HI everyone I am about 2 weeks post op , I have returned to work on 3-31-03. It is really good to be back. I had a follow up with Dr. Doxey on 3-31-03 I am 25 lbs lighter. I really don't see it to much in my clothes but I am already beginning to feel better. I am looking forward to my next appointment. I have started pureed food 3-31 until next appt 4-21-03. I am learning my limitations. I have not been sick yet so I guess I am doing ok so far. It is amazing how quickly you get full. I am very excited about my journey.
It has been an adjustment though since it seems that our social activities use to revolve around going out to eat. We are trying to do other things.
I will update again in a few. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Hello all, I am doing very well. I am never hungry anymore this is just great. I am tolerating my food well. I can now take small pills. No more liquid medicine. They taste so bad. I am really glad. It is begining to be a reality for me now. I am really losing weight and not feeling like I am starving all of the time. My energy level is increasing and I have started walking a mile 4 times a week. I look forward to this growing. I am really enjoying myself. I have taken my children to Busch Gardens three times already this year since I have had my Surgery. They really enjoy it and I enjoy the fresh air. May God Bless everyone on their journeys as he has me.
Till next time may everyone be safe.

I am really glad I made the decisions I have. This has really been a good choice for me. I had alot of second thoughts but everything has been working out for me. God has blessed me and I thank him every day.

Hi, everyone it has been a little difficult for the past 2 days. I am not feeling well. Not sure why but not feeling to good. Most days are really good but when you have a rough one it is a little rough. I am following the program. But a couple of rough days. I sure hope tomarrow is better.
*****************************************************************
5/12/03 Hi, everyone I am 8 weeks post op having my yearly bronchitis attack. Had to get breating treatments today. But now on 5/13/03 feeling much better. This is just for the birds my whole body aches from the top of my head to all of my ribs. Thats ok the doc has fixed me up. I will update soon.
*****************************************************************
5/13/03 Hi, everyone I went to work this morning woke up feeling a bit better from the bronchitis from yesterday. My Doc gave me some meds which really helped. However after being at work only about 2 hours I had a low sugar attack. My sugar dropped and I was alone at the office this was really scary for me. But I had some juice in the frig and drank some of that. I called my mom and she came and picked me up. Took me back to my Docs and he confirmed. Buy the time i got their my sugar was back up to 118 this was within normal range. I really thought I had been doing really well with eating and drinking. But after he ran a few test he said most things were good but that I was really dry(I asked what he ment by that) he said not getting enough fluids or protein. I have really been trying to do good. But I guess I will start keeping a log of my intake per day for a few weeks to keep a closer eye on it. I have really felt good up till this week. I really think the bronchitis is the problem.
Well till next time. May God Bless us all.

HI everyone, I am about 10 weeks post op. Doing well overall. I saw my surgeon today for a check up. He told me he was relocating in August 03. I will really miss him. He has been very supportive. He is moving to arizona. He says he has a great opportunity. This is a little disappointing to me as my trust has been in his work. But I guess he will only transfer his patience to a good doctor. I will meet his replacement sometime 8-03.
Well I hope everyone is doing well. May God bless us all.
*****************************************************************
5-24-03
Hello all, I am really amazed at the results I have seen over the past several months. After believing for so many years that nothing seemed to work for me. I now have a new found realizm. I can do it. This is such a great tool. I am very seldom hungry any more. I just eat to live, not live to eat. I am very greatful to Dr. Doxey. He has been a great help to me. I am very happy that he preformed my surgery. I am a little scared about him leaving the area my confidence was in his abilities and now have to be transfered to a new surgeon, for the remainder of my follow up care after 8-2003. I am sure he will refer us all to a very qualified person. However I really got use to him. But thats ok we will see.
I hope everyone else is doing well and look forward to talking with anyone who emails me. [email protected]
Good luck to everyone and take care of yourself. You need to keep up the protein and all your vitamin supplemnents. To stay healthy. Keep up the good work it is still an effort that you have to stay focused in.
*****************************************************************

