 Hello my name is Mary Dill. I am 24 years old and have been over weight all my life. I have been fighting this battle for a very long time and i am very determined to have surgery. I am scared that one day I am not going to be here to see my son Austin who is seven years old grow up. It makes me sick because i can't go outside and play with him and go to carnivals and ride the rides that he wants to get on because i am to tired or to big for the rides. I know it doesn't matter to him but it does to me and it hurts. I have a wonderful husband that supports me greatly. He is a big part of my life also as my son is and because of me being over weight i can't get pregnant. He doesn't have any children and we have tried for three years now and nothing. Doctors have now dignosed me with hypertention and polly cystic ovarion syndrome and acid reflux. I have abnormal periods and hurt all the time. I just don't know what else to do. I have a really good friend who i met on here. Her name is Shelley and she helped me find a surgeon who still accepts my insurance. She has become a really good and amazing friend. She hasn't had her surgery yet and we both are taking this journey together. So glad i have found this place. Well i guess i am going to get off her and i will update soon

3/15/05 Well i am back and i have to say that i called dotor Isbell's office and the nurse there told me that I would have to go to my family doctor for six months. My doctor has to put me on a diet and weigh me every month and document it all. She said that after my doctor does that then he can send all the documents to their office and a referral and they would make an appointment for a consultation. I am so sad because i have seen my doctor and when i went to him i was one pound from being 400lbs. He put me on the diabetic diet. Well i am going to do what i am suppose to and lose the weight and prove i can change my life for good. Well everybody pray for me and hope i have accomplished so weight loss in a month.

4/17/05 Woohoo!!!! I went to the doctor today and i have lost 25 pounds. I am soooooooo happy. Eating a lot of chicken and cabbage and loving diet caffine free drinks. I have to say it was like the weight fell off because i didn't notice it gone. I was really upset when i went to the doctor because i just knew i hadn't lost anything. And God knows i have been trying. I don't want them thinking i am not trying. but i think that it was mostly fluid i lost. But 25lbs is 25lbs. Well everybody just pray and hope i have lost another 25 or more by the next time i go back.

5/13/05 Not a good day to day. I had to go to the doctor because i was bleeding really bad and they had to do a pap. really nasty i think but had to be done. The good news is i have lost another 7lbs. and the bad  news is that he put me on a hormone pill to stop the bleeding and a iron pill because my blood was low. He wants to see me back in a week. Everybody please keep me in their prayers.

You are also a romantic and consider yourself an excellent matchmaker, so you tend to be a bit nosy. But everyone still considers you the sweetest person they know.

6/17/05 Well I went to the doctor today and i have lost another 8lbs. I am really happy. But the doctor did blood work and he said that my blood level is lower then it was last time but he said not to be alarmed because it's probably the diet i am on and he just said to still take the iron medicine he prescribed me. So more med's. i wonder what's next. Well at least one thing is good and that is i am down 40lbs. i was really scared of the 400lb marker. I can't believe i had gotten to that level. I always said oh i will never be 300 and then that rolled around and i said well i am not about to go over 350 and well i was wrong. And i promised myself i would not get to 400. And what do you know i actually kept that promise. But one pound from it. Gosh i was scared. But i am thanking the good lord up above for the help and my mother. Without them i don't know where i would have finally decided to get help. Well i am out of here for now.

6/22/05 Well I went to the doctor today and doc put me on a 1700 calorie diet and upped my activity level. Man i can have just about whatever i want but less of it. That's great. I heard that with the weight loss surgery if doctor's would take out people's gallbladder that they wouldn't have hardly any complications. The lady who told me that was a nurse and she said that i was doing the right thing by haveing surgery and she thinks i am going to do just fine. I am scared to death to have this surgery but i am also scared that if i don't have it done i want live to see my seven year old son grow up. If there is anyone out there that reads this and you have had your weight loss surgery please i need some guidence on this because i am scared out of my mind. I know all about everything i am suppose to do but i just need a little guidence. I know a bunch of people that has had the surgery and their doing great as can be. They all look really good and healthy. My aunt amazes me on how well she is doing. I am proud of her. Well I guess i need to get off here and i'll be back soon.

