6month Update
Jun 02, 2009
americans! Luckily....It paid off! I finally got a job. I was without work for about
6 months....OUCH! I am thankful for my unemployment, but it just wasn't cutting the mustard.
So, I have lost about 87lbs or 95lbs all together. In 6 months...that is awesome. I think I
could probably be losing more weight if I made some smarter eating choices, but I have to
have some things. Not all the time, but once in a while. I consider myself one of the lucky or
unlucky ones that can actually eat some sugars and other bad things. I had my blood work
done and my levels are all normal and looking good! I couldn't ask for more. I hope all is
well with everyone and I will be posting some updated pictures soon! Take Care Everyone!
3 month update
Mar 05, 2009
about 56lbs in 3 months and I feel alot better. All together I have lost 68lbs. I still haven't
got a good exercise routine established yet. I am planning on starting out easy...like maybe
tennis. That sounds like fun. My pain levels have reduced a lot too. I can only hope and pray
that the weight continues to come off.

One month post-op
Dec 27, 2008
Can I get a whoop-whoop !! I wasn't sure if I was going to make to
30 but I did. I cannot wait to see what the future months bring.
My clothes are fitting me better , and some are fitting me a little
to baggy. I am going to try and put off buying clothes for a while.
I am kind of broke after christmas . SOOOO, I'm happy with my 1st
months results and I am finally getting a hold of eating at the right
pace! I'll update when I have more good news!

11 days post op today
Dec 09, 2008
My Mom told me that the doctor found a hole in my colon and that there was a section bunched up like a sleeve. Kind of like my colon was trying to fix itself. He fixed all that and completed the revision. I woke up in excrushiating pain I was in the hospital for 4 days and while there had to have another catheter placed by someone with little experience, WTF!
I made it home and medicated myself!
Basically slept and sipped some walking (like a elderly person) yep, I needed help. I came back to work on the 8th of Dec.
and wished I could have taken more time off, but oh well. My boss is awesome though and dosen't let me do to much and lets me take more breaks. It helps when your boss is your BFF!
I have my follow up today. I'll have my staples removed and
hopefully will be given a little more freedom with what I can eat!
Life is good!
My journey has begun!

Pre-Op Appointment 11/14/08

10/8/08 My Consult appointment details...
Oct 13, 2008
I was so nervous that my appointment was going to be a waste of time. I kept it in the back of my head, and keep the positive thoughts in the front. I got to the office with my heart beating out of my chest ! When I finally met Dr. Zane I was ready to come out of my skin. He was very plesant, and more than happy to listen to my issues with the band, and weight problems in general . He asked what I would like to have done in place of the band, and I told him RNY. He discussed some other things with me and told me he would be able to perform my revision surgery !! I was so EXCITED . I think I was in shock ! He then pulled out this folder and said he was all booked for October, but November had openings. SO, I picked November 28th, 2008 ! I have my per-op visit Nov. 13, 2008. I'll keep everyone posted as my journey continues!
Appointment for Consult
Sep 13, 2008
It was Dr. Zane's office calling to schedule a consult
I am trying to remain positive , but there is still that little voice in the back of my mind that makes me want to think the worst . I have done alot of reading on Dr. Zane. Everyone just has positive feed back, this is a major BONUS ! I have my consult on 10/8/08. I will post and let everyone know how it goes!
Oh yeah, one more thing. I was in the hospital from 9/22/08 thru 9/25/08. I went to the emergency room in pain and they did an unltrsound on me and found that I have gallstones so they kept me and removed my gallbladder two days later
so that is one less thing to worry about. I'll update again after my consult!
