I went back to work monday! I felt so so tired but i made it threw the week. I took Sophie for her test.All went good. I requested Friday 1/2 a day off,next friday 1/2 a day for my Iron off and the days of sophies sergury off(the week). I was approved the two 1/2 days but denied the week. when i went and talked to my supervisor. I asked what i was going to do? she said she didnt know and we should have planed this better. She said i had just had three weeks off. I explined sick time. I advised her i would be there for my daughters sergury. She said do what you have to do,that it was not approved,and it would effect my attendance. Soo i will be late that day and maybe others. I dont get it she acts like i am out to go the beach. She acts like this was not medically nesserery like i had been out having a boob job. Some just dont get it. On another note lost anothrt 2 lbs. 20 more and i will be down to my married weight.

Second time around!!!!
Sep 18, 2012
I'm here for my second time this blog will be kinda long since i did not start this and keep up. I had my first gastric bypass in December of 2000 with Dr MCCARTY. I weighed 354 and lost down to 253. I met my husband and his winning grace we eat and played a bit. I would gain 5 lbs and would be like i will lose it next week. Ikept gaining and gaining. When i had the surgery the first time i was under the impression i would never be able to eat enough to gain my weight back, but i looked up and was weighing 330.
I seeked help with Dr Kennedy like three years ago .She asked i quite smoking and come back in two months. She also asked for barium burger test be done.(they take burger and soak in barium and have you eat while they watch). I quite smoking and had test done and went back i had gained 4 lbs and she was like we need to figure out why you gained to talk to nutrients and come back in two months. I didn't go and in in the third month i received a letter she was leaving Dr Khones practice.
In November of 2010 I started a pretty good diet Soup for lunch and salad for dinner I stayed on that til August of 2011 and lost like 60 lbs I felt week and went for treatment from Doctor and found out my iron was a 3 and should have been a 12 so Now i take iron by iv which works good for me. but mentally i started eating crazy again.Which brings me to my new Journey.
My Daughter was researching surgery for her self . She had started her requirements and procedures with Dr Kim. She has BCBS of Illinois and is required to do the six months of nutrition classes and the phyc evaluation. This got me to thinking. I quite smoking in June and realized that was what had been stopping me. The race was on. I called Dr Kim and he would not see me due to having open bypass the first time. I called Dr Kohn and the receptionist could not get me xfered to scheduler so kinda Leary. Googled Dr McCarty and found him. I called and set up my first Appointment in June. They submitted claim to insurance and was approved immediate. I had to wait til my Flex card had money on it ,So i had to wait til September. Dr McCarty does surgery on Thursday so September 6th would bee the day.
The day of surgery i weighed 340.
In the mean time i had a egd ekg and blood work done. I had my revision done on Sept 6th,it took him 5 hrs due to the scare tissue.I was taken to my room with a morphine pump.and a drain. In a couple of hours they had me walking the halls. It was hard for me to breath. On the 7th the Dr came and seen me and was ready to release me with my drain . The nurse did not feal comfy with that but Dr orders. After a couple of days i went for my iron and b-12 and Doctor PCP gave me a steroid shot. the next day i felt so much better.I could breath. I went to Dr McCarty on September the 14th to have my drain removed. I weighed 320. I am walking no marathon but up and down the block.So want this to work this time.