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Anyways I have had alot going on this month. First so no one get's confused. My husband works offshore on a vessel in the Gulf Of Mexico. He is an engineer out there. Anyways this time he was at work he started having chest pains and had to be sent to a hospital in Texas. I was so upset because I couldn't be there with him. Well anyways they sent him home and said he would have to see a cardio doctor here for a full work up. He is 32 and you think we shouldn't be going through things like this now. But his parents both passed away from heart attacks when they was 42. But he has went to the doctors and they said he didn't have a heart attack and that since both his parents were so young that he wanted to do a stress test on him. We go next week and have that done. I am so worried they will find something. Everybody just keep us in your prayers and i will let everyone know what the doctor says. Well I mentioned earlier about a lady i met on this website and become real good friends with. Well she had her wls almost two weeks ago and she is doing really well. She had no complications with her wls at all. I am so happy for her. Anyways as for me i have two more doctor's appointments and then maybe my family doctor can refer me to Dr. Isbell's office. I am hoping they still take my insurance by then. I here he is a good doctor and that he has good bed side manners. I won't know until i get to meet him. Well I really don't know what else to say but keep us in your prayers and I will do the same and talk to every one later when i update.
God Bless Everyone and My Prayers is With You!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone!! I am very sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been very emotional here lately. First to start off with things I have been having a very hard time deciding wether or not to have the surgery done. Also me and my husband have been trying to conceive for about three years now and I thought this month being that I am about 20 days late that just maybe I could be pregnant and get to have a child before the surgery. Well so far I have took two home pregnancy tests and both are negative and I just don't know what to do. I don't know if I have lost anymore weight because I don't have a scale and my doctor is out the whole month of August. I will go back to him sometime in September. Anyways I am scared and really need someone to help me on this. I don't won't to die. I want to live a long and healthy life with my son and my husband, but there is a problem. To be healthy I need to lose weight and I am trying so very hard on my own and I know that there will be a point when I have gone so far with losing the weight my self and then it is going to stop. It always does. I can lose a little weight and then something just puts a stop on it.  I guess that is why I need to have the surgery. I just want to live and i don't won't to die. I am having a very hard time with this. I just worry that even if I do come out okay and everything that in ten years or so I will have other complications that my moms doctor said happens in most or almost all wls patients. He said that in about ten years you start haveing problems with your liver and kidneys and a bunch of other things and I don't won't that to happen to me. Plus I know how hard it is on a person who has had the wls to carry a child and the child be healthy and the mother too. I want to try to become pregnant first. But me being overweight seems to be the factor to why I can't get pregnant. We have had all the tests done on both and I have PCOS and that is one of my problems and it's caused by obesity. Well if there is anyone out there who has had the wls and has had a baby afterwards please write to me and let me know how things went. I really need a Angel on this one. Well I need to go and I will try to update more. Well God Bless and my prayers are with everyone.

Hey everyone I am sorry I haven't wrote in a while but I have been very busy. As said before my DH was having problems with his heart and going back and forth getting tests ran and man that just wore me out. But he is doing real good and nothing is wrong with his heart. Thank God!!!! Well I have to go back to Dr.Chowdry's office and weigh in for my 5th check up September 23rd and then after that I have one more visit and he will refer me to Dr. Steven Isbell in Fort Payne Al. I am hoping that I can get a appointment in October and maybe get this ball on the roll and become a looser. I have been really scared and I have thought about backing out many times but I have came to realize that if I don't do something while I can then maybe one day I will never get the chance again and then die from the health problems that are in the coming if i don't loose weight. My DH is scared too. He hasn't heard but bad about the weight loss surgery and I am talking to him about going to classes because when I think I know everything and i try to explaine to him it just doesn't work. So he needs to hear it from someone else. But I have faith in me and I have faith in God and I know that he will see me through this and I just feel like I will do fine. Hope is what i have to have and what my DH has to have. Anyways I just love this site. And I love the people that helps out here. I have met one good friend so far and I plan to meet many more. But I guess I am going to quit for now and I will try to update more.
God Bless All and Keep Me In Your Prayers!!!!!!! :-)

Angel's

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all
He offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
He won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
He breathes flesh to my bones
And when the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all
He offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
He won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

I'm loving angels... instead..., ohhh oh yeah

And through it all
He offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
He won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.


