My name is Christina Davis and i am 30 years old with 3 children, been married for 11 years. Saw Dr. Coirin today for my consult. He is very pleasant .They said now i need a Physc appt.. I think im sane... hee hee...

8-14-03
Called and got an appt to see the physc on Saturday 8-16 hopefully i pass the test LOL..im getting so much information from this site i love it..i cant wait to get this fat off me. im trapped in this body until someone gives the word, hopefully soon.. wish me luck all...

8-16-03
Went to the phyc appt today went really well, need to fill out some questionnaire then he said he will fax sonja and tell her im sane, hee hee...hopefully it will move fast...

8-25-03
...called dr. coirins office today and found out they received my phyc evaluation but they have not received the letter of recommendation from my primary physician..i asked her for that 1 month ago. so now im going to have to wait. the wait i think is the hardest part, sonya told me she would fax it over to the insurance but she said it would be denied cause we don’t have all the paperwork yet..i was so happy when she said she was gonna fax it, then it was just a let down, how can any of you out there stand the waiting game...i tell ya it is driving me crazy, then i think i have gained alot of weight, i thought i was gonna have surgery soon so i pigged out on everything..im totally regretting that now. i read so much on this site and it has been such a big help to me...i find myself on this site at least 4-5 times a day. i want my life back i want to be a thin mom and wife, my husband and i rarely have sex because i am so uncomfortable with my body. i pray every night that i will get closer to my wls but everyday just feels wasted..oh well... i'll live...

8-29-03
Well it has been a long frustrating week, i am still waiting for my dr to write the referral letter to the surgeon, ive only asked for it now for 3 weeks.. i wish i could just go to the dr's office and write it myself and have her sign it..then take it to dr coirins office and fax it to the insurance myself, i mean really how hard can it be? Ok enough whining but man my patience are runny thin, i am supposed to go visit my sister at her new home in Shasta this weekend but i dont want to see all the skinny minnis on the lake and i cant even fit in a swim suit..have you ever made excuses not to go somewhere cause you just feel so fat? And on top of it my sister didnt get the fat genes, I DID.... i hope all of you have a safe and fun holiday weekend, im hiding from the world.....

Well it was a long weekend, didnt do much.. i think i read all the profiles on here. The waiting game is still driving me insane, i cant wait to call my pcp tomorrow and find out if she wrote the letter of recomendation yet..I think she is a little hesitant to release me for surgery because of all the problems ive had in the past, i had a simple hernia repair last September and it got really infected and did not heal right due to my diabets, i had to go to UCSF and have the mesh removed because of infection, I had nurses come to my home and i was on iv therapy for over 2 months, they inserted a pick line in my arm, its not like a regular iv, it is one that goes to your heart through your arm. After i had that done for 2 months i finally thought i was on the road to recovery, then suddenly i couldnt breathe one day, went to the emergency room and found out i had a pulmonary embolism, it was already in my lungs...after being on blood thinners for over 3 months i was still not doing very well i was put on oxygen 24 hours a day at home cause i couldnt breathe. Finally one day i was just laying in bed and i started coughing up a lot of blood, rushed to the hospital and they found i had a blood clot inside my right ventricle of my heart..it was bouncing in and out of my floopy valve, i was rushed to Sacramento where they performed open heart surgery on me and i thought that was the end of this horrible night mare.. Surgery was on March 15...was back in the hospital again on June 1st come to find out i had another clot that lodged in one of the arteries that leads to the heart. Back in again for yet another open heart surgery..It is now September and i think i am doing fairly well, My cardiologist is the one whom recomended this wls for me, he is hoping that it will get rid of most of my health problems, so thats why my pcp is so reluctant to authorize me to have this surgery.. I told her i would rather die a thin person than to have 8 or 10 paul berrors at my funeral. She didnt find that funny...lol... Anyways that is my story and i just pray to god that i will live a long healthy life and watch my children grow, i know this surgery will add a few more years to my life and that is what i wish for..