Hello everyone, I am doing very well really enjoying my new start.
I have now broke the 265 lb mark on the scales that is another 4 lbs.
I am so amazed at the results I am achieving. This is a great tool and I thank GOD and Dr. Doxey every day for this tool.
I have never had the sucess I am having right now. I am never Hungry. I have to remind myself to eat. This is really great. I can see me in a year. My first goal is to loose another 40 lbs. This will be 225 lbs. This will be a few lbs less than my Fiance' I told him this past weekend that I have a first goal. I am so excited. I have never weighed less than him. He just laughed and said you are looking great but I loved you before. He is a wonderful person and so supportive. He is one of the best things that has come into my life. I really enjoy his support he is the BEST. My children are GREAT they have also been very supportive they are the two best things in my life. I am SO MUCH HAPPIER since this excess weight is coming off. I was a happy person before but I believe that I am much healthier since the weight is coming off. I hope to help my kids as I progress. As weight problems run in my family.
Till next time may GOD BLESS US ALL.
EVERYONE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

I have gotten my results from my Dr. all labs are good. The key is getting in enough protein & vitamin supplements. Everything is looking good.

May you all be as blessed as I have been.

To all keep up the good work and May God Bless you all as you travel through the stages. Till next time Good Luck to everyone!!!

11-19-03 Well all is good this morning. I was extremely ill last night. I really don't know what was wrong. I was had nausea and server abdominal pain all evening. I felt as if I was going to pass out. Could not get comfortable. Went to bed around 7:00 pm and just slept it off. This morning feeling much better. I guess you just take the Bad with the Good. Of course there is more GOOD than Bad. I haven't ever felt like this before. Still wouldn't change a thing. I just am unsure of when I should be concerned enough to go to the DR. I am really enjoying my new tool. The holidays have creaped up on me again this year. I am looking forward to them anyway? I love to put up outdoor Lights. Well hope everyone is doing well. Good luck and may God Bless Us ALL!!!
*****************************************************************

Well it has been a few days since my last update. I am down to 193lbs. Has slowed down a little the past couple of weeks. But I know it is still coming. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Janice Andleton. I met Janice in November 2002 at a Nail salon. She and I began talking and She was my inspiration that I could do it. I have to say that I had persued this opportunity twice prior and did not have the courage. But something clicked after talking to her a little more than a year ago. I am now one of the sucess stories. I have been very fortunate and not had any major complications. I have lost a total of 134lbs now in just a short 8 months. It seems like so long ago. I still only see the results when I see photos. I see the inner me when I look in the mirror. And I see the outer me when I look at photos. I can hardly believe my own Eyes. I am just so thankful that I had a great surgeon and a brief discussion which influenced me to help myself. Thank you Janice and Dr. Doxey

Well the scale has stopped moving again. I think I will do liquid diet next week to get things going again. I really have done very well. I would like to loose about 25 more lbs. I have been as low as 173 and fluctuating back and forth. 173-179 Not real sure why. I think sodium is a factor. I am going to cut back on the sodium and do liquids next week. This always seems to give me a little kick in the butt. I am so very thankful for my new tool. Even if I stay right were I am I would be very Happy and Healthy. I would like to get to 160. I will see it. I know I will just a few more months.
Till Next time May you all be as Blessed as I have Been. Thank you God and Dr. Doxey I could not have done this without you both.

****Good Luck Shanon!!!only a Few more days to go!!!!*********

Well I am doing Great as usual. I am almost a year out and things have slowed down a bit. I am very happy at the current weight. I would like to see 164 only 10 lbs away. If you calculate the BMI i have to see 164 to be considered a normal weight. I wonder where they get the stats from I really think I am at great weight for my height and build. I eat right and need to exercise more but am doing very well. I am very happy of the choices I have made in life. And would do them all a 100 times over. This has just been a wonderful experience for me.
To everyone considering WLS it is a long time resolution for those of us that have struggled with weight our whole lives. Good Luck to all and May God Bless you as I have been.

