so now the wait begins,
I hate this waitting, but I guess thing are moving very fast I only started this whole thing in Aug, 07, I just want it now. I am still working with the band to get my strenght up, 
I need to start walking but with my knees hurting and popping it makes it hard, I think I have this fear of falling, I did that once out of the bed and boy that was not fun it took my husband and son to get me off the floor, my husband was asking are you are sure you are not hurt, I said the only thing that was hurt was my pride,
I think that is when I decided to get the surgery I am just tired of being fat and not able to do anything and hurting all the time, Ok Ok that is enough of feeling sorry for my self,

My Journey
Sep 08, 2007
Well I went to the seminar in early Sept 2006 and found that it was a lot of info.Met with the dr. and some of the staff they were all very nice, That night I made my mind up to have this done, you see I was going to have the lapband but after the meeting I decided to do the bypass, so that is what I am working for.
I had the consult with Dr. McClellan on aug 16 2006. I met with the staff and was given the bands to work with to build up my strength, which I have been using everyother day , Dr. M, whats me to have pulmonary clearance which I have done Aug. 20,2006 and passed it, and also had to do a cardiac clearance which I did Sept.1,2006 and did not pass that one
Dr. Leo, said that I have to have a chemical stress test,
that is going to happen Friday Sept,14 and 17 2006 I will let you know how that comes out.. I did the Psyco Eval in two visits, I have one more to go to at that one she will give me the report, I am sure I did ok.
Oh the dr. name is Lisa Breisch she is in Loves ParkI still have the dietary consult to do and then they can send everything to Ins. for the aproval
All About Me
Aug 21, 2007
Hi I am 49ys old and well not much to tell I am a mother of 3 and grandmother of 7 have had a weight problem all my life infact I can't remember ever being "skinny" don't know what that is , I was always the fat kid in school, you know that one that was always picked last for playing teams in P.E. Never had any cool friends only friends I had were the other "Differnt" kids I was married very young 17 had my first son at 18, had two more children, one thing is I am still married to the same man. WOW and they said it would never last. lol fooled them, I worked as a CNA all my life until the weight got in the way and could no longer do my job that I love so much, So I took a job as Telemarker, Yea Yea I was one of them lol so sorry, but I need to work and their I could sit and I did that for 7 yrs OMG 7 long years, any way as I sat their I just got fatter and fatter, until I could not do that anymore and the pain of sitting all day was killing my, so now for the last 3 yrs or so I just been at home and yet getting fatter still, so now I am taking over my live and getting it back, one way or another, that is why I am have this surgery, and I found the best Dr. around in my book I love her and the staff,they are all great, so that is me in a nut shell
