I am a stay at home mom. With 2 young children. I love my life and want to better it for my family. I hope to have my surgery in the spring of 2005.
December 1st 2004- I just had my appointment with my PCP, boy is she an idiot. She was suppose to have my letter of medical nessesary ready for me so I can send it in to the ins company and the surgeon. So I made an appointment with her again in one (1) month to get it then. That will give me a few days to get it to the ins company and I will have to take a copy with me to the surgeon. Oh well, I am confident that all will go well I just need to be patient. I am very worried about the ins. company approving me. For some reason I have little doubt that the approval stage will go smoothy. I will have to take it as it comes. Till next time....
December 10th 2004- I got a call today to pick up my letter of medical nessesity from my PCP. When I picked it up I was not very impressed with the wording of the letter. But I guess I cant be to picky! lol I called my ins company and they just now told me that the surgeon I want is not covered under their plan. I asked them if there was a surgeon in their plan that I could go to and they stated there is one and to call him. I called him this afternoon just to find out he is a new DR to this type of speciality. I am a little worried about this. I then called back the surgeon I want and they explained to me that they will except what my ins will pay and work with me on the rest. I was very happy to hear that. I am now looking more into different types of the surgery. I was first thinking I would like the Lap RNY but am now interested in DS. Till next time....
December 13th 2004- Ok major fusteration has set in. I just called all the Dr.s I have to call for my ins company. I found 2 that do the surgery. 1 is new and is just starting his pratice and the other does not do the type I want. So I am gonna call them back and find out what I do now. I am not sure why the surgeon I want can't join my ins company. That would make thing so much easier for me! :o) For some reason, all though I am fusterated I am calm. I am so excited to be moving a head with this journey, I will take the bad as it comes! Till next time.... (p.s. I think I decided on DS surgery but now none of the 3 Dr's in my area do it! What now! lol)
December 15th 2004-- Now I am just down right depressed. I called my insurance company and Julie..(the ins lady) told me that the person who spoke with me in the first place was wrong and they do not cover the surgery. hmmmm, what? I think they should cover it becouse they told me they would! lol OK..so Julie told me to send my letter of medical nessecity from my PCP and write a letter myself and they will recview it and see if they will cover it. I am a little worried about my writing skills and being able to convince them I need this..hmmm, this will take some finess (sp)...I will get through this...I will get through this...I will get through this...till next time...
December 16th 2004-- So after I found out I needed to write this letter to the ins company I was terrified..but later on that night I thought of it as a way to tell them personaly why I needed this. All night long I had ideas..did I get up and write them down..umm..no! I should have.lol I sat down at the computer to write the letter and nothing to came to me..lol I also sat with Kevin ( the hubby) and we looked over the types of surgerys together and found out I really dont know what I want. I have had so many people talk to me about there experiences and they are all such great experiences. They all have their own positives and negatives. Kevin told me that he probably is bias becouse he would want what I want. (how sweet!) So I guess I am gonna just write my letter and see what happens with the ins company. Till next time....
December 17th 2004-- I am usually a christmas grinch..but this year I am happy and excited. I think it has to do with the fact that I am taking the steps to get this surgery.. oh well. Happiness is welcomed anyway. I wrote my letter and have sent it to someone on the wls site who has offered to read it. I hope it is good. I asked her to let me know what it needs and what I should take out. Knowing me it will come back looking like a teacher wrote all over it with red ink! lol That would be funny! Well what ever revisions I need I will make. I really want this to happen and feel like I will be such a better mommie, wife and person when it does. I am so impatient..this journal and website is keeping me grounded! I am so thankfull for it. Till next time....
December 29th 2004-- Well I think this has been the longest time in between updates. I had a great christmas. That is odd. I usually dont like christmas, but this year was diffrent. I am awaiting approval from the ins company. I have my first appointment with Dr Desimone the surgeon I dont want on Jan 3rd. I am excited though. I also have my first appointment with Dr Weiss the surgeon I do want on Jan 7th. It will depend on what the ins company says which Dr I actually have the surgery with. I am worried about the ins stuff. I am keeping busy though trying not to think about it. I am getting very anxious about seeing the dr's. Not becouse I am nervous I think its mainly beouse I am so excited. I just cant wait. I have made a very good friend in all this weight loss thing. We are about the same age, excacly the same size, and the same name and even some of the same background stuff. It has been great! Steph and I are gonna try to get to each others surgery dates. We even live with in a hour or two of each other. I really need her..its so nice to have a friend...till next time....