9-4-03
Well today i finally heard from my PCP and she told me if i wanted this surgery she would want me to sign a statement stating she is not responsible if something happens to me.. COVERING HER BUTT..So i did and she said she will have the letter for me tomorrow..yay...finally im getting somewhere..now all i have to do is give the letter to Dr.Coirin's office and hopefully they will fax it soon, I hate that his office is only open half days on friday..i think i will go down there first thing in the morning and hand deliver the letter..this has been such a difficult process, i never imagined how hard it was gonna be.Today i went to lunch with a girl friend which is pregnant, and the waitress asked "who was due first"? I was so embarrased..i wanted to scream!I cant wait to finally have this surgery and look normal again.

9-5-03
Well its oficial, i finaly got the letter of necessity from my dr, and it is officially on Sonya's desk, of course she is not in today, the lady that answered the phone said Sonya will call me Monday, geesh......all this time waiting, now i am so anxious i want the paperwork to be faxed now, i hope my insurance dosent take long to look it over..i wonder how booked dr coirin is?? I hope my surgery date will be before the Holidays, wouldnt that be a nice gift..i want to go to Great America before the season is over, and maybe i will be able to fit on some of the rides. I want to start going to some support group meetings but i never know when they are. Maybe that will kill some time.The hardest part of this journey, i know i can speak for everyone is the waiting..I have never been much of a patient person, and believe me it is taking its toll. Since the begining of this journey i think i have gained more weight, I have been trying to get in a lot of water during the day, i think i drink more milk than anything. i dont know why i like milk so much, i can do without soda so i know after the surgery it wont be a problem, but dont take away my milk, they say that after the surgery sometimes you cant tolerate dairy products, is that true?? Im not to much of a meat eater either, but i know i will miss my tri tip...yummy...i usually buy the tri tip at Costco they marinade it and its pretty cheap too..well thats about all for now, i will let you know if i hear from Sonya on monday, if she dont call me you know i will call her... have a great weekend everyone!!

9-08-03
Well today was the day i got the call from Sonya, and this is what she said"we no longer are contracted with Health Net, but we are trying to get contracted again so it will take up to 3 weeks",so whomever has Health Net be prepared to wait 3 weeks before they will even send it in.. So that was a major dissapointment today, I finally recieved the letter i needed from my dr only to have to wait another long period of time. I am almost ready to give up, i dont ever think i will get this done, i think it is because i want it so bad. I feel like crap everyday, i dont even want to get up in the morning anymore, my days are too long and i cant wait untill it is time to go to bed..i just want to sleep all the time,i know that is depression..but i am afraid to tell anyone about it cause they might thing i am going looney..i will post more when i actually hear something, take care everyone

9-14-03
I guess one more week to wait to see if DR. Coirin is going to be contracted with Health Net again..On wednesday i was watering my lawn and slipped and fell and fractured my tail bone, omg it hurts so bad..im not really feeling the pain alot because my DR. gave me some mussle relaxers and some Darvocets, so im in la la land..i want so bad to get a call from the drs office this week telling me they are excepting my insurance again. I made the mistake of reading the memorial page, it was so scary..especially the ones that developed a blood clot..ive already been through that too many times. It made me a little scared,it didnt change my mind but it did scare me, I am constantly thinking what if i die, do i want my children to know that i died trying to be thin..but on the other hand if i dont do something about my weight i will die from either diabetes or some other illness i have. So i guess its a 50/50 chance..i want so bad to be thin again, not only for me but for my kids, i dont want food to rule my life anymore..it has gotten to the point where i plan out what i am gonna eat during the day, then i send my kids to the store to buy junk food,im letting them think it is ok to be fat. I dont want them to think that is a healthy way of eating, i serve veggies with our dinner, but they would rather have fast food or something else, so veggies are kind of non exsistant..My life feels like it is on hold, as i sit in this house day after day, i feel i am just wasting my life away, i know if i were thin i would be out doing things, getting excersise, playing with my kids at the park,,, too many things to mention. I prey to god this will hurry up and happen so i can get on with my life and be a new person..well thats enough gripeing for now, take care all and god bless..

9-16-03
Wow i cant believe it, my paperwork was finally faxed over to the insurance.. Now its the ultimate waiting game.I hope i can post a date soon.My tail bone is healing nicely, not much pain anymore.Sonya said it should take a couple of days to hear from the insurance.I hope i can have the surgery in October and not have to wait a long time. I will post more when i know something, Please say a Prayer for me and keep your fingers crossed..