I believe that Obesity is a Disease. Just like alchoholism, or Drug Addiction. People use food for comfort. If our Society provided equality for slim and obese folks, we would not have the same issues. I was heavy my entire life from 6th grade up. I began being overweight at 13 180 lbs at 35 327lbs and serverly obese. I really don't like that term but it is a fact. I remember going to dinner and not fitting in the chairs. Or having to wait for a table because a Booth was uncomfortable. Society makes this problem worse for overwieght people. They just make us all feel that we dont belong. After many years of trying to convince myself that I was happy heavy or thin. I decided to undergo WLS. It has improved my health 100%. But I will be the first to tell you society is very judgemental. Now Heads turn and I get all kinds of attention just walking through the stores or malls. Not the normal out ragious stares you usually get. People need to remember behind obesity, usually lies other health related problems. Wheather hereditary or just bad choices. I have a new chance at enjoying my life. But I will never forget where I came from. We all deserve to be treated with some dignity.
I am now down to 173Lb -154lbs gone forever.
Till next time May God Bless us All

Well its been 1 Year today. I am doing great. I love the choices I made a year ago. I am so thankful that God has given the Surgeons the knowledge and expertise to help those of us who have the courage to move forward with our lives. I am so excited on the new and exciting things I can enjoy again. I feel 10 years younger. It is hard to believe that a year ago I felt like I was mid 40's and only in my early 30's now I feel 20 again. Thanks to Dr. Doxey, God, and my very loving and supportive family. I love you all so very much. To all my AMOS family I wish you all the best and Good luck to everyone. WLS has changed my life forever. Till next time!!!

Well another week has gone by. I am now 172 and holding not fluctuating back up. I am really happy that the weight is still coming off. I am sure that it will level off soon. I am just so glad that this tool has worked for me. Not everyong is sucessful. Some of this is just do to poor food choices, which we all make sometimes. However stay focused because this is a life long committment. -155 lbs gone forever. I am just so thankful for the opportunities I have been given. It is still so amazing. May everyone be as blessed as I have been. I have a little trouble with headaches and diziness. Unsure of what from it may all be migraine related. I will document and review with my doctors soon. Till next time may you all prosper on your journeys.

Well it's been almost a month since I last posted. We went to Busch Gardens last weekend. It is simply amazing how much our Bodies change in just a Short year. I now can ride and enjoy all the rides that I want to. It's now is my choice and not the choice of the Size of my body. I am so grateful to have the chance to enjoy life again. I would recommend this tool to everyone who battles Obesity. It really is Great. I have days that I am extremely Tired. But I would not go back for a minute.
Well may you all be as blessed as I have been. Thank you God and Dr. D.

Well just a brief update. I had my LAP RNY over a year ago. Now researching and going through the process all over again. This time for my loving son Ray. He is really looking forward to this life saving surgery. I support him 100% he has battled weight his entire life. Now a morbidly Obese teenager it only gets harder and harder. I am so proud of him for making such a decision so young. He knows what he wants and I am here to tell ya I am 100% behind his wants and needs. Everyone say a prayer for my son as we progress through this journey yet one more time. I know he will do fine. We are just playing the waiting game. Till next time thanks Dr. D I will keep you informed of our progress here in VA. God Bless us all!!! -- Carol Lee

Hello everyone, Just a brief update as time goes on I don't seem to come here as often as I would like. I am doing very well. Now weighing 1/2 of what I started at I am very healthy and happy. I am just so thankful to all the technology available and knowledge that these Dr.s have now available to them to help us that need it. Thank you for your caring and expertise that helps us to become healthy first, and happiness just overflows from that point forward. Lets everyone keep all of our new comers in our prayers now and forever. This is just such a great gift. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and my decision. Till next time may God bless you all as he has me.!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, I am updating sorry so long but after 2 years you seem to forget to come here as often. I said this was not going to happen to me but it did. You get very busy with your new found life and then don't come here as often as you should. I am very well getting ready to look at having more surgery. Tummy Tuck and some Damaged skin removed. I will keep updating with progress. Hope all is well with everyone and I still welcome any questions that I may be of assistance to someone with and welcome emails.
Till next time May God Bless you all as he has me and my FAMILY.

Well it gets longer and longer before you come back once you are doing well. I am very disappointed in myself for not keeping more up to date. Everything is going very well. I have a few things working on. Seeing a Surgeon next week for possible Surgery. I will update again next week. Hope all goes well and I get an approval.
Till next time God Bless everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