Jan 1st 2005!-- Happy New Year! I have had a great couple of nights..I was invited out with a couple of girls in the family. We had so much fun....I even got hit on and had a drink bought for me.....didnt he see the ring? lol It was a blast. I really felt pretty and attrative..and I havent had the surgery yet! I have my appointment with one of the surgeons in 2 days..I am very excited. I have not heard anything from the ins company yet on wheather or not they will cover the surgery. I still need many prayers on that issue. Please God.....guide the people who apporove this to make the right decition..(which of course it to cover it for me! lol) and I will never touch another cookie in my life...Amen..LOL till next time.... * I gained 6 lbs over the holiday season and the dr upped my B/P medicine...hmm..not good right?
January 3rd 2005-- I had my first appointment with the surgeon today...it went sooo well. I have choosen to change my surgeon. Only becouse he is covered (if they approve it) by my ins. The other dr is not. So anywho...Things went really good. Dr Desimone is a great guy, he was polite, casual, very informative, he answered all my questions. I am so excited. He would like to do my surgery in Febuary sometime if the ins cooperates with us. If not he is willing to help with the appeal. They told me they will take care of all the ins paper work .......I WILL FINISH UPDATING TOMORROW...THE BABY IS CRYING AND WONT STOP...UGGGG....CALGON TAKE ME AWAY! LOL Ok ....I am back...I am very worried about the ins company. I feel like this is goin to be the long process for me in this journey. I am ready to move on beyond this part now. My hubby is very supportive of me..its great, and after the night I had last weekend (when some guy hit on me at the bar) he has been paying alot more attention to me too! I love him so much. I recieved an e-mail about a trip to Alaska for the OH people in July and August. My hubby really wants to go! I do too but did not expect him to want to go and hang out with people he does not know! I hope we can go, it would be a nice vacation for us.
Well back to surgery stuff.....I am schedualing my neutritionist and phycologist (spelled wrong) appointment soon. I have my next appointment with the surgeon on Feb 1st..I need to have all these other appointments done first.Ok....till next time....
January 6th 2005-- very early in the morning..(12:04 am)I am getting nervous about the ins stuff...I want to call but I dont want to bother them either..But I do want to bother them and let them know I am not goin to go away! lol I have a tooth ache and I am miserable..but still eating..whats up with that? Anywho..I have an angel when the time comes..I am excited to have someone to help me thru this..someone other than the hubby, someone who is fat like me! Her name is Stephanie Johnson..she lives about 1 hour away..I am gonna be her angel too! We are gonna try to get to each others surgery to be there for eachother...we will also update the profiles too...it will be great! woo hooo.till next time....
January 7th 2005--ok...so I have been to the dentist like 4 times in the last 2 days...they are going to pull out my tooth but not for like 4 days...is there a reason they need to wait sooo long..I am in pain here...helloooo...ugg. Well they gave me some good pain meds to live on for a couple days. My hubby, the kids and I started taking a daily vitamin..maybe this will help with our activity level. We are lazy people..and I dont want the kids to be that way too. I am still waiting for the ins people to hear my prayers...hellooo?? do you hear them? ( I am not sure they do! lol) I am really trying to keep my normal humor during all this..Till next time....
January 12th 2005-- We recieved a letter from my hubbies company telling us that they are switching ins companies in April...woo hoo... I called the new ins company to see if they cover the surgery and they do! Yeah! BUT you have to have 12 months documented doctor watched dieting...uggg..so I may have to wait another 12 months to do this. I may have to go thru the diets all over again....not sure..I still am fighting with the ins company we have now to see if they are goin to cover it. My hopes would be to have the ins company we have now cover the surgery and start with the new ins company in April...we will see I guess. I am still calm and relaxed about the whole thing..I feel at ease and hope to stay this way! lol Till next time....
