November 18 2004:
I have decided to have the WLS surgery. I have always been overweight and have dealt with the roller coaster of emotions along with weight issues. I would lose and then gain back more than what I lost. It has always been a neverending battle. I have many people in my family that our overweight, So I have been blessed with the "fat" gene. My father underwent this surgery 2 years ago and I am so so happy for him and I have seen the positive changes that it has made for his life. I am just happy that I have been given the opportunity to have this surgery. My life is so crazy as I work 2 jobs, I am in customer service during the day working at a call center talking to customers all day long and then I work part time as a manager at a retail store in the Mall of America. Well here I am to start off my WLS Journey. I am excited nervous and ready. I have my informational meeting on November 12 and my boyfriend of 6 years is going with me. Bless his heart. I will update after.

My boyfriend and I before Surgery. This picture was taken is 2000!

November 12 2004:
Went to the informational meeting and I have decided that I am going to pursue the WLS. I know that it will be the best for me for my future. Well I sent off all that wonderful paperwork. I guess the waiting game now begins. I am glad that I am finally going through this journey.

November 22 2004:
Ok, I had the Nurst Consult with Kurt from Park Nicollet and I have my testing on Friday November 3 and then on November 10 I have my assesment meetings with the physical therapist, dietician, and psycholigist. Then on November 17 I have my final meeing before everything is submitted to insurance. Things are moving so so fast, just think I just went to the informational meeting on November 12. I just want to get all the appoitments done so that I can get a surgery date. The emotions of my life and the life of people around me are starting to feel real. If that even makes sense. I am happy that I have made the decision to go along with this and am happy that I have this website to go to for information and ideas and suggestions. I am hoping to get a picture sent in this week... If I have time.

November 26 2004:
Thanksgiving was great. Got to see everyone. Not one person in my familys knows as I am not ready to tell anyone yet. I will let them all know after I have a surgery date. I just don't want people to worry about this during the holiday season and I don't think that I want to have their viewpoints to influence me. Maybe to some that does not make sense, but I am 26 years old and feel that I need to make this decision on my own. I know that I will have a lot of support, but I am just not ready to tell the world..I got a little emotional on the way home from Thanksgiving, thinking that this is my last thanksgiving as "Big Girl". But as my boyfriend says to me " Jennifer that is small price to pay"

December 6 2004:
Finally got my picture on my profile! My head looks a little crazy I was leaning in the picture next to others. Looking forward to my appt on Friday for the testing for psychologist.


December 4 2004:
Well.... Did those long test I think that they are called the MMPI. Not sure, anyway they ask you crazy questions. It went well though. I then went and had an updated physical and had some more lab work done. There is so much to do and at times, I feel overwhelmed. But in the end, it will be worth it.

December 11 2004:
Well I had the Dietician, Physical Therapist, and Psychologist appt yesterday. Everything went well. I really like the Psychologist. I fel that we had a good meeting and she got to know me. I meet with her again next Friday the 17th of December. I got to walk the hallways with the Physical Therapist to see how fast we could get my heart to go and then do some "fun" stretching. The Dieticain in the one I have neen seeing for the past 6 months, so it was just a recap on everything and what to except at the next appt. I was so so tired yesterday. It was just a long day. Then I had to go and give more blood!! I went home and took a long long nap. ha ha... I am still wondering when to tell my family that I am having the surgery. I have not told my parents yet, as there are a lot of other things going on in there life right now. I just want everyone to have a good holiday and I don't want them to worry (as I know they will) I am planning on telling them in January or as soon as I get a date. I will have to decide just when would be right.

December 20 2004
Well, last Friday I had my final appt with the psychologist. It went very well. I felt so open talking with her. She told met that she said I was ok for the surgery and she would write up a report and get it to Kurt to submit to my insurance company. This is the most nerve racking part. I sometimes am a very a patient person and at times I can be so impatient it is nerve racking to everyone around me. I just want to be able to plan when I am going to be gone from work and get all of that taken care of. I don't like not knowing. Oh well.. So everything is going as planned. I am nervous and excited. So that is all for now.