An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand behind you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue..

Thanks for being my Angel my friend
I will be there for you until the end.

Hello again, I just wanted to update and let you know the progress with me. I am kinda sad about the whole thing. Today I called Dr. Isbell's office to find out the information I needed to give to my PCP tomorrow so he can referr me to them and she told me and then I asked her about the consistent 6 month diet and weighing that if my doctor was out a month could he still refer me and she said no that i would have to see him every moth for 6 months and i couldn't have no breaks in between. Well my doctor was out all last month and i wasn't told I could come in and weigh with out him there. So now I have to start all over again. I will have this weight loss surgery one way or the other and if it takes me going every month even if i have a appointment or not i am going. I can't deal with this, starting over crap. But i will this time and not no more after this. Well I go to the doctor tomorrow and it will be the first time for the six months and i will update if i have lost anymore. I kinda feel like i haven't and I have hit a plataue. I don't know but if I could lose it on my own i would and not have wls. But that is what they request you to do. Well I will update tomorrow when I find out if i lost anymore weight. Love Mary

Well I am so sorry I haven't updated any sooner then this. I guess there isn't really any excuse for it, since I am always looking at the site every day. Well I went to the doctor today and I weighed and was not happy at all. I now weigh 364 and my doctor said something to me about if I was eating right and exercising. I told him of cousre I am but i don't know why I am gaining. So that made me very unhappy. I try so hard to eat right and exercise and it seems the harder i try the less I lose. So what's a girl gotta do, starve herself to death and never eat. My husband always says, Babe you know you won't lose any weight that way. He says you have to feed the body for it to burn anything off. I mean i already know that but that's what he always says. He trys to boost me up and give me a good feeling so I won't get so depressed. Well I have not one clue what to talk about on here, so I guess i am done for now. Talk to you later

Hello again!!!!! Just wanted to stop on in and let you know how my progress is. I went to the doctor again today for my second month of the six I have to do with my PCP. Anyways really not a good thing today. I actually started crying to my PCP. I found out that I have put on another ten pounds. Yep that's right!!! I was in tears. I have worked so hard to eat right and exercise and do everything possible to loose weight before I go and see the wls doctor. I know most people say well you don't have to loose any to have the surgery, But the way I think of that is, if I can loose a little weight before surgery the better off I will be.. But the other thing is he put me on Blood Presure med's because it was high. It has been high everytime i go see him. And not only that my body had some fluid making me swell and I guess that might be the cause of the weight gain. I don't know but I go back in two weeks to see how th BP med's are doing and to see how my blood work came back. He didn't say what the blood work was for and I forgot to ask so i guess i will find out soonr or later. I am so happy even tho i hadn't lost any more weight. I have 4 months to go and I will get referred to the wls doctor. I can't hardly wait. I guess having to start over isn't all that bad after all. But I will make it through. I have faith in god and I know he is going to walk me through this. Well I have to get off this thing and go to bed. I will update when I find out the results on my blood work and see how these new med's are going to effect me. Well talk to you later.