January 19th 2005-- Ok, so now I am crying. I called the ins company and they have just sent out the denial letter. We are switing ins companies in April but I have no way of finding out if they cover the sugery till April comes. I am so fusterated..now it is getting to me. I attend college online and now is my final time for the next 2 weeks....I have so much goin on...and now this..I just want to crawl back into bed and stay there forever....till next time....
January 24th 2005- Ok..I am feeling better now.. crying is done! lol Well I do know that the new ins company will cover the surgery I just wont know till April what hoops I need to jump thru for them. I just pray that its not another year of hoop jumping....I cant jump anymore. I am still attending my nutrition appointment and psyc appointment so I will have all that done for April. I am just annoyed. My third semester of school is finaly ended. I think I have decided to get my bachelors and then my masters. Its gonna be a long trip but what the hell I have been thru so much already...why not more? lol I guess I am a glutten for punishment.. I am really looking forward to the 3 week break I get before my next semester begins...I am gonna take some me time.. no kids.. no hubby..no dog...no cat...lol what shall I do? I have no idea... lol
oh well..for now.. sleep.. till next time....
Feburary 10th 2005..Well, Nothing new has happened. I have to wait till April for me to conintue on with my journey. Our insurance company is changing in April so I still have to wait. I have not had a good last couple of weeks. I am getting tired of not having a break from the house and kids. I am being abused and used..I really dont feel like I am appericiated (sp). I know I cant expect the kids to know everything I do around here but some thank you's and some quiet "me" time would be great. I have spoken to the husband but he says its just the way things go when you are a stay at home mom. He is not belittling me at all but he has adult conversations and even though its only to work he still gets off the house. I have none of that. I have lost my only friend and just dont have that contact anymore. I am working on it. I am feeling better after goin on strike for a day or two. It was rough but I have reclaimed my self..or at least some of me..lol oh well, I am a work in progress.. till next time....
February 12th 2005-- I am not sure what has happend, but I am a miserable mom. I am so tired of taking care of other people. I really need some idea's of how to fix this. I never get a break, I am with them 24/7...they are sucking the life out of me. I feel like as a mom I should love this time with the kids, I should be happy they need me. I just don't. I feel horrible about it. I feel like becouse I resent them so much I am unable to be a good mom. I guess this is just a crab fest for me. This journal gives me an option to vent. Sorry anyone who is reading this. lol I just need a break, I am a miserable person. I dont get dressed ( why, where am I gonna go?) I dont sleep...All I do is eat..I dont clean (why, its only gonna get messy again, no one cleans here but me) My hubby says he understands but he does not help me. I know he cares but just as men do..does not do anything to help. ugg..what am I goin to do. I am ready to fall apart. till next time....
February 24th 2005-- Hello! We just got back from vacation. We did not go anywhere warm, just to visit family in NYC and PA. We had some major problems but they all went smoothly.. weird..lol its nice to be home in my own messy house and my own lumpy bed! lol I start my next semester in college on monday.. I am excited to get back into school. It will be a hard semester but I am looking forward to moving on and getting some of my semesters over with. Nothing new on the surgery thing. I am still waiting till April when we start our new insurance company. All right..back to recovering from vacation! lol Till next time....
March 18th 2005... wow. its March already.. I am still waiting till
April to go to the surgeon again. That is when the new insurance will kick in. I am praying that all goes well, My hubby and I are starting to look at buying our first home. The kids need a place to call home. lol I am soo excited. I would like to be in the house by the time school starts for september of 2005. Everything around here has been goin good. I am in school still. I end this semester some time in april I think. I have been taking time for me once a week. Sometimes goin out with a cousin my age for the night or even just goin to see my mom alone, with out the kids. I have enjoyed the quiet time. I need it .. I am goin insane. I will keep updating.. there just has not been too much goin on around here. lol Isnt that a good thing? lol Till next time....
March 26th 2005-- Easter is coming tomorrow... yea! Again there has not been much goin on around here. I go back to the surgeon in April. I get my new insurance on April 1st.. so maybe everything will go smoothy from now on. My friend Stephanie had her surgery on March 23.. I have spoken to her.. she is goin well. I am so jealous.. I cant wait. It will be so nice to be on the other side and to start feeling normal again. I am still gaining weight.. not sure if that is a good thing or not. Becouse I am on the border of the BMI thing it is good I am not loosing weight. If I loose any weight I wont qualify for surgery any more, but I can seem to loose more than like 10 lbs.. so I do need the surgery.. I feel like I am in a continous circle.. hopefully that will end soon. I will update again after my appointment on April 4th.. till next time....