9-18-03
Today i called the insurance co. and they said i was not an active member, well thats bull. I switched to Cobra insurance wich is also Health Net/Delta Ipa.. anyways to make a long story short they reactivated me and told me to contact the drs office to refax the claim. So i called and talked to Sonya and she said that she hasent even faxed it over yet.. Tuesday she told me it would be done that day, no later...WELL... still waiting for it to be faxed..i hate when someone tells you they are going to do something and never do. I am not a patient person as you can tell. Dont get me wrong, Sonya is a very nice person and i know that they are swamped, i just want it to be my turn.. Maybe if we worked there it would go faster, im gonna call and see if they need help...lol..will update more when i know something, till then take care and please keep me in your prayers, as well as all of you are in mine.

9-22-03
I posted the other day and it never went through, sometimes i think the computer gets over loaded. I talked to Sonya last week and she said it was mailed out last tuesday, i called her again on thursday and it still wasnt mailed out yet, so i will call her tomorrow and find out. I still need an angel out there, although i feel my father is my angel looking down on me from heaven, but i guess i need a live one..so anybody can have the job if they want to. Ive been kinda sad lately, just thinking of my father being gone, i think what if i dont make it through the surgery, well then i guess i will have my father there to meet me on the other side. I have been reading about a lot of people getting blood clots after having the surgery, and that scares me because i have already had blood clots in the lungs and in my heart, maybe i will have a better chance of not getting them because i already take blood thinners everyday.. i dont know i feel if your gonna go your gonna go...you can walk outside and get hit by a car ya never know..i hear alot of you on here talking about how much weight your loosing and i cant wait to be one of you also..well thats about it i will post more when i hear something, i think i will call my insurance tomorrow also. take care all of you and god bless everyone..

10-02-03
Well i talked to the insurance yesterday and they told me they are waiting for more information from the Dr. So it will take a little longer. I have an Angel it is Amy Mitchell she is so sweet.I am so tired of waiting, i wish they would just approve or deny me, today i am going to my Grandmothers funeral, she passed away last Friday from a heart attack. I will see many relatives i havent seen in years, and i will be bigger than ever before, how embarrasing..so nothing new has changed just still playing the waiting game, i will post more when i hear something, take care and may god bless you all.

10-03-03
Today is my wedding anniversary....yay for me.... i talked to the insurance and they said the reason why they dont have an answer for me is because the Medical Director wants to talk to Dr. C... oh no why?? they wouldnt tell me..i think it has something to do with all my heart surgeries ive had..scary...So i called Dr.C's office and found out he is out of town cause his father is really ill. I prey for him and his family..They said he will be back on Monday so he will talk to the insurance then..My grandmothers funeral was yesterday so ive been depressed. i seen so many of my relatives and they told me i looked fine, but i know better than that. After having the heart surgeries i gained alot of weight, Thank you Amy for all the encouraging words you give, you brighten my day..well thats all for now, will update when i hear something, take care all and god bless..

10-7-03
Well very bad news, i got the call i have been so patiently waiting for and it wasnt the news i wanted to hear. Sonya called and said Dr.Coirin had talked to the medical director of my insurance, and they agreed that with all my surgeries ive had before i would have to go to a University Hospital that specializes in complicated cases like mine. They said Dr.Coirin is to new to this and they would feel better if i had someone who has done this for a lot longer than him. Sonya also said it is going to take probably six months just to get a consultation at UCSF, how depressing is that..Ive come to the conclusion that this is never going to happen for me and i should just give up now..I am so tired of being Diabetic and tired of all the medication i take daily..thanks for listening...