Hello again!! Just wanted to drop in and let all know how I have been. Well it's not time to go back to the doctor to see how the BP med's are doing, But so far I feel all right. I know I keep having fluid build up. I can't seem to shake it off. I guess the doctor might have to up my mgs. It really sucks. But I will make it through this long rode I am on.  I am just going to keep it in God's hands and let him walk with me. I haven't went to a support group meeting yet. I am kinda shy and I get really nervous around people and then I talk way to much. I know I need my tail torn up for not going. I also have talked to alot of good people on the boards who go and they are really nice. I can't wait to meet them, it's just I am a shy shy shy person. I hope I can get over that really soon. I guess when my DH comes home and there is one that comes up soon I will go. If not him I will get a friend of mine to go with me. Her name is Krystal. She is also obese and is looking into having the wls. We grew up together and went to school together. Me and her both can not remember one time when we were even at a goal weight. We both have battled with weight our entire lives. But the main thing I worry about with her is she don't have insurance and I know that she will soon but I still worry about her. She is not only my friend she is my sister -in-law too. Funny how my best friend married my brother. It's funny cause he didn't like her and she didn't like him when we were kids. He use to pick on her and when she would call the house he would tell her to stop calling and hang up. LOL but we laugh about these things today. I also married a man who became my friend and then we grew closer together and fell in love. I was just so darn hard headed at first and didn't see how hard he was trying to get me. Sometimes we can be just so blind. But he's got me now and you know he is scared to death of loosing me. He wants me to have the surgery and lose weight to be healthy but he is very scared something might go wrong. I am too. But I tell him we need to pray that nothing happens to me but me becoming a looser and pray that god works through my surgeons hands. I know he will. But I really don't have much to talk about. I just thought I would get on this thing and posts for a change since I only have been posting but once a month. I know I need to change those habbits. I will !! I just need to think of what to say. I sometimes have problems with letting things out and sharing them with other people. But I promise I will try and posts more often. Talk to yall soon.
God Bless All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But we did stay up and wach movies all night. I got to talk to my hubby on the phone 4 minutes before 12 and we kissed over the phone and told one another we loved each other. I can be happy with that. Now my birthday is in a few days and man I really am not looking forward for it to come. I will be a big 25. My hubby said well your half way to 50 and I said hey i don't want to be that far yet. I said I haven't made it to 30 so don't talk anything about 50. He laughed. I love to live but I don't want to get old. Old age just is to hard. But anyways I am going to get off this thing for now. Talk to you later.

Happy Birthday To Me !!!!!!!!!!!  Happy Birthday To Me !!!!!!!!!!!!!

1/04/2006

Well today is my birthday. I am a big 25. I had a good party just me my son and brother and his wife and my dog Cato. My brother made me a cake and we had ice cream and he cooked dinner. It was really sweet of him. I got a Crystal that has a unicorn in it with my astro sign and the date. I also got a crystal sail boat and a wall piece that holds three candle and I got some bath and body stuff. So I have had a good birthday so far. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Talk to yall later.

 

1/30/06

Well today has been a very exciting day. My brother and his fiance of 6 years called me up and said they were going down town to get married. Krystal my now new sister-in law said you have to come and do my hair and make up and I will tell you this much. I cried the whole time. Krystal is my best friend of 11 years. We went to school together and basicly lived with each other when we wasn't in school. You know she stayed at my house and I at hers. I never thought her and my brother wood hook up. He used to call her ugly and she used to say he was short and fat. Weird i know. But when they turned 16 something happened. They both fell in love. So they got married today and it was so beautiful. Even tho it was a court house wedding. But after that we went to her moms for the reception. I don't think her mom told her she was going to do that for her. But they were surprised. Her mom bought chapaign and cake and ice cream and other stuff. I am so happy for them. I never thought they would ever get married. I just thought they would be one of those couples who just lived together for the rest of their lives.  I guess they fooled me. Well I have to go to the doctor tomorrow and I will update on the progress. I am sure I haven't lost any. Well that's it for now.


UPDATE 1/31/06
 I went to the doctor today and I have gained 20 pounds. I am so sad right now. I really don't know how. I have been eating less and eating right. I also bought a tred mill and I have been working out on it. This is just to much to deal with. Not only that my BP was 156/92 and that is not good. I wonder if the BP meds is working or if I need something different. I don't know. But I am going to get off here for now.

Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!! Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!