 December 23 2004
Well the day before Christmas Eve!! I am excited and not. The holiday time is just so so busy that I feel that I have lost the true meaning of Christmas. Also, with my job at the Mall of America I am oh so happy that the holidays hours are almost over! I work two jobs and when retail hours change my whole system is messed up and then in between all of this, I am waiting for approval from the insurance company. I just need ONE day to step back and relax. I have been working like crazy between both jobs. I had a breakdown last night on my way to one of my jobs. I was just sobbing in the car. I just don't know what was wrong with me, I think that I had a slight case of the winter blues/holiday blues. I am just hoping that I have some good news for 2005. I am sure that I will. I am still very excited on this new journey that I am going to take. I am thinking that I am going to tell my parents this weekend about the surgery. I am not sure. I don't know if I want them to worry just yet. A part of me wants to tell them when I have an actual date, but I need to tell them it is DRIVING ME CRAZY!! I am so used to telling my parents everything and keeping this from them is hard. I love them both so much and value their opinion. Well enough complaining and whining for today.. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

 
December 28 2004
Well... Christmas is over. It went so so fast all of the time preparing for the day and it was over. It was great to be with all my friends and family and see everyone. My goal for 2005 is to spend more time with everyone. Well I talked to Kurt today from Park Nicollet and he said that my papers have not been submitted to insurance yet, so I am waiting. I am still hopeing for a Feb date. Well I told my family this weekend about the surgery. My father was really happy for me as well as my mother.They are supporting me like I knew they would. That makes me so happy. What can I say I have the best parents ever!!! Some of my other family members were very divided on why??? So I had to do some explaining to them about the surgery and why I was doing this. I hope that they understand now, but it is my decision to have this. Today is my boyfriends birthday and we are going to have a nice dinner tonight.

December 29 2004
Much to my surprise today, I have a beautiful new journal thanks to the OH team.. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I am having such a bad bad day and it put a smile on my face!


January 6, 2005
Well HAPPY NEW YEAR!! (late) My New Year was great! It is the anniversary of my boyfriend and I. We started dating 6 years ago on New Years Eve! So we just stayed home and watched movies and hung out together and of course with our cat too! Ha ha.... It was so nice to just sit and relax and not have to worry about going to work. So... I am still waiting for my paperwork to be submitted to insurance. I think that I am going to call the insurance company today just to see if they have anything. My last appt that I had was on December 17! That was a long time ago and I was told that they had 10 days to get it to Kurt? Not sure, but I am getting impatient. Then I need to tell myself it will be worth the wait..... Otherwise everything is going great this weekend, I am having my family Christmas with my parents and siblings. I am so so looking forward to going back home.I miss home so much. Well more later.....


January 11, 2005
Well.... I am still waiting for my information to be submitted to insurance.The Psych still has the information according to Kurt whom advised me of that last week. Today is DAY 16. I had my final psych appt on Dec 17 and it was to be sumbitted after 10 days. I am going to keep calling Kurt until I get an answer. I don't mind waiting, but.... Maybe I am just impatient or overreacting. I know that it is such a small price to pay to wait.


January 18, 2005
Well the psychologist finally got the information to Kurt and as of yesterday everything was submitted to insurance. I am so so happy. Now I just have to wait for insurance. Kurt feels that I should not take to long to get an approval. I am glad.. I am hoping to have the surgery in February.. We will have to see....


February 9, 2005
Well I have not updated forever. I am still waiting for my insurance company to get me an approval. They contacted Kurt and told him that they needed a letter of support from my primary doctor. Well, I don't really have a primary doctor so we asked the doctor that I have been seeing to write a letter for me. He did, but he told me that he does not support WLS. So today, we faxed that letter in, so now we must wait and see what insurance has to say. i was hoping that by now I would have had a date. Oh well.... more later.


February 11, 2005
I AM APPROVED!!! I called my insurance company and am APPROVED. I feel so much better. I have my surgeon appt on February 24.



February 16,2005
I HAVE A DATE!!!! Kurt called me this morning and said that my Dr had an opening for Monday the 21st.. OH MY GOSH.. So tomorrow I am going into meet with the Dr and do all of the Pre-Op stuff. I am so excited..... I Have surgery on MONDAY!!!! THAT IS ONLY 5 DAYS AWAY!!!


February 20,2005
Well...... Tomorrow is my day. I am having surgery at 9:50am. I am so glad that the day is finally here. I am have been feeling kinda blah today. I have been having the feelings like "Should I really being doing this?" or "Is this right for me" I know that I am truly making the right choice and I know that I will be fine. I think that it is just nerves. I am glad that my mother, grandmother, sister and best friend will be here with me. My mom and grandma are going to be here with me the day of surgery with Demetrius and then my sister and best friend Julie will come and visit after. Then Julie is giong to stay with me for the week so that Demetrius does not have to take off of work. BLESS HER!!!! I am glad for the support that my family and friends are giving me and this OH website.


