She wants me to retake my blood and if the sugar comes HIGH again she is going to start me on Diabetic Meds. This is what I been trying to avoid. My suregon's secretary will be submitting all my paperwork in to he insurance company to see if they are going to authorizes the surgery. I am keeping my fingers cross, GOD knows how bad I need this to happen for me. I am praying that they do. I will keep you posted. 11/28/07 - Today I had was my 6 weeks post-op appt. Everything is going good. My surgeon is very happy wih my results. As of today I already lost 32 lbs. 12/25/07 Merry Christmas to all my OH Family. I hope you all enjoy it. WEll today I cook dinner for the family. I really thought I was going to have a hard time doing it, But I was pretty good. Thank God! So far I have lost 40lbs and feeling great. nothing much to report. talk to you next month!
I have been overweight all my life, I have tried different diets and execrise there is out there to try. I am at a point in my life that everything I do is with a struggle. I don't want to feel like that anymore. I want to be healthy, I want to be able to get up in the morning and not feel tired, or my bones and joints hurting, because of the weight. I know this is going to be a long journey and it going to take a LOT of sacrifice, But I am ready for the challenge!!. 
04/25/07 - Today was a great day! I met my surgeon, he was a wonderful man. He took his time to explain the surgery and gave me the hope that I will be a good candiate for this surgery. I already made my appt to see the Nutrition that is for May 1. So I will be posting after that visit. 
05/01/07 - Today I had an appt with the Nutrition she was very nice and informative. She really took her time to explain how much food I will be eating adn telling me about the DO's and DON'T. she explain how important it is to start eat properly now, so when I have the surgery I will be adjusted with eating smaller portion. Now all I have to do is have my Physiatricist Appt which is on May 29. I will keep you posted. 
06/06/07 - Today I met the Psychiaist what a wonderful and kind women. She really listen to my concerns and give me alot of hope. We talk little bit about everything. She give me guidelines, I would need to follow pre/post for surgery.
I will see her again after I had the surgery. Now from this point, my surgeon will have to wait until they get all my paperwork and submitted to the Insurance and hope and pray I get approve. I'm just going to leave it up to GOD. I will keep you posted! 
06/14/07 Today I spoke to my Insurance Rep, she received all my documents. I just have to see my PCP this month and next month and weigh in with my WW and send her those documents and hopefully I should get approved. So by the end of July I should know. I will keep you posted.

08/22/07 Just getting a couple of things together and started to pack my suitcase. I want to start early not to leave anything behind. I can't even begin to explain how I feel right now. I'm excited, don't know what to except. But one thing I know is that GOD and my family, friends are ALL praying for me. I will keep you posted.
10/11/07 It been a while since I have posted anything, I just been very busy trying to get everything together for my surgery. It's only 5 days away. I am nervous and scared, but I know I will be ok. I have my family and friends supporting me. My surgery day is 10/19. I can't wait to be on the loser side. I will keep you posted 
10/27/07 Good Morning - Today was my first day that I feel very good from my surgery. I had surgery on Friday 10/19/07. So far everything is going good. I am tolerating the food good, not to soar, just moving around pretty good consider that my surgery took 6 hours. I had a really bad Hernia that need to be repaired. The surgeon told my BF and mom that I had 2 major surgeries. One the Hernia and then the bypass. Thank GOD evrything went well. I still feel a little bit bloated and very tired. Doing a lot of resting. But otherwise I really feel good. 
10/31/07 Today was my 2 wks post -op appt. My surgeon removed my staples, been having some oozing from the incision, but my surgeon said that was normal, some patient ooze some don't. But when he removed my staples part of my incision was not closed so it left an opening. But he just packed it with gauze and told me it will close on it's own. Just to clean the area 2- 3 x a day. I also have the home care nurse that comes and sees me too. 
I almost forgot to mention " I lost 22lbs already since my surgery"
So I don't have to see him until 3 months. I can also return back to work as of Dec 3. So that is going to be fun.
