Hi. This is Paula. Things are looking up a little. I found Dr. Molina's assistant and am waiting for information from his office. My insurance is being switched to Aetna PPO today and I will go from there. Thank you for the well wishes.

<b>~*~(From my heart to yours)I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.(unknown author)~*~Hugs~*~</b>

Paula, I'm sorry for all you've been through, both physically and emotionally. I just happened to see your photo in the before and after gallery, and thought, wow, she's looks amazing, so I linked to your profile, and read your update. I hope you do go through with the revision, but only for yourself, and your happiness. I eat with my husband things I shouldn't at times, but just less of it. Men are funny. I hope he learns to support you in your decisions, no matter what they may be. Best wishes to you, As you take your journey to the inner, and thinner you, remember: The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I am the LORD, you God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 Don't tell GOD how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your GOD is! Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 I have heard your prayers, I have seen your tears. Surely, I will heal you. 2 Kings 20:5 I'm hoping you have a successful surgery, a rapid recovery, and much success in your weight loss journey. Des's date of surgery 3/13/2002 Pre-op weight =316#'s, , current weight on 7/03/03 = 173#'s

No man, and I do mean NO MAN is worth going through a reversal and a weight gain. If he loved you like he should, he would be more understanding towards your feelings of wanting to be thin. Love has a defining line, and I think the request for undoing the surgery is one that you might want to speak to a Therapist about. Certainly it was asking too much of anyone to request that they undo a procedure that was giving them the succes that they wanted. If I were you, I'd seek conseling as to why I allowed his opion of my body to have me do such a thing? God Bless.

PAULA YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!! WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU REVERSE IT TO EAT HAMBURGERS, I THINK THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT, YOU MUST HAVE WANTED IT YOURSELF, DID U HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS FROM IT?? WHAT POSSED YOU? FROM YOUR PICTURES YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL, WERE YOU HAVING A HARD TIME ADJUSTING TO YOUR NEW LIFE, JUST MAKE ME UNDERSTAND WHY????? AND TO MENTION IT SO MATTER OF FACTLY, I DONT MEAN TO BE RUDE OR ANTHING JUST SO SHOCKED AT YOUR DECISION AND THE REASON. BEST OF LUCK???

OH MY GOD, HOW COULD YOU WORK SO HARD TO REACH YOUR GOAL WEIGHT, RISK YOUR LIFE HAVING THE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, AND THEN LET YOUR HUSBAND CONVINCE YOU TO HAVE IT REVERSE SO YOU CAN EAT HAMBURGERS WITH HIM. YOU COULD HAVE ATE HAMBURGERS WITH HIM, WITHOUT HAVING THE SURGERY REVERSE JUST NOT A WHOLE HAMBURGER. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR HUSBAND BECAME INSECURE ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT LOSS, AND FELT LIKE, HE MAY LOSE YOU BECAUSE YOU LOOKED SO DAMN GOOD, AND PROBABLY STARTED GETTING ALOT OF ATTENTION FROM OTHER GUYS. HOW COULD HE BE SO SELFISH. I HAD SURGERY OVER 9 MONTHS AGO I WENT FROM A SIZE 24 TO A 12 I HAVE ABOUT 40 MORE POUNDS TO GO BEFORE I REACH MY GOAL WEIGHT. MY HUSBAND IS VERY PROUD OF ME AND HE WOULD NEVER ASK ME TO HAVE THE SURGERY REVERSE JUST TO BE ABLE TO EAT HAMBERUGERS WITH HIM.
