I'm back and its for real- this time
Mar 18, 2012
Let take it back to 2011- I was married to my now ex, it was a long 6 year relationship that had a lot of good times but also its fair share of bad. We were young when we got together but we were in love, I stuck by him through all his bullshit- including problems with the law. He was an alcoholic and I thought I could "fix" him, I went through a lot to say the least but it made me who I am today- so I regret nothing. He didn't fully support my decision to get WLS, I think a big part of it was that he was comfortable with me being fat... So I didn't go through with the surgery knowing that I didn't have a solid support system at home. Fast forward to September 2011- So I come home one day from work and see this instant message open on our computer, as I walk over to see what it is; my husband rushes to the computer in an attempt to close it and prevent me from seeing it. At that point I already saw what it was along with the half naked female in it- I told him to leave because it was clear to me that he was up to no good... long story short he had be on dating websites soliciting himself as a single father looking for a "no strings attached" relationship. That was enough for me to put in an end to my marriage, I was unhappy for a long time so working on it was out of the question. I am OK with my decision and haven't felt this good in a long time.
Now that I am only living for myself and my 2 year old angel baby- it is my time! I called my surgeons office and asked if we could pick up where we left off back in 2011... they had me come in for another consultation since so much time had passed- after that they submitted my information to my insurance and a week later I got a call that I had been approved!!
My surgery is scheduled for April 9,2012!! I am so happy and I am certain that waiting until now to go through with it was the best thing that i could have done. Things happen for a reason and God is good! I started a Vlog on you tube that will document my journey and I just uploaded my first video... please check it out and subscribe, also if you want to know anything or want me to make a video something in particular please let me know. I appreciate all the support and hope to inspire others with my journey.

Getting Closer!
Jan 03, 2011
Hey my OH family,
I have some exciting news to share with you guys! I went and had my consultation with my surgeon and discussed all my opitioms and I have decided that RNY is the surgery for me after considering VSG. So many things are running through my mind but surprisingly enough doubt is not one of them. I know that this tool is going to help me change my life and become the person I have always yearned to be. I need this, I want this, and I will have this. Nothing is going to stop me.... my surgeon found out I was as moker and told me that he would not operate on me if I continued, boom smoking DONE! simple as that.....
So my next step is a pre-op appointment with my PCP and I have to get some lab work done after, the surgeon told me that they were all booke dup for January so my surgery would probably be in Febuary, I was shocked....everyhting is happening sooooo fast! After I get my lab test done, they will submit to insusrance and then my date will be set. WoW! Its is crazy 2011 is my year!!! Words can't express my excitment and joy, I have a solid support system and I am ready for this!
The only thing that I am kind of on the fence about is if I should or should not tell my boss the real resaon (WLS) for my absebce when I need the time off. I am really torn on what I should do, if you have adivice I would love to hear it. And also, approximetly how much time did you need to take off work after surgery, all comments and advice is appreciated. And if you have and questions, please feel free to ask me... I am here to help any way I can.
Peace&Love
