Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
Being Obese was a lifestyle I chose for myself. Though I was young and just ate what was given to me, as I grew older I learn what foods weren't good for me, but still ate them. I'm only 22 yrs old but as a teenager and even now it is still difficult to go out into the world without being judge just upon appearance. Dating does not exist in my life, which sucks cause I will like to date. To like someone who likes me back would be a dream come true. Every guy I've ever liked always thought I was a cool person and funny but not their type and I knew why cause I wasn't skinny. My family is very judgmental and or course what they say hurt, it's your family instead of supporting you and be there for you they're hurting you instead. It wasn't always hearing the...

OMG I Don't Know What To Do..
on July 15, 2012 5:58 pm
So I went to school for Medical Assistant December 2010 and finished October 2011, I couldn't find no work and then in June my aunt told me they were hiring at her job for the summer for teachers Aid.. I've have worked with kids before and I needed a JOB so of course I gave my resume and I got a call for a interview the next day. I got the JOB...They have fired about 8 people and are looking for employers and there is a high chance I will get hired to work there for the school yr.. And Of COURSE I will except if they ask..NOW HERES THE PROBLEM, they are very strict when it comes to attendance, they don't like when you call out not even when ur a minute late..Now the school is a school for blind children as well as other disabilities and you get pay a little more. and times are hard and I need the $$ Now I finished all my pre-op appointment and I get the results for my sleep study test next month.. I spoke to someone who is in charge of all the biatric department and she told me my surgery with be in September but she doesn't have a day yet until I get my results, But my aunt told me there is a chance that if I tell them I'm having surgery they might not give me the job I don't know what to do.. In October make a yr I've been going through this process and I am almost there I can taste it but I need money I have school loans to pay a phone bill, help my parents out with rent, save money for my future do. What happens if I get the job??

What's going on in my mind!!!
on May 16, 2012 11:44 am
So I haven't been on here for a while, figured I should blog maybe someone would read it... Soooo its May and my appointment for the PFT is almost here. I remember when I called again to get the appointment sooner and the nice lady I spoke to found something in June and I thought  OMG I have to wait 2 freakin months, this SUCKS ASS, but then again at least it isn't in JULY.. So I guess I should be happy right..?? I started thinking about this whole journey and what's ahead for me and even though I am happy that I decided to go through this I am also scared and nervous that I won't get approve, being the fact that I have no medical issues except that I am FAT. I remember my cousin telling me she got denied not once but twice so though I don't want to think negative I can't help but to have that in my mind. Since beginning this Journey in January I have went from 256 to 245 ( well last time I checked) which is not bad but then again I feel like I am no longer losing weight I eat less but than again I don't do much exercise but still I should at least lost 5lbs in 2 months..IDK I guess I just get too frustrated with myself. 
One thing I have notice is I don't eat much which I know they say we should but what happens when I'm not hungry I eat at least 3 times in a day and my meals are lunch dinner and a late snack( cuz I get really hungry at night and it's because I eat dinner to early like 3:30 or 4) anyway another thing is I don't drink water a lot but its cuz I'm not thirsty, so what does this mean?? Do I have to force myself to eat during the day or drink water if so this is so gonna suck....

Just an Update
on April 1, 2012 8:40 pm
 Hey Guys...So I am almost done with all my appointments I have 2 this month one on the 3rd and the next the 10th... But I'm still trying to get the appointment for the PFT sooner I called last week and was able to get it to June 10th the nice lady on the phone told me they lady who had given me the appointment for july 5 wasn't really a nice person and doesn't like to go out her way to help anyone. So she just told me to ask for her and call back in about 3 weeks to see if any thing opens up soooo FINGERS CROSSED!!! On another note on friday was my graduation I went to school for medical assistant, I didnt go I really didnt want to, to be honest my diploma is all that matters to me. Anyways just wanted to give a update..

Now it begins!

 So Friday was my third and last weight-management appointment spoke to the nutritionist about what is going to happen now they gave me a little package of all the appointments I had to make and what to do after I finish all the appointments. I got lucky enough and all my appointment excepts 2 are all in march. One of them is in April which is not bad and the one I am most upset about  is the PFT (pulmonary function test) which is in July... They had given me two different places I can call for the  PFT and the first place I called gave me May 30 which was not bad but I told the lady on the phone that they had given me another # and I will call that one to see which day comes first. That place gave me the # to the first place I called. SO I called back and spoke to someone else and this lady was so Nasty, and when I told her that I had just spoke to someone who worked there and informed me that May 30 was available this lady told me nope that person was lying to you next available appointment is July 5...Do you even know how frustrated i was... Anyway I am going to keep calling and praying that something opens up for me and I can see this Doctor sooner.
FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Seriously!!!

So I went to my appointment today to only find out that it has to be reschedule..UGHHHHHH, so annoying I just want this process to go by fast.  This was suppose to be my last appointment for weight management but now I have to wait for the 9th. On another note I was so damn scared to step on that scale... I guess this gives me a couple of days to get my stuff together. I am not 100% sure what comes after this appointment but I am very anxious and nervous to know I cant wait.

My Story

I have struggle with weight for yrs, even though I am only 22. Being young and overweight is something that is hard to deal with growing up. Yes you get bullied and made fun of but I never allowed someones negative words break me. I have tried and tried to lose weight many times since the age of 17 and though I must admit I've quit a couple of times, but there were times were I stood by my word in becoming healthy for more the 5-6 months. I didnt understant why I busted my ass and put my all in losing weight and I wasnt getting any results, which would upset me. Thats when I began to look  up information in weight lost surgery. My cousin had gastric bypass in December 2010 and I've never seen her so happy. That is another reason why i deciede to go towards weight loss surgery I have my first appt with a weight loss surgery Dr Jan 6, 2012 an I cant wait...