10-15-03
This will be my official last entry, I have loved all of your stories, i have laughed with you as well as shed a few tears too,i have loved every moment..unfortunately i will never officially be a looser,well not surgically anyways. I have been told that i am way too high of a risk for this kind of procedure. Last Wed i went to my cardiologist, having some chest pains, they found i had a lot of fluid surronding my heart..I was immediately taken to the hospital. They did open heart surgery on me on Friday. I had over 2 quarts of bloody fluid on top of my heart,they dont know what is causing this..I am a little scared and confused.Not knowing why this is happening to me is what bothers me the most.They did another echo cardiogram before i left the hospital yesterday and yet they found more fluid..scary..so now i will be checked daily and we will figure out what to do about it. I want to say a special Thank YOU to AMY MITCHELL she truley has been an angel to me.your inspiring words are very much appreciated,anyone who has her as your angel will truley be blessed, i wish you luck on your journey and i wish you nothing but happiness and success on your weight loss.Thank you all for listening and i wish you all nothing but luck and health on your journeys..its been wonderful talking to all of you, and please while you are saying your prayers tonight, take a moment and say an extra one for me, i know im blessed already but one more wont hurt..God bless you all..Christina Davis

Hello all, i know i said that i was saying good-bye, well i lied i couldnt stand to stay away...This is like my family on here,i feel like i know everyone of you..Well the good news is that i am so much better, the last time i posted i said i had the fluid thing around my heart, well after they removed the fluid, i began to feel awesome,im still not out of the woods so to speak to have the surgery, but i am getting closer to a healthier life. I have joined WW again and it is working for me, im not losing as fast as i want to, but atleast its coming off.I am still on coumadin which is a blood thinner, and they say i will be on that for a while..ugg..that time of the month is not fun, sorry men..i am going to school to become a Notary and i should be done with that very soon. I am happy to see that some of you had theyre dreams come true to have the surgery, like i said before I am not giving up hope,I was sad to hear what happend to Vicky..Hopefully she will be on her way to recovery real soon,I just wanted to say Hi everyone and im glad to be back in the swing of things..thank you for all the well wishes and prayers they were very much appreciated..Its nice being back.. love to all..

Sorry i havent updated in a while, so much has been going on.. I went out and bought a nice tredmill, i actually walk 2.5 miles a day! Can you believe it.. It has been doing wonders on my body, i have so much more energy now, im on the go all the time.. The Weight Watcher thing was put on hold for a little while, but im back on track now, im thinking if i continue to walk each day and watch what im eating i think i can actually loose some weight. I still however am hoping to one day have this surgery, i have not given up hope, i know i will loose weight with what im doing now, but im just scared that i wont keep it off for long. My Dr just told me that i have very high cholesterol, all my life being overweight i have never had a problem with it, now i do..I want this surgery for so many reasons, i think my first reason is to be healthy, and my 2nd is to not be diabetic anymore. I contacted my Dr to get me a referral to see a specialist at ucsf so hopefully they will get back to me soon.They said it might be as much as 6 months before they can eaven see me, and with my heart problems they cant guarentee they can do anything.I pray everyday for a miracle..I am so proud of all of you, i read your stories everyday, and im so incouraged after i have read them. You all are truly an insperation to me, thanks for sharing your life with us.. till next time, god bless you all..

04-14-04
Well after all this time my Dr. finally told me she is refering (sp) me to a university hospital. I have not been doing good as far as exercising like i should, matter of fact i have been so bad i have gained more weight, i am now up to 249 the highest i have ever been in my life, IM SCARED YOU GUYS, i have 3 beautiful children, and i am afraid i will not be here for long if i keep this up.I am going to start attending support group meetings, i have heard they are very helpful and believe me i need help..So here i go again in this long waiting process. hopefully it wont take long to get approved, wish me luck all..Oh and Amy if your reading this, can you do something about my site, i dont have any more room.... thanks

 Well lets see i am 33 years old married to a wonderful man of 9 years have 3 beautiful kids, and hoping to have surgery.. My seminar is on Aug 9. Im looking foward to going and getting the ball rolling, You all may remember me from about 3 years ago when i posted i couldnt have surgery due to blood clots i keep getting, well that has all changed now and i have a filter in my chest now to catch all the clots. My doctor thinks its a good idea to have the surgery and has given me the green light to proceed, im excited and very happy.. Will post more later.

Went to the seminar, it was very informational.. Dr Coates is really informative..

