't beleive how well this is working out for me!! I'm just as happy as happy as can be!!!

Since surgery
on February 17, 2008 10:03 am
Well lets see since I'm still getting over everything then I guess I'll just try to blirt it out....what better way to type........Here goes

Day 1~tuesday~ I was in the hospital still in the moring but I also was very excited to pass that popcisle test (man it was good to have something cold and wet in my mouth it was SOOOOO dry) and my surgeon Dr. White said that I could go on clear liquids! At that time I was still excited that my mouth wasn't so dry anymore....lol by the after noon time I got to eat jello and rape juice kinda had to for my syself to eat the jello cause I wasn't that hungry. by 4 in the afternoon I decedied I wanted to go home so I was then discharged. The only problom I had gooing home is man it was bumpy because of all the snow (I didn't realize it but I had left in the middle of a snow storm) then I went home had some more jello for dinner it was a little better because I liked the flavor and I actually felt hungry and by this time I've become really gassy and burpy! then I went to bed

Day 2~wednesday~ I woke up and started my instant breakfast treat for the day. ended up just haveing that the entire day (but then agian that's all I was allowed to have) still trying to firgure out how to drink my water in for the day cause at this time my stomach would cramp up everytime I took a drink of water. (it was actually more quite weird than painfull) Today I was moving around the house a lot better. I decieded to go to the movie store to rent some movies with the family. and you know what I had NO PROBLEMS! which was great! we went home I watched a movie and then went to bed

Day 3 ~thursday~ sstarted on my creay foods I had CoCo wheats for breakfast today didn't really want to eat though. that is one of my problems right now I don't really want to eat when I supposed to. I drank my water for the day still trying to figure out how I'm supposed to drink it. and I'm back to being gassy and burpy but still not to where it bothers me. and I took a little walk cause I'm not wanting to over do it (cause I still have the drainage tube in)

Day 4 ~friday~ boy was this day a BAD day but that's only because I had to go to court and ended up slipping down a flight of stairs where they took me to the hospital and checked everything out so then I'm very sore from that and back to not wanting to move agian. and on this day of course at the hospital the weighed me (yes I cheated I peaked I lost 7 llbs already!!! at this point I'm down to 405) but that was like the only good news of the day!

Day 5 ~ Saturday~ man it was a painfull day because of the tumble down the stairs but I knew I had to get up and move around I made all of my own meals this day and actually drank over half the amount of fluids I'm supposed to drink. today was actually a great day I walked to the corner and back and played with my miin pin Princess (min pin= Miniature Pinchser)

Day 6 ~Today Sunday~ nothing much yet to report today doing really good I ate breakfast and now I'm about to go make lunch and eat that....

I know it's been a while since I've typed in here agian I know....I've been trying to do my best about rescheduling I ended up not being able to go to the support groupd meeting this month because my car wasn't legal and I wasn't able to go. I've been trying to keep up with school and making sure that my dad is okay......al that we know of right now is that he has a baker's cyst on his knee he still has to see the specialist they aren't to sure abotu what's going on with him in that section.....another thing is that so far that I know of Joey is doing okay about the procedure (he is my other half and my hubby either way you look at it we're together) I think we're going to have a lunchin with someone that has already had there surgery by dr white as soon as the car gets legal agian......I started towrking agian cause we had to have money start to come in...I just hope that everything else goes great next month I only have 5 weeks to the day and I will have my surgery done....My grandparents and parents and other family are excited agian....Well things will happen this time or at least I hope so....Talk to all you lovely ppl soon

My Story

Well let's see here where should I begin? I guess as far back as I can remember .....

I remember all growing up I've always been fat. I started getting mad fun of when I was in second grade. It really got bad when I was in third grade, I remember there was this one kid who was like the ring leader of them all, (and later on down the road I found out his sister was fat too so I didn't never understand why he made fun of me) I haven't ever forgotten about him making fun of me. I didn't understand why I was fat anyway I was in sports then I did track and feild I did a lot of things but by the time I made it to 7 & 8 grade I stopped all that. I also remember being so big in 6th grade that I actually went the entire year wearing only dresses and skirts! cause I couldn't find any cloths (pant wise) that would fit me! Still to this day I try not to wear dresses because I feel I was traumatized from that. I was coming home crying some days because of being made fun of so bad.....I know being made fun of has made me a better person but I'm not going to go and thank them for giving me hell all my life! I hit high school and I had a couple of friends that we always went and did everything with each other except shop I mean we went and got cloths for them cause of course they could find cloths but not me. I graduated high school (which was a task to do cause I didn't ever want to go I was tired of being picked on.) I had a boyfriend when I graduated (which was funny cause he was my best friends cousin) It was suprising he actually like me being fat weird I know. I got pregnant 6 months after graduation on my 19 birthday and nine months later I had my beautiful little girl on September 9, 2003
I have been working the entire time now all the time trying diffrent diets here and there to try and loose weight. I've even tried throwing my food back up but I have no gag reflex so I couldn't make myself sick. I've been staying at a steady 395-410 since the birth of my daughter.  I'm in school now at Davis College and I'm going for my Medical Assistant degree. I'm find I can still make friends being fat but I also know being this big isn't good for me and my body. I'm still with the man I was with when I graduated it's been 5 years now, and he still loves me how I am. I'm happy for what I have but I will be much happier when I'm able to do a lot more things that I want to do with my daughter.
