12/25 Merry Xmas and 17 pounds gone-Wow! Pre-Op

Dec 25, 2009

12/25- So I weighed in this morning around 8am and people I must say sticking to the pre-op diet is really beyond my expectations. I weighed in at 284 pounds down from 301 when I first weighed in back in October. I'm so impressed that I have stuck through this long but what can I say I'm a true Capricorn, we never give up on what we set out to do trust me. I am thankful for so many things today on this beautiful Xmas day. I'm healthy almost, I have a beautiful family who loves me unconditionally and I have great best friends who take pride in being behind me 150%. I only have a couple of days left to the big day. Wish me Luck

12/23 What God has planned 4 me is already set in stone!

Dec 23, 2009

12/23/2009- I just hit me that everything will change in my life after 12/30/2009. The way people act towards me after my surgery versus what they did before. The way I eat versus how I did before and the way my social life was before versus what it will be. How do I accept these changes and am I ready for the real vs. the fake. What do you think?

12/11- The best thing about God's Love

Dec 11, 2009

Hi OH Fam!

I can never stop giving God enough praise and thank you's about being in my life. He has carried me so long through everything. It seems like everything is such a fairytale and how I have so much to look forward to with my family and my God kids. The things we never think about are the things we so forget is what brought us through to the next obstacle. I'm glad to have very good friends/spiritual side/love and unconditional support that I cant see going anywhere for a long time. If this is what God wants then so it shall be written.

Jus returned from 5 day stay at Hospital

Dec 07, 2009

Hi OH FAM!

12/07 -Well where do we start. When the devil wants you to know that he has the upper hand he will show you in many different ways. But things take a dramatic turn when you never renounce God. If God has walked with you through faith he will continue to do just that. I was rushed to the hospital on 12/03 for bleeding/vomiting/and fainting. This came from a certain food poison that was leaked in my system and ignited my current condition. My mom is such a angel and blessing she rushed me straight to the hospital where I had to stay for 5 days.  I had countless needles/test/needles/test/colon scopes and more needles/pills and test. The bed was so uncomfortable I was just ready to get the hell on,LMAO. They had to good nurses I will never forget they were excellent the whole time. The two doctors I had were also heaven sent. At the end of the day my surgery is still on and yes I asked before I was discharged today like 1500 times,LOL. So OH FAM we are good to go. Please remember to watch where and what you eat things aren't the same anymore. No one wears gloves and care about peoples health. But I'm OK and ready to start my new life soon.

12/02 Cardiologist Still Pending

Dec 02, 2009

As you know im still waiting for my Echo test to be reviewed by the doctor so that my surgeon can recieve the Clearance and proceed before I come in on the 22 of Decemeber. When I did the Echo test the tech advised my heart was in grat shape and saw no major issues to be alarmed about but needed a second opinion from the acutal doctor. Now whats confusing is why is it taking them so long to send my surgeon the clearance paper. It has now been a week. Now one thing about it im not stressing nor am I getting my blood pressure up but im a on time kinda person and when im asked to do something its done. But I keep forgetting people arent like you because everyone does things differently. I just hope and pray this guy sends my information on over with clearance so it can be over and done with. Thanks guys for listenin

11/30 Cardiologist Called 2day

Nov 30, 2009

Got a call from the Cardiologist today and she put a escalation on my paper work to be cleared by the physician. She stated that the high blood pressure should not stop the surgery but they would like for me to stay on the meds until further notice or after the surgery while they monitor. I still feel good about the clearance and know that it will all fall in place before surgery day in 3 weeks. I know they just want to make sure my heart is in tact which the tech did say everything looked good but had to get the final word from the physician. The best way to see through hurdles is to not worry about what is to be anyhow. Through God all things are possible. I see it as a blessing for everything to happen the way it is. On to the next step I got Pre-Op Diet in 2 weeks lets get to it!

God Favors Me Each Time-Updates

11/24- Cardiac Clearance

Well this was what I expected it to be. I went in and had my blood pressure taken and once again sky high as usual 170/98 and I was blown that i was even standing straight. But for some odd reason I think besides the nervousness and the family history it really has not affected me yet. So a great doctor came in and suggested that I go on blood pressure meds for 4 weeks until surgery to see if it could come down any and non the less it has. Thank God! The trick is stop worrying and put all your faith in God on each task in life. So I have been taking my pills since 11/24 and It's now 11/28 4 days out and I feel great. I had no side effects or issues..(knock on wood). The doctor also explained that I needed a Echo test which was great and the results to the tech look good but had to be approved by a doctor before given the go ahead clearance. So I want know if they cleared me until Tuesday. My heart sounded great, blood flowed great but one artery sounded a little low because of the high blood pressure issue. But my tech told me nothing to worry about. So please everyone pray for my clearance on that note.

11/24-Pulmonary Clearance

Were do I start. The first test was fast and clear. I blew a hole inside that pipe to show them that after 6 years of smoking my lungs were still strong like "HE-MAN"! LOL. Then I had my chest Xray and all was good. So I'm happy to say I got my clearance paper after 1 hour!!! HOLLA!!!!


11/27-Upper GI

Now this was interesting. I was very worried about drinking the Barium and it coming back up. Let me tell you It stayed down with no gas and no problem. People DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR! It was not bad at all. Now I must say it was not tasteful but chalky and thick but I went in like a champ and came out like a champ. My test results were excellent. Just a mild hernia which the doc said could be fixed and 90% of his patients have anyway. Nothing to worry about. So everything was good and he said he would fax the clearance over to my surgeon in 48 hours. Cleared!!!! Thank GOD!


So now I wait for Cardiac Clearance which is still in my favor by God! I know everything will be just fine.
