I have been gone for so long
Dec 19, 2009
I have been gone since the mid of July. Life have just been nuts for me. Since July I have lost two family members that had a long full life. My children had to call the ambulance for me and I ended up having my appendix taken out, that was worse then having my children. My son is just 10 and he did so great was not scared about making the call my little girl is 8 and she made sure the dogs where out of the way so they could come up stairs and get me to the hospital. I live in the Portage area and please to all the read this DON'T GO TO THE HOSPITAL IN PORTAGE!!!!!!! I wanted to be moved to Madison but they said that my appendix could rupture and then they pumped me full of drugs and let me sit until 11:00 the next morning before doing the surgery. What the ?@ll !!!!! I found out that the doc didn't feel that it was an emergency so he didn't come in until 9:00 to start the surgeries for that day. On a great note I'm doing good even with all of that crap
Now as for as my RNY on Jan 28,09 I'm down to 167 and my real goal is 150, would like to see 140 and I'm sure that I will but I have never felt so great in my life. I have lost 120 pounds since I started and 95 since surgery. I don't have to be on my C-pap or any of my meds for high blood pressure. All I take is the vits in the day and I'm doing great. I'm down from a 26-28 to a 12-14 now and well I just think that is nuts. I have not been this size since elementary school.... We went to a family x-mas thing yesterday with my family, and well I really didn't want to go (if you knew my family you would understand) most of them have not seen me since our brother pasted in February. My oldest sister started to cry and tell me that I look so much like our mom now that she looks and me and all she can see is mom ( my mother pasted away 8 years ago and we all miss her bunches)... It was a great time I have 9 Sib's and this was the first time that they didn't look at me like a big person that was just there. My oldest Brother Mark even talked to me like a normal person, I really don't think that my change did it all but I think that with all the loss in my family that my Sib's are trying to be more human, talk and treat each other better this is what I wanted all the time. My family is changing for the better just like me.
Thank you to everyone here that has helped me and I will not stay away so long the next time...
Happy Holidays to ALL

Still hanging in there.

I got the first appointment when they to the shrink test on you. over 700, T or F questions on if you are in your right mind or not. There where so many that didn't apply to me because of my life style. I don't drink, smoke and think about sex all day ( I have been married to long to do that / lol).
That was on the 17th of September, now my next one is on the 17 of October with the health psychologist, and the other is on the 31st with the nutritionist.
My insurance company has already approved the lath ryn for me. Did this take this long for everyone and will my date ever come.....
Now my hopes are that I will be able to get this done by Christmas. I drive school bus, and well now that school is back in I can only take so much time off.
Some please tell me that there is a light at the end of all of this.