Went to my consult with Dr Coates... Love his staff... They told me what i needed to get authourization, i need a consult with Dr Morgan.. which is today... and i need a referral from my pcp. And i need to go back to Dr Coates office next month to show im loosing weight.. Then i need to take the 4 hour course and then i need a dietician report then that is it.. She said i should have surgery in Oct or Nov.. Im so excited..

11.13.06

Went to my 4 hour seminar today.. It was really fun, i learned alot and loved the people that were there.. I met a lady from Napa her name is Renee, and she is have alot of trouble trying to get her insurance to pay for the location of the surgery..I have many prayers for you Renee..

11/17/06

Today im am so angry.. I finally told my mil last night that i am going to have surgery.. She said what kind, and i told her that it is a gastric bypass.. She started yelling at me saying what a mistake i am making and please dont do this.. She is out of her mind, im tired of being around negativity all the time, Luckily my husband is pretty supportive with my decission.. I have an ANGEL her name is Corrina Gomez she is an absolute doll.. We have so much in common, i am greatful to have her in my life.. THANK YOU CORRINA..YOUR THE BEST.. Anyways i am hoping to have a get together for my last meal.. Looking foward to that.. Cant wait to meet all of you.. 18 days to go..YIPPIE

11/20/06

I cant belive i am officially 2 weeks away from having surgery...omg i am so excited..Unfortunately i have to cook Thanksgiving for my husbands whole family..Im truley upset about that..I have started my 2 week preop diet today i am working on my protein shake now.. Its not so bad really..Last night i really pigged out.. I had pizza and a hot fudge sundae from McDonalds, it was so yummy.. I dont know what i am going to do about Thanksgiving though, beings that i am cooking this year is gonna make me eat it all..lol...But im going to try to stick to my diet..My husband and i arent doing to good, he is so neglectfull, here is an example... He leaves for work at 6am and does not get home untill 6pm, when he gets home he runs right to the computer and stays on it untill he goes to bed, he even eats his dinner at the computer.. We havent gone anywhere together in over 6 months.. Then on the weekend he is on it from the time he gets up until the time he goes to bed.. I am really sick of this shit..He finally took me to  the movies yesterday, it was nice.. Then i said if you wouldnt be on the computer so often we would be able to do more.. And he said i cant stand to be around you cause all you do is bitch at me.. So that was are big fight and i really dont like him right now..Oh well i guess i will get over it, we have been married for 9 years and have been together for 14 years.. Oh well i guess ill be fine just had to vent a little.. Thanks for reading i will post more as the Big day approaches..

11/22/06

I am so excited about my surgery coming up.. I am putting up my Christmas Tree today.. Getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow, i have almost everything i need, although i forgot a few things and need to go back to the store.. I have everything i need for the surgery.. I am only 13 days away time flu by so fast i cant believe its almost time.. I have done really crappy on my 2 week diet.. Ugg, I did fine the first couple of days and then i couldnt take it anymore and had to eat.. im a very bad girl i know.. I will try again after Thanksgiving.. I think i am going to have open surgery because all my scars i have from previous surgeries.. I have had two open heart surgeries to remove blood clots, i have had a hysterectomy, i have had two hernia repairs, i have had a c section. and i have had gallbladder surgery.. So i think Dr. Coates might tell me i need open rny.. Anyways I hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving and My God Bless Us ALl..

Thanks for reading..

11/27/06

Thank goodness Thanksgiving came and went.. Talk about eating a ton. Well im officially 8 days away from surgery feeling good, little scared.. Pretty calm though.. Put my tree up the day before Thanksgiving, got all the decorating out of the way.. I havent stuck to my diet.. Maybe 2 days of it and that was it.. I am diabetic and get very hungry during the day and just couldnt stick with it..The diet made my blood sugar drop really low and i couldnt tolerate it.. My preop to the hospital is on Wed at 10:00am and then my preop with Dr Coates is on Friday at noon.. I cannot believe next Tuesday i will be on the loosing side.. Omg it is finally coming true..Im so excited..My surgery will be at 7:30 am first one on the schedule, so i have to be there at 5:30 am what a morning that is gonna be..Untill then i will keep you posted on my feelings and fears before the big day.. Thanks for reading.

