Welcome to my Gastricbypass Journey!
Aug 24, 2009
Welcome to my Journey Blog.....
*I have been approved to be in a gastric by pass program and I am 114 overweight with my height,too*
I have decided to write this journal as part of my journey road and why I have decided to do it, some of you knew some of you dont.
About 10 years ago, After work where I worked so hard 6 days and one day off and worked 2 jobs,too and I was single at that time,too
That one night, a co-worker invited me to a friend's house for a party, sure why not meet people for a change and get out instead go home and be a work alocholic-- that one night, was drinking and went for a shower and I fell on a bathtub and hurt my back and always thought it is just a pains went for a massage, chiropractor for those 10 years!
I had learned that I have a disc- herniated on a 5th disc. went for a PT for serveal weeks, still not helping much eventually I am always on the go with my 2 young boys.
so with that always had a 2nd thought of having a gastric bypass but my husband thought I could do better than that to excercise and eat right-- the more he realize why I wanted to do it.
My First Consolation will be on Thursday at 1230-415 with 3 providers, to discuss with a doctor, psycology and nurtions to evluate me whether I qualified for it.
Right Now I am 5 feet- 208 and My goal is 83lbs- I am just glad I dont weight over 300! and that I have to be 40 bmi- I am at 40.4 (barely)
I wanted to become a healthy mom, as a wife, and for myself and for my children,too
and a self-esteem,too I think writing does helps make me motivations, and get it going,too
maybe someday I wanted to become a Fitness Trainer and Teach other Moms out there or even a support group for deaf moms or maybe for both in general- I will see what led me to become a success with your supportive will be greatly!
I do desperately missed my " Crazymama's Group" in Chicago- we have had so much fun in 5-6 years, My close girlfriends and I became pregant the same year, and it is funny in how each month were born, and went different paths but those 5 years with my first son, Dylan "DJ" who is now 7- will always cherish those memories.
My Friends and I had our nice night out once a month to a restaurant without kids and just to talk and catch up, or who's birthday is on that month,too we'd do a get together,too and then once a month kids get together for a playmate at the mall, friends's house taking turn,too I cherish those time and memories back in IL/WI. Not that I want to move back, but I am thankful for the time and kept in touch with me since I've moved here to VT--
my friends said I've kept up the get-together if it was not for me and Julie one of a Sacrasim friend would called me an 'Evite Lady' which is TRUE--
Of course living in VT isnt the same as it is in chicago-- I've made a few close friends and I'm glad I did move on and make a new changes. My Husband, Randy had been promoted as a Supervisor for the Dorm almost a year ago- At Austine School for the deaf .
I work part time with variety of position such as Dorm ( overnight, 2nd shift) and Job Coach, Subs for Teachers this past 2 years- Now I've decided to just to only Sub once a while- and I am in the processing of doing an interview for housekeeping, this is something I've wanted to do!
Okay, here's the drills as to WHY I am doing this?
I hope to keep updates on my "Gastric Bypass" that I am determined to do it and for myself,too
and to elimate some of my "temptations" slowly changes is good,too so If I am qualified for it, and I'd continue to Blog about the Food, my weight, excercise,too
And hopefully I'll have a new job, and new Journey of this blog that will help me to stay maintain with my weight and to join fitness such as swimming.
I would appreciated your support, feedbacks and know weight is one of my biggest concern now! I dont want to end up diabetic, or so but want to become a happier person again

I had my first Consult at Lahey Clinic in Burlington,MA 7/23
I went to Lahey Clinic in Burlington,MA and is pretty impressed with the staffs, procedures,too am truly glad I went there and was referred by a friend of mine, Renie- Thank You :)
I met with a Doctor Pamela who's the director of the program for gastric bypass, and then met with a nurtionist, and a Psychology it went very well and I've been cleared and mentally,too and felt I qualified for it. GREAT NEWS!
I took the EKG test for my heart to make sure everything's all good,too
Dr.Pamela gave me a list what I need to do before I start taking 4 seminars workshop which is going to be one of a exhausted month for me! Why? because it is a 2 hours of a drive not a fun thing- but at the end it'll be worth it!
I need to be re-evaluate for my sleep disorder,too
Check with Insurances ( medicare/bcbs) but so far medicare covered 80% then the rest is with the bcbs,too
I look forward in having a life changing- it mean completely!
This week starting to wean out of soda (any kind of bubbles) hot dog,too
I can't have hot dog for (lifetime) why? because of high fat and the hot dog has a skin that can stuck into my stomach,too which surprised me and randy.
I will be joining swimming starting this friday and then I need to lose at least 10 lbs before my surgery- My surgery will be in sept or oct all depend if all goes well.
I'll keep you updated with a final date-
looking forward to a life changing within 10 weeks from now.
I just absoutely look forward to it, so I can become healthy and be a happy person again- All I have to wait is for the insurance to be "approved" this upcoming week.
