ITS GETTING CLOSER
Nov 12, 2008
Ok so heres whats been going on- Ive been really busey trying to get ready for Christmas just incase i dont feel up to it afterwards. This is really benefiting me too as all my kids want those must have toys and right now there still all around. So I went to the hospital today and meet with Tina-Marie the bariatric nurse coordinator. We went over the entire surgery and post-op, which was great it eased any concerns i had. And I left with this awsome food journel. So usually we spend black friday putting up the xmas tree but im kinda thinking of doing the night before my surgery to unwind and spend time with my kids, will see. So I have lost all of my fear and I am very excited and I cant wait to be skinny!
Nov 7th UP-DATE
Nov 07, 2008
Ok so I had my final surgon appt today along with my final weigh in. Soooo I gained 1 lb., i dont even think he looked! He said nothing about my weight> However he did give me a test about the surgey, and what to expect(i got 3 wrong) but again he didnt seem to worry he just wnt over my wrong answers and explained them to me. So then i got my 2weeks preop shakes that i start on Monday (oh Yum Yum). So this will be painstakingly interesting. So anyways we had a great Halloween, weather was beautiful here in Jersey my kids were Dora, a rockstar Diva and Jason and my cute litte maltipoo was a ladybug. So now i wait until my next appt which is the 12th with the hospital- i'll let ya'll know how that goes!
So I Finally Have A Date!!!
Oct 21, 2008
So Im fianally approved and have a date!!!! Im so happy and scared, kinda stuck in too emotions at once. The next 5 weeks are gonna feel like forever! Something funny- I took my 3yr old daughter Maiya to the Doctors yesterday and the doctor came in the room and bent down to her and said to her " hello how are you, are you fine today?" and Maiya responded " im not FINE im MAIYA! " it was soooo cute, just had to share. So i go next on the 7th for a final weigh in and to get my protien shakes. Im very nervous, i need to find away to calm that. Wish me luck, Angie

Staring my Journey!!!
Sep 14, 2008
Hi everyone I am very new to this but it seems to be going fast!!! My name is Angie and I have been over weight since the age of 7. I was really in active as a little kid so my mom put me in dance school and thats when my weight blew up! Go FIGURE! I have been thinking about WLS alot and even attempted like 5yrs ago but got to scared and back out. But now with all of my complications from my diabetes I am determined to go through with it or this disease is going to kill oneday to soon. So I started this newJourney last Monday night when I went to my 1st support group meeting for Dr. Wasser. It was great everyone was so helpful and supportive, I really need this (support that is). So Tina from insurance called me on wednesday and said that my insurance said I have no wait - NO WAIT! I thought that was amazing! So she said start seeing all these doctors and come in on the 25th and well get it going. So so far so good, had my pscy evaluation last Friday and this week I see everyone else. Im so scared I think you need the 6months to get yourself prepared. In one aspect I wish I had it and in the other if I had 6 months then I would be to afraid I talk myself out of the surgery. Well I'll keep you all posted wish me luck as I do you. - Angela