March 31st,2005 ok... could not wait for April 4th to update.. I am soo excited.. my new insurance starts tomorrow! I am goin to call them and make sure that WLS is not a total exclusion from the policy.. that is what happened with the last insurance company... ok.. calling now..lol ok.. becouse the policy does not start till tomorrow, they wont tell me anything.. ugggg... I am so impatient!! Till next time....
April 1st, 2005-- OK.. here I am being impatient again. I need prayers.. my new insurance company started today. I called and the surgery is not an exclusion but its not covered either. Sooooo... I have another appointment with my surgeon on Monday the 4th... then physical therapy on tues. the 5th.. and then they will submitt to the insurance company as soon as they get the notes from the phisical therapy people. I am going to call my surgeon on friday to see if they got the paper work from the physical therapy office and sent it yet. I am soo nervous.. anxious.. and everything else.. I just have a feeling that the insurance company will not cover it. I just have that feeling.. that sinking feeling.. my prays alone are not working... (i know they are working but they need a little help) I just feel lost.. till next time.. SIGNED HOPELSS.... AND SAD..
April 7th 2005-- I saw the surgeon on monday.. everything went well, he is excited like me.. we have a tentative date of May 9th! That is only if the insurance company will approve it. So now its a waiting game... waiting... waiting.. waiting... they are suppose to send my paperwork to the insurance company tomorrow.. friday the 8th.. I hope I hear back soon.. I have waited so long for this. With school going on.. I have to plan these things...hopefully next time I will have a real date to tell everyone!! Till next time....
April 20th 2005 --- I am waiting approvel officially.. have been for a week or two now. I hope to hear soon so that its not too clost to the surgery date. I dont want to have to plan everything in a week... in just 2-3 days! lol So when I know you will know! Keep praying.... Till next time....
April 27th 2005... not happy today.. the surgeons office called and the insurance company wants me to have a sleep apnea test done.That is all fine and dandy but there is no way it will get done by the proposed date of May 9th. So I called and spoke with someone at the surgeons office after we just hung up.. and the next date is June 16th I think she said. I know that is not that far away.But when you are set on one date... have kinda made plans for that date.. tentitivly.. now this.. I am so darn frusterated. Really pissed. I just feel like my prayers are not being heard. Now before I get bombarded with e-mails about Gods time and everthing..lol I understand that.. but I have some time limits too! lol I am just now sure if I can handle any more emotional termoil. I am beat. I just cant do it anymore.I want to give up the whole journey and say screw it. I will just deal with my weight problems as they come... Till next time.. signed.. GIVING UP ...
May 2nd 2005 I GOT APPROVED!!!! I GOT APPROVED!!!! I GOT APPROVED!!!!! LOL I cant stop laughing and crying.. and everything else... WOOOHOOOOO LOL June 16th is my date.. I am soo excited..
May 5th 2005... I have calmed down now...lol I feel almost like the calm after the storm feeling. I have no idea when any of my appointments are. I go see the surgeon again on may 16th I think.. yea, that sounds right. I suppose they will tell me then what to do next. My husband is goin to take a week off of work to be home with me and the kids. I am not nervous or anxious or anything.. is that weird? I am really nervous about telling people about it. I feel like they are goin to call me lazy or incompitent becouse I cant loose it on my own. I just dont want to hear people say those things. I know that it is not true that I am lazy... I just dont want to hear anyone say that to me.I am sure I will figure it out..lol oh well.. till next time....