February 28, 2005
Well I decided that I should finally update my profile. I am one week out from surgery and I am actully feeling pretty good today. My hospital stay was good for the most part. I have never been in the hospital before so it was very interesting. The thing that makes me laugh, is that you are supposed to rest in the hospital. It just seems liked everytime I would rest a nurse would come in and check my blood pressure check my IV bag or something. I know that they are doing there job, but you don't get much rest. Ok in the hospital the pain meds that they had me on Percocet (sorry about spelling) I either am allergic to or something. Everytime I had it, I would get sick right away. So needless to say I was throwing up a lot. My poor little pouch. Then in the hospital I must have drank to much at one time because at 3:30am I woke up and was throwing up for a really long time. But other than all of that. I had a great stay and was so happy to go home. There is nothing like your own bed, clothes and pillows. I have been doing pretty good with liquids. It is hard to keep drinking all the time. I feel like that is all that I am doing all day long. I go to see Kurt on Thursday for my check up and get my tube out. I am glad that is going to come out. I think that I am going to sleep better and feel better when that comes out. Thanks to everyone for the kind words of support during my surgery.

 March 9,2005
Well I have not updated for a long time. I am now 2 1/2 weeks out from sugery and doing very well. I am eating malt o meal for breakfast, cream soups for lunch and refried beans for dinner. I try so so hard to get my liquids in and that is the hardest part. I am trying every day. The first couple of days were the hardest I felt terrible and wondered if I made the right choice. I just needed to look and say "hey I just had major surgery!" I feel good now. I got the jp tube out last week and it is amazing just how much better you feel. I have lost 19 punds so far so I am really happy with that... YEA!!! It is amazing to me just how little I eat and get full. i am so happy that I had the surgery.


March 30, 2005
I have not updated for so so long. I have not been doing much of anything. Just recovering from the surgery. I am now back at work part time for the first week and then I will go back to work full time. I am glad to be back, but do I ever get tired. I can not believe that 4 hours would make me this tired. I have to laugh at it as I used to work 12-14 hours a day between both of my jobs. I am glad to be back. I was getting so so depressed just sitting at home.
I had my one month check up and I am doing really well. I lost 30 pounds and my BMI dropped 4 points. Kurt said that I am doing so so good. I am hoping by three months that I will be down 70. I am doing good with everything, except that I am having problems with food. I can drink all the liquids that I want, but food is hard. My stomach is so so picky... Well I am going to work on getting a new picture up.

April 19,2005
WOW! It has been forever since I have updated. Not to much is new to report. I am back at both jobs now. My full time job and my part time job. It is really hard to get back to work all I really wanted to do, was to sleep and I still want to sleep. I still need to understand that I am still healing and my body is still adjusting.
I will be two months out on Thursday, it is crazy to me that it has already been two months. I am down 40 pounds and feeling pretty good. I have a picky picky pouch. It does not like hot or cold food. I get sick a lot after eating and there is not a whole lot that I can eat. I try to eat some things but it is hard. I have my three month appoitment in May and if I am still getting sick I will talk to the doctor then. I went to the Spring Thaw last weekend. It was so so much FUN! I am going next year for sure. I had a lot of fun and met some wonderful people from the OH Website. It was great to meet Ron Lester and chat with him for a little bit and of course Chef David. The wonderful food that he made. More later


Erin, Sara and I at the "FFF" at the Olive Garden. April 23,2005


April 23,2005
Well a lot has been going on. I ended up in the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. I have been really sick for the last month. I have been getting sick all the time after I eat or drink anything. I thought that maybe it was normal being I was only one month out. So anyway I called my Nurse Kurt and he told me to go to Urgent Care. I got to Urgent Care and the docotor called Methodist and my doctor said to come over there and they were going to admit me into the hospital. So I got admitted and was put on a IV right away as I was dehydrated. Then on Wednesday morning, I had a scope done of my stomach and they found nothing. After talking with the doctor, he suggested that I go back on a liquid diet for 4-5 days. He is thinking that there may be an internal hernia or maybe my intestines are wraped up somewhere. So we are hoping that by being on the liquid diet it will all work itself out. So I have to call and talk to Kurt on Monday and switch to "solids".
Today I went to the Olive Garden and met a bunch of people for the site. We were there for the "FFF" for Gwen(doodlebug), Lynn, Christine, and Christy. I had a good time. It was great to see some of the people that I don't get to see very often. More later.

