Quiting is the hardest thing to do!!!!!!!!!
Apr 14, 2008
Ok so I am jumping up and down. I have not had a ciggerette in a week. And so far I have not craved one. I can honestly say that I usally want them in the mornings with my coffee. It has been very hard in the past not to have them. Well last week I ran out and have not had one since then. I am praying and am hopeful that this will be the last of them for me. And I think of all the money that I am going tosave. I can save it for after my surgery and when it is time for me to buy clothing I can put that money towards my new wardrobe. YEA!!! I know I can! I know I can! I know I can! I will do this for me and me alone.....I just want to toot my own horn!TOOT! TOOT!
Anyway tha is all.......ME
One more step completed.
Apr 07, 2008
Well today I went and got to see the NUT and the PHYSCO. I am so glad that I am doing this. I think that everything went rather well. I really liked them. Jennifer the NUT says that since I do not have to do a pre op diet for the insurance that she wants me to start getting myself ready with the guide line diet. I am all for that. And I was recommended to go ahead and get a counselor to help me deal with issues that might pop up from my childhood. I am all for that also. I do not need to have myself go down the soul serching lane and figure some really horrible things that may have happen and be ubprepared to deal with them. MOTHER issues from a not to classic childhood. One day I may write a book about it all. Oh yea and I took that H-Pylori test. I thought it was going to be some drawn out proccess. NOT 
. So here I am now posting my experiances, I never thought that I might do something like this before. It is really a uplifting experiance. So way that is all for now. Just wait on another phone call, Oh yea I for got I have to attend a class with the NUT on May 6th. Thats all now...

One more thing down
Mar 31, 2008
Well I called today and made the appointments for the Nut and the Pyshco. I am also trying to find a sleep study, it seems the one that my reg doc wants me to go to is not in the covered group of my insurance. I have to do a food log for one week also. Boy I hate that. I hate to keep track of everything. But that is what got me here in the first place...BLAH BLAH BLAH...Well I can say that I lost 4 pounds the last few weeks. Not that is very much. But at least it is something. I have to lose a few pounds before my WLS because my doc no longer does surgery on people with a BMI higher than 50. I am at 51.6 right now. But I am accomplishing what I want to so that is important and I am trying to eat more healthy foods and snacks. I have even gotten the family to like a few of the SF jello and puddings. I have gotten a few of the recps. from eggface and will try them on the family and see how it goes. I want them to like everything so they will be more supportive of all of my healthful changes. So far so good. We are even starting to like some FF stuff too.
Well it is time for dinner and need to write everything down.

Just a little note
Mar 29, 2008
Wow I am so impressed by all of the support that I have been getting the past to days. For someone who has been avoiding people for a long time it is incrediable how it feels to open up tp every one. One day I will right my story then you will understand the hinding part of me. Let me claraify something for you so you do not think that I have an awful doc. He said that he would not do a gastric bypass, but did say that he wants me to have the VGS done and he is going to work to get it done for me. I am just a super worrier. Have been that way for years.
I have every faith In God and Dr. Davis. God is my all time hero, and I will add the doc to that very small list if he can pull this off for me.
Just me again...
Oh just great

Ok, well yesterday was my appointment with Dr. Davis. Let me tell ya'll he was an awsome dr. But I feel really sad right now. It seems that he does not want to do a gastric bypass because of all the hernias that I have had and the one that I have currently. To many problems can occur. He suggested that I have the VGS done. Which is fine by me. My only problem is I am really worried about the insurance. Like I have said before I have great insurance but seeing as how most of them reject this type of surgery, it has me scared that I may never get the surgery done. Doc says that I will continue to have the hernias until the weight comes off, and I am miserable with having had to have these repaired every year or so. This is #4 and I am sick of them. So now I have to go and seek out all my old sergeons and get the paper work sent to the doc. That is not a problem just feel it might be a waste of time for them and me if the insurance says that they are not in no way going to pay. So any way that is where I stand at present point in my journey to weight loss surgery.
But I'll not give up and with prayers and my faith that God will see me and this through I know I will prevail some how.
Gods Blessings to all who come to read this.
Just me!!!!
Six Days
Mar 22, 2008
Six days until I go and see Dr. Garth for my very first time. Of course Orrientation does not count in my book. I am so very excited and nervous at the same time. I just know that everything is going to happen the way God wants it to happen. I am so greatful to have him in my life. Hugs,
New to the game
Mar 13, 2008
well let me begin by saying that I am new to the site. I am a mother of two adult sons and have been married for 20 years now. 19 of those years I have been what they now call super morbidly obese. Wow, what a way to think of yourself.
I have also had 3 hernia operations in the past 6 years and this past October my PCP tells me she wants me to have a gastric bypass done before the now 4 hernia is repaired.
I have also had a hard time of getting around the past three years. I have had chronic back pain and my feet hurt all the time from trying to do any type of activity. Needless to say I have become a home body beacuse I donn't want to get out in public for fear of stares and needing to constantly take breaks when we (my family and I ) go to do things together. Even family functions have been a nightmare for me these last few years. I feel that I am an out going person but hate the feeling that I am being condemded for being over weight.
I am hoping to have wls as soon as I can. I do have an appointment with Dr. Garth Davis on 3/27/08 and I am praying that all goes well.
I was ahead of the game, because before I even went to orientation I had already found the things I needed form my insurance co. UHC. Now it is just up to the Dr.
I have been coming to the site for the last month and reading the fourms and really feel that this is a great site for people like me and all the over weight people out there in the world. I also finally built up the courage to join. See the thing for me is that I have always been a loner type person because I had a rough up bring and find it hard to trust others not judge me. It is hard because even my own parent did just that when I was in high school.
I am not trying to get my self to look like a super model just feel better about my self and be able to go on the long walk that I have been craving for years.
So now here I am I have joined the league of men and women who are teying to get the surgery and who have had it done. All I can do now is leave it in Gods hands and pray that all goes as I pray they will...
