7/29/08---New Phys Visit Scheduled.... on July 29, 2008 9:01 am
Well I am going to see a new followup surgeon due to my Dr no longer accepting INS. I am scheduled to visit with Dr. G.Kerlakian. Hopefully things go well with him. I noticed my WL has slowed. I am currently at 195.5. and have been around this range for the last couple of weeks. U can tell from looking at my prev blog entries I am not loosing weight fast at all.
I am approximately 3months out & per my records I went from HIGHEST WEIGHT 256-195.5 =60.5 lbs. However, the Dr's office had on my online profile a starting weight: 252-195.5=56.5. However, they didn't record my WL the date of my surgery & I forgot to because I had so much going on. I know I had lost at least 10lbs prior to surgery. Either way that's not bad! I have at least 40-50 more lbs I would like to loose. I would love to see myself get to at least 175-160 in the next 4 months. I GUESS WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE!!

K everyone. I am down to 196lbs. I got the shock of my life. So the other day I called my Dr's office to see about setting up an appt for 3mo followup. They told me I would be chrgd $60, becuase my Dr no longer accepting INS!
I am flabbergasted. So now Im in search of a new followup Dr in tri-state region. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Also I am strongly considering some PS. Of course during my course of weight loss I have become saggy skin, but it's not horrible, but I definetly want it corrected & if possible have INS cover the cost of surgery. Any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks!
Hey Yall Happy July 16th 2008. I'm holding steady at 199lbs on July 16, 2008 2:26 pm
Well I am under the 200bwenchmark. I am down to 199. That may not mean anything to other people, but it means a hell of a lot to me! . I'm glad to say "MY TOOL IS WORKING FOR ME!" Recently I have become a shoe fanatic, but I have been staying away from clothes. I still have 50+lbs to go before I will fee comfortable about buying clothes. Besides I also want a tummy tuck because that’s the one thing that doesn't seem to be shrinking. I know, I know, I have to exercise to get rid of it, and now that I'm only an earlier shift I will try focusing on getting that done. But even still I don't think I will loose my gut, because it runs in my family.
Now I know what you're going to say, you don't know unless you try, and I AGREE! So I am.
Ok, now I have to tell yall this story. Last weekend I went to a BBQ at a co-workers house, right, and this girl there was complaining about gas. Now she wasn't big, but she damn't wasn't small. So after about 2-3 hrs of seeing her hop around to get rid of her gas, I finally had to ask her if she had surgery, since we were already on the subject about WLS, but she said "NO" do it look like I had surgery? And Yall, I so much wanted to say no, but u needs it if u haven't had it. Now mind you, the only reason why I was thinking his way is because we were already on the subject, and she had the audacity to say the surgery is bad for people, and that it doesn't work, etc... I started getting upset, because these overweight women who look like they needed surgery were saying so many negative things about the surgery, and people who've had it, so I got on the defense. Being a big-mouth, I let the cat out the bag, but said PROUDLY I had the surgery and it worked for me, and for those with negative things to say it's only because they don't know much about it, and until you've researched it, know more about it, or have had it please don't judge people who chose to have the surgery! Yall I was pissed at these women, cause after all the bullcrap we go through deciding/choosing to have the surgery and the effects of dealing with the life decision we've made you actually mean to tell me you still are judged by your same peers who may need to have the surgery! RIDICULOUS! I refuse to let unknowledable (if that's a word) speak on a subject that they have no clue!
Well the point to the story is I now embrace my tool. Cause rather it be 1-2lbs I thank GOD for have given me another chance to do better with my life, kids, etc,
I promise you this tool will help you as it is helping me!
