I AM SO EXCITED TO SAY THIS. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. WITH ALL MY ADVERSITIES, AND UPSETS, I HAVE FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED WHAT I HAVE SET OUT TO DO. GOD IS TRULY AMAZING.

Surgery went extremely well. I was in Wednesday at 2pm, and out Thursday at 6pm. I am on the full liquid diet until I meet with my surgeon on the 15th. The only issues I have are the gas pains, and the soreness of the incisions. I do however get really tired after doing the smallest things, like walking to the restroom, or showering.... I guess because I am not taking in like I used too therefore not getting all the nutrients.  I know it'll get better with time. I am just so excited for my future. Next step is getting used to this tiny tummy. :LOL.... Then from there work my way down to my goal... I have already lost about 7 lbs.... mostly water and gas... but I know the weight is going to fall off soon. Again thanks for all of your support.

Always Keesh

I am due to have surgery on September 2nd (Thank God it is finally happening)with my mother and sister's surgeon. I will be having my surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, Wednesday @ 2pm.. Wish me Luck.... Right Now the Dr. has me on a 10 day liquid fast. 3rd Day and it's rough. But I am a trooper I'll pull through..... Again thanks for all of the support that was given.... Will keep you all posted.

Well, I didn't have surgery. My father had to have immediate surgery around the time I was supposed to have my surgery on his colon because they found two tumors, it was a life and death situation.  In addition, my insurance ran out with Kaiser so now I have to start all over.....So sad but I am hopefully. It is meant for me to have this surgery and it will happen soon than later.....Thanks for all the nice comments and well wishes...Hopefully I will receive the same kind of love when it actually happens.

Finally after months of waiting, I have a date. Dr. Hahn e-mailed me last thursday/friday saying that he has reviewed my file and that everything looked great, and that Nancy will be calling me soon to give me a date. Well, being very inpatient I didn't want to wait, so I called her this morning, she had barely gotten in and back from vacation and she said everything was in disarray. However, she said she had May 20 available, I told her that was perfect. My Pre-Op is next monday, I have put on a few pounds from waiting and that time of the month, so hopefully It doesn't effect the process. I am about 8lbs from goal.Better start working it off......

Ok, so everything is completed and now I am playing the waiting game.......I can't believe I am so close to having surgery. Well, whenever that happenes. I have been corresponding with my surgeon so he knows I am all ready to go. I just hope I don't gain any weight while waiting. I eat when I am anxious so I have to be very careful and mindful as to why and when I am eating. Well Just updating you guys....

Well yesterday I called Nancy because I was having some issues with my insurance, because it was changing. Anywho, so I left her a message asking her what to do about my situation blah blah blah, and I then I told her that I was almost at goal, and that Dr. Hanh told me once I am 5 lbs from goal to call and tell her to put my file on his desk. So that is exactly what is happening. She even ordered the Blood Test and EKG....Whoop Whoop!!! How exciting. Welp hopefully, I will have surgery sometime within the New Year.  I am going to call back and asked to be on the cancellation list too....Well pray for my family and I. ...'til next time

I haven't post in a good while. Well to sum it all up, I have been aiding my father for the past months because he had esophageal cancer stage 3. Yes I did say "HAD". It was truly a miracle when the doctor came in his room and said he has no cancer. ....But it drove me crazy though, just the mere thought of....I cannot even say it.

Any who....I had my psyc eval 10/22....Went well. I was 215.... Whoop Whoop....Yeah right. I think since the doctor informed us my father doesn't have cancer anymore the weight started to creep back and forth. I am still fluctuating from 218-215. I it is so hard. These last tiny 5-8 lbs. Gosh!!!!...What do I do? Well. All I need is to get to goal, and have my adult test reviewed and I should be on the list for surgery. 

I heard my surgeon is backed up though...Like 100 files on his desk. (Dr. Hahn, Fremont Kaiser) Who knows. I just need some encouragement so I wont slide backwards....

Well here's my update. Hopefully I can update more often......

So everything at the consult went well. I finally have a goal weight. 210 tada. As simple as that. I will be some of a challenge, but I have done it a million times before, so I have to do it one more time, and this time it'll be gone forever, no coming back. Because after that 20, I'll be having surgery!!! Whoop Whoop.. I am really excited, and determined now more than ever. The feeling is amzing.
I have a plan.
Here it goes:
I am going to work out at least 5 times a week.
Eat the 1200 Calorie diet
Incorporate the Atkin diet into the 1200 Calorie Pre-Op ( Thanks Ghouliegirl) spelling
Anywho I am on my way to my goal

WOW....can I say it again WOW. I had my orientation on July 27, not even a week later I get a call from Fremont to schedule my Surgeon consult. Holy Moly....I am on my way...Freeing my inner self I like to say. But that was so quick. In my earlier posts I was talking about how inpatient I am, but darn this was really qucik. I didn't have time to register it in my head. But I am ready. I am really read for freedom, from this heavy burden of 90 lbs of extra weight to be off my back. Literally. It has really start to affect my body. Its weird because I have been even heavier befor but may it's taking a toll on me. I want to be able to have kids and raise a family. I want to be able to enjoy activities that include movement. Not that I don't now cause I go out, and I do things, but lately my back has been killing me. I am just ready. I don't want end up like my family members a live this way for the rest of my life. I want to show them that there is a way out. Man, I am just ready, to live my life to the fullest extent. I am only 23, and I have so much more to do, and I don't want anything in my way. Whew.....Glad I got that off my chest.

Well back to the real reason why I wan writing this post. I GOT A APPOINTMENT FOR A SURGEON CONSULT within a week from my orientation. If I was still at SSF I would have been still waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I hear that the even may cut out the SSF program but that's just he say she say stuff.....
Well Wish me Luck.

So I left a message yesterday with fremont to see if there had been any cancellations for the 27th. Well, me being so impatient I called Fremont again today and I spoke with the lady that is in charge of the appointments, and we changed my date from Aug 24th to July 27th at 10am. I am so excited. I am on my way Wish me luck......