April 27,2005
Well not much has changed with my eating. I am still having some problems with it. I have to go to the doctor tomorrow and have some tests done so they can determine what my problem is.I think that I am having a CT Scan. I am sure they will hook me up to an IV again.We will have to see. I will update tomorrow.



May 10 2005
I have not updated forever! I am doing ok. I went to the doctor and had all the tests done and they found nothing. It is a good thing. I talked to Kurt and Dr Wetherille and they put me on Zofran which is an anti nausea. It helps me when I eat. I am just wondering why though. Kurt stated that I may have a picky stomach and it may be like this for a couple of months.So I just have to get used to it and eat whatever I can without getting sick. As far as weight loss, I am down 49 pounds. My three month appt is in 2 weeks. A part of me feels like I should have lost a lot more already. I feel like I am not losing anything and maybe I am failing at this. I don't know I am sure that it is all psychological or something like that. It is frustrating. I see other people losing weight faster. I know that I should not compare myself to others, but it is damn hard. I knew that this journey would be hard, but this is really hard. There were many times during my dad's recovery that I felt bad for him as I saw him struggled now I look at his journey and realize it is not easy. It is hard work...




May 22,2005
had my three month anniversary yesterday!! YEA... Three months how time flies.I remember the day that I had my surgery like it was yesterday.Time went by so so fast.
Well I went to my 3 month appt on Friday and I am doing wonderful. I have lost 55 pounds in the last three months and I have lost 10 inches from my hips and 7 inches off my waist. I am so so proud of myself. With my nausea issue, I am doing much better. I still have some nausea that I am dealing with, but it is slowly getting better. I am still taking zofran to help with the nausea, but hey at least I can eat now
I would like to thank EVERYONE on this site that has helped me out so much through everything. I am so blessed to have met such wonderful people and to know that I have made some great friends.You all are such wonderful and special in your own unique way. I am so so lucky to have all of you and to have found Renewal and this OH site.
THANKS EVERYONE and THANKS TO MY FAMILY!!!





June 9,2005
WOW I have not updated forever. I am doing well. Getting better with the food situation.Still not eating that much. I am just not hungry and have no desire to eat. Like I have told many people, if I did not have to eat, this would be wonderful. I am eating a ton of string cheese. I just love the stuff and it does not make me feel sick. I am back to work at my part time job and that has been an adjustment for me to get used to. I am not used to working 60+ hours a week. I am going to have to make it work. With being on disability for so long I really could use the extra money right now.
As for the surgery,I am down to 208 lbs and that is a loss of 61 total pounds. I started out wearing a size 24w pant and I can fit into a 18w. A size 20w is more comfortable, but an 18. THAT IS CRAZY. I never thought that I would be in this size. I am finding that shopping has gotten funner. I can go to target and buy the xxl sizes in women. I can shop at Old Navy and buy the xxl size. Little things like this, just make me happy.I feel good and am so so happy that I had the surgery. It has been a hard road, but noone said that it would be easy. It is hard, but well worth it. Again, thanks to all of the wonderful and amazing people that I have met on this site. I owe some of my success to all of you! Love you all lots.

June 22, 2005
Well my life has been crazy and I totally forget that yesterday was my 4 month update!! TIME HAS GONE BY SO SO FAST! I can not believe that it is 4 months already. I am feeling good and doing much much better.
As of today, I am at 202 pounds that is a loss of 67 pounds from my highest weight. That is so so surreal to me. It is hard to believe. I started in a size 24w pant and can now fit into a 18! My shirt size has gone from a 24 to a 18 some 16's. I am so glad that I have had the surgery and with everything that went on in the begining, I would never look back and say that I regret anything that I did. I am glad that I had the surgery and have accepted this wonderful "gift" that has been given to me.
I have met some AMAZING people through OH and Renewal and cherish all the support and friendships that I have made. I really do not think I could have made it without the support of everyone. So THANKS to everyone for being there for me!




July 1, 2005
I realized that I have not update for awhile. I am doing very well. Last weekend I went to my hometown of Alexandria and spent a nice relaxing weekend at the lake. I posted some pics below of my Grandmother and Mom.I love love my grandma to pieces. She is my rock in life. If there is ever anything that I need, she is always there and always has been. I just can't put into words what she means to me. She has been one of my biggest cheerleaders.
I am now down to 199 pounds. HELLO ONEDERLAND!!! I am happy about my progress. I have come so so far. I am so so proud of myself for everything that I have went through. I would never turn around and say that I regret anything.

