2014 - The year of the Revision!

Dec 30, 2013

I'm back!!

Almost 12 years after my original Gastric Bypass, I am in need of revision/correction surgery. Starting on Jan. 1, 2014, I will begin my official diet plan with 6 months of monitoring from my Dietitian. It is required from my health insurance, BCBS, and if I complete their criteria, hopefully they will approve my surgery!!

I weighed at my heaviest 374 lbs. back in 2001. Within 6 months of my original surgery, I lost 70 lbs., but then everything has come to a screeching halt! I never got below 300 lbs. but never gains any more significant weight back since. I have been in limbo between 310-330 lbs. for the last 11 years.

I had seen 3 doctors who ran all kinds of tests and scopes and all determined that the original surgery was not done correctly, my pouch wasn't made small enough and my intestines were not rerouted short enough. It was Dr. White who has been my salvation and prompted me to start my career so I could get better paying health insurance.

Well, life, you know it happens....  and here we are today, almost 12 years later. Dr. White says he will do the surgery and all I have to do is fulfill the requirements from my health insurance!

It's time to get back to the right path on my journey to become thinner and healthier! 2014 will be the year I become the butterfly!!
