August 25, 2010: Here is my story. I am currently awaiting a revision of my RNY I had done in August 2006. I initially lost but it stopped even though I was jogging 2 miles a day and exercising like crazy. I was not small but I was healthy!! I felt great... I went from 440 lbs to 310 lbs. I was working and taking very good care of myself. In October 2007 I was blessed with my second pregnancy. I gained alot of weight. After having my baby, I struggled to lose even a pound. I am a diabetic and have many many health issues. I am currently 371 pounds and eating only 800 calories a day. I see a nutritionist monthly at Womack Army medical Center. She is great!!! I have an amazing new surgeon here at Fort Bragg, Dr Olsen. Actually found out that both Dr Olsen, and Dr St Jean will be doing my revision because I am extremely high risk. I am scheduled for revision surgery on September 24th! It is not known what kind of surgery I am having and Dr Olsen said she wont know till she gets in there! It will be either a re do of the RNY or a DS. Either way it is in God's hands and He is in control! I feel very blessed to be where I am in life. i have a wonderful husband and two amazing children. I started writing to day to document my journey.