May 13th 2005... I just got a call and my date has been moved up from June 16th to June 13th... I know its only 3 days but I am excited. Is it normal that I dont feel anxious or nervous yet? I dont. hmm.. I think that is weird! lol I have noticed that I am not liking food anymore, is that normal? I havent had the surgery yet and I am not hungry! I am sure its a mental thing. but still.. lol I do notice that when I walk (i have been trying) I get headaches.. is that normal? I NEED A NORMAL PERSON TO TELL ME WHAT IS GOIN ON! LOL ... I am sure I will figure it all out. My husband is taking a week of to stay home and baby me. I hope I am up and feeling better in 5 days or so, I want to be able to celbrate fathers day a little with him and the kids. I am so worried about what to eat after. I know all these answers will be answered by my surgeon on monday.(that is when I see him next) but I have these questions now! lol oh well, I will try to keep my sanity till then. till next time....
May 17th 2005....ok.. all is goin well so far for the date. I have all my appointments set for my pre op stuff.. apena test and nutrition stuff. I have a lot of appointments in the first week of June. I am still really nervous but I seem to get thru it some how. I passed my last semester with flying colors! And I start my new semester in one week. Not much time off, lol I have applied to 26 places for a job. I hope I get a job! That would be great. Is asking for a job and WLS in one year too much? LOl ok.. till next time....
May 20th 2005-- Ugg. ok.. so I start a new semester at school on monday. I also have my sons 2nd birthday this weekend too! Such and exciting time. I am worried that I am not loosing any weight. I am suppose to be losing a little bit of weight before surgery. I am not sure how. I am waking 2 miles everyother day. I am eating less and healthier. But I am not losing any weight. I guess I am already approved so I dont need to worry but I am still not to sure about it. I should be loosing some. Geez.. I am on my way to the losing side and I still cant lose any. I am a little fusterated. But I suppose the fact that I cant loose any wieght on my own is why I am having the surgery isnt it? lol I suppose. Ok.. till next time....
May 31st, 2005---- I was placed on Optifast a week ago, I have not cheated and have not lost anything. I am worried. I have less than two weeks till surgery time. I have all my stuff at home in order.. mostly. I will have to keep up with my school work but my hubby Kevin is begingin to take over things here at home. That is nice to see. I dont have to ask him to do anything. He has been soo supportive. its great. I am really not nervous any more, I have gotten past it. I think my surgery time is 10 am. I will know more on June 7th when I go for my pre op testing. I am getting a new scale today so I will update my weight when I know what it is. I was 230 at the nutritionist office but 247 at the surgeons office! I am goin with the nutritioist on this one! I think it is a more accurat scale anyway. ok.. off for nap time... I love being a stay at home mom... its great! lol ok.. Till next time....
June 3rd, 2005---- HI, I have been busy busy busy. I went to my first WLS meeting last night. It was OK. All the people there were from one bariatric center, so they all did things the same way. I am from a diffrent center, so my DR does things a different way. I kinda felt like they were telling me I am doin things wrong. OH well. It was nice to go and see others who have had the surgery. I have been on Optifast from the nutritionist for 10 days now. It is not bad. I have gotten used to liquids now..lol I have lost about 7 lbs. According to my new scale. That is about 15lbs total so far. I am reallying trying. My highest weight got up to 247.. I am happy to be on the lower side of that now.lol well, lets see. I have an appointment everyday next week. The next week will go by fast. I am not sure what time my surgery is. I guess they will tell me at my pre-op. I will find out soon. I am not sure what I am suppose to take with me to the hospital. I am going to sit and think about it in a day or two. Then pack a little bag. We will see. Till next time....
June 8th, 2005--- HI! I had my last appointments over the last couple of days. All went well. I am excited but getting nervous. I have lost 7 lbs in the last 2 weeks on the optifast diet. hmm... the children are screaming..I will be back soon..
June 18th--- well the day come and went and I am still here!!! Its done and over I am on the loosing side! Whoo hooo...lol It went well, my date was June 13th. I am 6 days post op. and hurt like hell! Well let me clarify hurt like hell lol I dont hurt becouse of the surgery, I hurt from what ever in in my tummy.. gas or swollen glands I am not sure. If I could make this 6 month prego belly go away, I would be all good. It just hurts. I am walking all I can with out killing my self. And the gas does not go away.. My husband is here for the next week with me off work, to hel take care of the kids and me. I do feel bad that I need someone to help me to stand up and move..lol oh well. I deserve it for once in my life I am taking care of noone but me. ANY SUGGESTINGS ON HOW TO GET RID OF THE GAS PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! Till next time.....