Here is the update at 5 months. I am down to 189 pounds that is a loss of 80 POUNDS!!!

I am down from a size 24 pant to a 16 or 18. I went to buy a shirt the other day and got a LARGE... ok that is crazy to me I used to buy 3x!!! I am so so thankful to go everyday for the gift that has been given to me and for all of the wonderful people that I have met. I really do not know where I would be without these people in my life.....

I went back to my hometown this weekend.I grew up in a town that is only 171 people and every year they have a town celebration. Well, this year it was the 100 year celebration. I had my best friend from college Marie and my best friend from High school Tonya come out with me and of course my favorite cousin Patrick and my sister karen. We all hit the "town" I HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TIME!!! I got to see some people that I have not seen in such a long long time. It was truly amazing the reactions that I got from people. I had so many people tell me that I looked skinny ok the word skinny is not a word I would have used about myself 5 months ago, but I did feel good and it was good to hear that. I had such a good time. Drank some cocktails and even got hit one more than once. It was so much fun to go out and let loose and dance and dance. I was a dancing machine and sang some Karokee... Fun time. Below are some pics of my weekend. It was so so great of my parents to offer to let us all tent in the yard. My mom cooked food for us all weekend and I think that they enjoyed it as well. My friends love my mom and dad. Why wouldn't they?? It was a good weekend can't wait until next year.....
Thanks again to everyone!!!

Well I had my 7 month anniversary last week. It is so amazing that is has been 7 months already. My life is going good. Just a little crazy at times. I am down 92 pounds and feeling pretty good about that. I sometimes wish I would be down more, but don't want to complain about 92 pounds. 7 months ago I would have never guessed I would be where I am at today. It is so amazing. I went shopping this past weekend with my girlfriends and bought a size 14 pant. SIZE 14!!! Size large shirt! That is amazing to me! I love it. I have made so many amazing friends and have been given my life back.

I am at 169 that means I am down 100 pounds.... AMAZING!!!! I have lost 100 pounds... I am so so excited. I can not believe it. My goal was to be down 100 by Christmas and I made it. If anyone would have told me 8 months ago how much my life would change, I would not belive them. I am so happy that I had the surgery and I feel that I have been given my life back. I have meet so many wonderful people and everyone holds a special place in my heart...Thanks to everyone!!!

I have not updated my profile in awhile, but just thought I would get some thoughts out. Not much has been going on with the weight loss. it has slowed A LOT!!! Frustrating as I have about 30 pounds to go, but I know that I can do it. It may just take some time. It is crazy to me that in two weeks, I will be 10 months out from surgery. Things are going so well. I went shopping the other day and had on size 12 jeans!!! YES that is right SIZE FREAKING 12!!! I don't know if I would leave the house in them yet, they are a little tight, but they buttoned!! i was so so happy. This surgery does wonders for people. Other than that, life is good. i have developed some MAJOR migranes so I am going to the doctors about that, but not much else.....




December 21, 2005
Hello to my OH family. 10 Months ago today I was getting ready to have WLS.. I was scared, nervous, and excited.... I can't belive that today it is 10 months. That is so so surreal to me that time can go that fast. I have nothing but gratitude to my surgeon and his staff. I feel that my life has been saved and am so so blessed to have been approved for this procedure. It is not easy, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Ok heres the numbers Day of surgery: 269 pounds Today: 163 Pounds. That is a total loss of 106 pounds...!!!!!
I am wearing size 14 which are getting big and size L or XL shirts depending on style.
I know that I probally could be down more, I have just beenworking so much at my second job so my resolution for 2006 is to make me a priority in my life. I want to get to the gym more and I would love to be at goal weight at one year.

Thanks to all on the board. I could not have come this far without any of you. Thanks for all the lifelong friends that I have made...

Happy Holiday to all!!



September 28,2006
Gosh I feel so aweful that I have not updated forever!! I have been so busy with life enjoying my new body and my new size. I am doing very very well. Still have issues with red meat, sugar and anything mayo based. I can deal with those issues. I am down about 114 pounds I would love to lose another 20 but I am so happy where I am at and if this is where I am supposed to be, then I am happy. I am still working all of the time and am NOT engaged yet. LOL. I still love him though.. We will be together 8 years soon. He has been the most supportive person to me during myjourney. It is hard to imagine that it has been a year and a half already. I am truly truly blessed to have had the surgery and met all the wonderful people!
Thanks again to everyone for continued support.
