Ok so it's been a while since I last posted... I have been dealing with alot of family issues but I have now decided to make time for what is also very important to me, and that is my surgery. I have all together lost 86 lbs and am totally thrilled. Although it is kind of bittersweet at times to think that everyone else gives me compliments and tells me how great I look, except my husband. He only tells me when I ask or when other ppl call him out on it. Anyway, I am really excited and I am about to post new pix... Thanks all...


P.S. Is it normal that I start feeling hungry more often and that I am able to eat more than 3 oz at a time?

Hey all, it's been a while since I last updated. It's been a long, hard road for me and my family. Not only because of my weight problem but also emotionally, and physically. Tommorrow I finally have my interview with NuWeigh clinic and hope to get it all straightened out. My insurance does not exclude it so that is a huge plus. Will update tommorrow after my appt.


Mad, Hurt,... Depressed... :(

Ok so yesterday I was at my mother in law's house and we get along great. She was asking me about my surgery and what the insurance had told me and she then proceeded to tell me that I had put myself in this position. I could not believe what she told me, I was hurt yet at the same time infuriated. She then told me that her sister had been loosing alot of weight and that she looked really good. She told me that it was my choice and that I needed to stop eating out and all this other stuff. I agreed with her, but she said that I should be afraid and that I am gonna leave my child without a mother and there is no one to blame but me. I did not say anything because I was raised to be respectful and after all she is the mother of my husband and she has always done alot for us. When we left I told my husband and he was upset. He knows what kind of stress I am under and how much I want this WLS done. I told him that how dare she pretend she knows what it is like to not know if you are gonna wake up the next morning or that you might not see your son grow into a young man. It is easier said than done, and I have tried everything that is in my power. It is not easy and I guess everyone here knows, but she just does not get it. Anyway, I had to vent...

The Dreaded Call...

May 10, 2007

Well I just recieved the phone call from my doctors office, and of course what I suspeced, that benefit is not included in my plan. I am so devastared and I can't seem to stop crying. I guess I should have known and I should have expected it, but it still comes as such a blow. I spoke to my employer and he said that he will talk to the lady who deals with our insurance and see why it is not included. He thought all this was included as long as it was medically necessary. I am just at a loss. Please words of encouragement anyone?

Hey everyone... well last night I was very excited with everything that happened at the WLS seminar. I went home and I could not wait to tell my BFF Priscella about it, but to my surprise, she was not so supportive, extatic, or anything. She did ask me how it went and I started to tell her and my nephew, but all they did was play around and kept cutting me off. They were not at all interested. I was so shcked and so hurt that all I could do was cry. It really made me upset because this is something very important for me and for my family and to them it's all a joke. I guess you really can't always count on the people you think are gonna be your biggest support system. Sorry, just venting, but still very hurt and upset.


May 8, 2007 My Seminar

May 08, 2007

Ok so today I got off of work at 5pm and headed straight to my obesity seminar. It was very informative and I really enjoyed it. I met a woman by the name of Angie who weighed around the same as I, and she had surgery about 5 yrs ago. She looks so good and she is so sweet and supportive. She is in charge of the support groups for their office. I was told that by me having United Healthcare, that I had a really good chance of getting approved. I am very excited, but I am not going to get too excited. I have been let down before and it really hurts. I am going to continue to fight as long as they are willing to listen. I was also told that I should be recieving a phone call from them by no later than Thursday morning or sometime in the afternoon. They will then determine what my nsurance requires so that I can start getting everything together. They were very excited to know that I took them about 3 1/2 - 4 yrs of medical record already and I also made a list of all my Physician's. That is a huge plus. On top of that, I have already had my Sleep Study done to determine weather I have Sleep Apnea and it turns out that I do. Wish me luck and I will update again soon.