June 27th 2005-- I am doin very well. I am down 25 lbs. I am 214 right now. I cant believe it. But most unbeliveable is my bloodpressure is great! My knees are feeling better and I know this may not be a highlight to most of us, my period was on time and normal!!! lol woo hooo... I am eating good. and feeling good. I am back to school now and we are still looking for houses. We have actually put an offer in on one and are suppost to hear today about it. I just need to get caught up on my school work and I will be in good shape. I really feel good, inside and out. I am fitting into clothes I havent in years and that just makes me feel better about my self. Is that weird? lol I think so. Does anyone know when I am able to start sit ups and lite weights? I want to start but am afraid. Just a few? Please? lol ok.. well, gotta run. life is calling me! Till next time....
July 12th 2005-- HI all, a little update. I am one month out and down 30 lbs! I cant believe it. All is going well. I am feeling great, eating good, and enjoying life. WE just bought out first home so we are packing and getting things ready. I am not lifting to much..lol I always seem to be prego or unjured when we move..lol lucky me. I was told I could not excericse heavy yet. I want to do situps and little bits of weights but the DR says no. I feel like it will help tighten things up a little. I am so excited that I am healthier now. I feel better and am able to do more with the kids. I love it. OK.. that was all, just wanted to update.. I am doin well.
July 19th 2005-- I am feeling a little depressed... what is up with that? I feel so BLAH.. I am not sure why. I am eating good I think. I am keeping busy. I do know the kids are driving me nuts but I think it is more my lousey mood then them being bad..lol OH well.. another lousey day... woo hoo.. till next time...
July 27th 2005-- I am doin well. I am down to 202.. that is a loss of 36lbs! I am shocked. I am still not allowed to do sit ups or weights yet, so I am hoping that when I can in a week or two that I will tighten up a little more and keep loosing at a good rate. I have been very happy with my surgery results. I did get lucky with my surgery, I have had no problems and great weight loss. Things with our new house are goin slow. WE have not closed yet. We were suppose to close a week ago. I am not sure why. I have decided not to think about it anymore. I am just stressing out about it. not worth it. I am goin back to school on Aug 22nd. I had to drop out of the last semester becouse of the surgery and the house. To much stress. I could not keep up. Its ok. I needed to take time to take care of me. ok.. I am goin to go. I have to run some errans.. just wanted to update. Till next time....
July 29th 2005--- I am now 5 weeks and 4 days out. I am down 38 lbs.. I cant believe it. I will be under 200 lbs in a day or two. I am soo excited. I am starting to do some lite excerises. Lite weights and leg lifts and things.. nothing too hard. I know when I am doing to much. I feel great though, I am very happy right now with my self. Things are not goin that well with our new house, the closing date keeps getting put off and we have to be out of here by August 1st. So we are asking for a preposession of the house. WE are suppose to hear about it today. Soo. hopefully we will be able to get in there and paint this weekend.

I am worried about it. I do go see the surgeon for a check up in a day or two so I am goin to ask him about it. I have to run and put the kids to bed. I just wanted to give an update, becouse I know I have not lately. Take care everyone! Till next time....

I am in aww! lol I only have like 15-20 lbs more to go to goal. I have started to really excerise and make sure I am doin the right ones to tighten up everything I am worried about. I am going to the support groups we have here for my Dr. I have met some really great people. Its nice to have friends here to go thru this with! I hope all are doin well, and have a great holiday!

I can only thank god and Dr Desimone for everything they have given back to me. I am able to be the mom I have always wanted to be. Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy blessed healthly new year too!
OH Boy what a trip it has been. The date is July 21, 2006 I am a year and a month out. I have lost a total of 115 lbs and I am now just maintaing. I do have some news, apparently when you take antibiotics when you are on birth contol it makes your birthcontrol not work as well. I AM HAVING A BABY!! I am little afraid of gaining weight, but I am going to do by best, that is all we can do right. I have the OB watching out for me as well as my surgeon. I have severe nausea which I did not have with my first 2 babies.. this is all new to me. Things are going well though. I will be finishing up my assiciates degree in october, and possible continuing with my bachelors after. I dont know though! I will keep in touch more often, I am so busy now! lol