12/01/06

Well today is my pre-op with Dr Coates, im a little nervous because im afraid to be weighed, you see i havent followed my 2 week diet before surgery, ive been a bad girl.. Only because i know im going to have open RNY so i figured why should i shrink my liver when they will be able to see it open..I think i have gained about 5 pounds at least since my last app in Sept.. Oh well, im a little nervous about the surgery and i have so many emotions going on.. All i keep talkin about to my family is how many days i have left and how excited i am, my husband is getting tired of me talking about it.. I really hope and pray the surgery will go well on Tuesday.. I have had so many health problems and infections from surgery.. I just pray i dont get an infection from this, the last time i got a staph infection from a hysterectomy i had in Dec of 2003 and had to have it packed everyday and was in the hospital for 27 days at Stanford.. It finally closed in May of the next year..So i just hope and pray i dont have to go through that again..I had open heart surgery in 2002 and before they did my surgery the gave me a shot and the dr called it the happy shot.. Im hoping they will give that to me because i am so nervous and that shot really calmed me down..ONly 4 more days, and counting i cant believe it.. Yay im so happy.. I will post more later when i come back from Dr COates office today..

12/04/05

I cant believe tomorrow is the big day.. I am a little nervous and anxious at the same time.. There are so many things going through my head right now, the what ifs are bothering me the most..I just got a call from my angel Corinna, she is such a sweetheart.. She was going to come all the way to Modesto from Fresno to be with me during surgery.. I told her no because that is just rediculous traveling all that way.. Thank you anyway Corinna. You have made my day just by calling and wishing me the best.. On another note, the bowel prep was discusting, eww that stuff tasted so nasty, i wish i would have gotten the cherry flavored instead of the lemon lime stuff..Didnt go down very well, it hasnt worked yet and it has been a couple of hours now.. My stomach is really burning though.. I feel awful i hardly got any sleep last night. Maybe 2 hours at the most. I know tonight i wont be able to sleep though.. I have to leave here at 4:45 to be in Modesto by 5:30am.. Surgery is set for 7:30am Dr Coates said he wanted me in first due to the fact that i am diabetic, and they dont know if i will need insulin or not because i cant take it in the morning..So that is nice to be the first in line. Hopefully i will get up to my room soon after and not wait until there is a bed free.. But who knows. Anyways i have to clean my house now and get ready for tomorrow, i havent even packed yet.. I will probly post more later knowing i wont be able to sleep, Wish me luck, and i will see you all on the losers bench..

12/10/06

Im home and feeling pretty good.. Surgery went very well. It was on the 5th.. We got to the hospital at 5:30 am and they took me back immediately, The nurse took my weight and vitals. Then put an Iv in my arm.. They gave me a morphine shot because i had an awful headache.About 10 minutes later the anesteshia guy came in and asked what i was allergic to, and if i had any questions..Then the next thing i knew i was givin a happy shot and felt really really good. They wheeled me to surgery and i got on the little table next thing i knew i was out.They didnt even tell me they were knocking me out it just happend. Then i woke in the recovery room in a little pain but very nausiated..I stayed in recovery until 6:30pm because they didnt have any room in the icu for me.. Yes i had to go to the icu because my blood sugar would not come down. After i got to the icu the nurse gave me some ice chips and they tasted so good.They werent very experienced in the icu though, when i finally got to drink water they tried to give me a straw. And i said i couldnt have a straw, and the nurse said oh i didnt know that. Anyways the next couple of hours i asked if i could go for a walk and they said no not now. Then at about 2 am they came in and said ok are you ready for a walk now? I was like damm i just fell asleep. But i got up anyway and went for a walk, it was so nice. The gas wasnt to bad at all. I forgot to mention i dont have six holes i have 7. THey had to put in an extra hole to hold up my liver..Dr Coates said he has never seen a liver as big as mine ever.. I did the 2 week diet too and still did not shrink the liver, go figure..I was released from the hospital on Thursday at 7:00 pm.. They were really busy and couldnt get to me.. But now im home and doing good, i have lost 14 pounds in 6 days thats pretty good. I want to eat though, i know what everyone means when they say they have head hunger cause boy let me tell you i do.. Untill next time..
