Ya! Ya!,Thank you GOD.........
Nov 29, 1999
It was a Tuesday evening when me and my husband had went to the movies to see "Dreamgirls", when I had got a call on my cellphone during the show,I decided not to answer it, because I was watching the "Dreamgirls"(for my second time now)I love this movie,and that phone call could wait.So I checked my messages after the movie was over,so walking to the car with the cellphone to my ear,and I just started screaming,
screaming,screaming.My husband said "what","what is the matter", I started crying. I said," that was Pacific Bariatric Surgical Medical Group office",and I just got approved for my WLS, and my husband I started smiling and we hugged each other. It was a unforgetable moment. That date was January 9th 2007.
Then seven days after that(which was January 16th,2007),and I had my three appointments with the Internist,Psychiatric and then the Surgeon.WOW, was that a fun day.then it was the waiting,waiting,and the waiting time for my surgery date.
That took about 3 weeks, and then I had got my prep-op date(which it was Feb.16th,2007)and also received my surgery date. Ya!, on Feb.20th,2007. I was so very nervous and excited to, and every emotions was just running through me. In my options class by Kaiser my starting weight was 315.9lbs. By the end of our last weight-in class from otpions, I had lost 25.9lbs,putting my weight at 290lbs.
Pre-op weight was: 299.5lbs.,from Dr. Zorn's office( Feb.16th,2007).
During my stay at the hospital everything was great.The day of my surgery I was very calm,and I don't know,but I just had a certain kind of peace around me.I felt really good. When I woke up from recovery in the Recovery Rm, I was saying to the nurses, "That I feel good", "I feel good".And they were saying " ok,Lisa you feel good."( It's funny to laugh at it now )Ha! Ha! Ha!.......
Post-op surgery: In just one week after sugery(for my one week appt.) my weight is now 285.5lbs,"(BIG LOSER)" ,losing 14lbs,"WOW", I can't believe it!
Now, this is my second week feeling alittle tired,need my rest, but I have lost 4lbs. that's good,no that's GREAT.So that brings my weight to 281lbs. I weight myself now every 2-3 weeks,because I was weighting myself every other day.
March 28,2007: It's been awhile since I have logged on,alot has been going on in my wonderful great life. Well, the last time I weighted myself was two weeks ago and that was at, "drum roll" 277.6lbs I'm really losing. Food is getting alittle boring,but I am sticking with it. Next week will be my 6th week,that means that I will be introduced to cereal. In two weeks I go for my 1 month appointment. Well, I will log in soon with more weight lose news.
Lisa's Dream: My Story.............
Well, where do I start,ok I'm 4"11 1/2 and I am from the state of St.Louis,MO(born)but raised in California since I was 5 years old.All I know is California. I am 37years old and have strugged with my weight since my early teenage years(about when I was thirteen yrs. old)I was called alittle chubby,with the pretty smile and beautiful hair. (You & all know that statement). I am the oldest of two brothers.My mother made big meals just about every night. But, she was not happy with my weight,so need to say that I was verbally abuse because of my weight all the time,my mother did have some weight issues of her own in her early teen years too,but not like mine.So, enough about that because it is just to deep to think & talk about. I'm going forward with life. I am married to a great and supportive husband, that loves me so much, and looks pass my weight issues and loves me for who I am.We have been married for 11years(just celebrated our anniversary the day after my WLS surgery in the hospital). We have been together as a couple for 17years.(friends for 3yrs. before being a couple,met playing racquet ball in college.When I met him I was at my lowest weight of a 150lbs to 170lbs. My highest weight ever was 325lbs,boy was my body hurting at my size frame at 4"11 1/2.I tried to always be active in some kind of sport as I got older,like bike riding, tennis,aerobic exercise,walking,skating.So, got married to a great guy who is also a wonderful cook(chef)great but bad for me,but now good because he cooks healthy too.We have no children of pets, we want children really,really bad,I have had two miscarriages,that was very very hard on the both of us.We pray every day for our miracle baby to come.I now in my heart that one day I am going to be a mother & my husband is going to be a father too.