Well not so happy for me. My DH has to go back to work tonight. He will be gone for another 28 days. I hate that. But I did get a stuffed bear with a tag that said I love you and I got some roses and some candy. I love that man so much. Anyways I have not got much to tell. I have been watching my calories and walking on my tremill. When DH comes home from work we are going to turn one of our rooms into a gym. I am going to take the bed and my hubby's work stuff out of there and do something with it. We don't use that bedroom for anything. WE never have anybody stay the night with us so we are going to have ourselves a work out room. I am going to buy a home gym and put my tredmill in there and I guess some other stuff that we might need. I can't wait. I am already thinking about not waiting. But I guess I will. Leave all the hard work of putting it together for hubby. But I guess that's it for now.

Wow!!! It has been almost a month since I have updated. I know, I know, I need my butt whipped. Oh well I just have been so busy that I just have enough time to lurk around the boards and maybe posts evey once in a while. But I do come here everyday and read and pray for the one's he needs prayer even tho I may not post it but I do see it and pray.

Well let's see where to begin. Since it has been a lot going on I guess I will start with I went to the doctor the other day and I weighed in and it said I was 373. I had dropped 11 pounds in 1 month. But I do think that could have been water weight. Anyhow weight is weight no matter how it came about. I have started a 1700 calorie diet. I really enjoy it. Before I don't think I even ate that much. Now I am eating all the time and more healthier. So with all that said I had to go back to the doctor a week later because I fell and hurt my hand and pinky finger and middle finger and scaped my knee up really good and twisted my ankle. It was not a very pretty sight. I was about a mile from home when I did it. I was walking to get my dog and when I caught up with him and finally got him on his leash we started walking back and down I go. Yeah it really hurt trying to pick myself up out of those gravels and trying to walk home. I cryed all the way too. It husrt so bad. But the good news is that nothing was broken and I was fine once the doctor gave me a little medicine for the pain. I don't do pain pills to good or any pill for that matter. I always choke on them so it's hard for me to get up enogh nerve to take them. But I was in some pain so I just did the best I could and swallowed that big horse pill. But I am much better now. Well my hubby is home again for another month and we have been really busy. I wanted a bigger deck out back and I wanted a bigger back yard and a swimming pool put up and me and DH went and got everything we needed to do that and we spent all day Friday cleaning the yard and pulling up the fence and cutting the grass to extend the back yard out a into the field. ( We have a big field behind us) So I had to cut the filed where the fence was going back to and boy it was a job. Not only that I had a flower box next to the porch and since it didn't have and flowers in it yet I pulled up the landscape timbers and shovled all the soil up and moved it. I tell you what I was so sore that night and died when I hit the pillows. But it had to be done. Then Saturday we finished putting the fence back up and boy that was a job. And we got distracted when my dad came down cause we went out to lunch and from there we went to home depot and I bought me some stuff to start planting my flowers and tomatoes. And then we went to big lots and I bought me some tiki light's to put up around the deck and the pool when it get's finished and then we went home and it was to late to do anything else. Then Sunday it rained and we went out side thought we could try and work in the sprinkleing rain and my Dh was digging a hole in the ground and hit a water pipe and the pipe wasn't our's it was the next door neighbors and man it was terriable. But they were very understanding. The good news is they went out of town right after and we got to fix it today with enterrupting thier life for the day. Doesn't things tend to work out right after all. Anyhow we werehoping that we would be finished byt the weekend and then the rain came and we thought wrong. So maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Oh I forgot to tell that I am changing doctors and the new doctor is Rex sherer at Brookwod Medical Center in Birmingham. I found out that his practice is doing Lap Band surgery now and I called and spoke to the lady that is his assisstant in sugery and she put me down for a appointment. She also told me to go to my PCP and have them weigh me one more time and then have them send me to do a sleep study and get all my paperwork together and send it in and I will be ready to see the surgeon. I hope that I will have all my ducks in a row soon and be having surgery this year. Just keep your fingers craossed and hope so. Well I guess I need to be jumping off here. I am going to watch a movie with my DH . Talk to everyone soon. God Bless !!!!!!! :-)

Wow!!!!!! Time sure does fly by fast. I haven't updated my profile in months. I know I need to get with it. Well I don't know where to start. My hubby Tracy started having pains in his side the night of my last update. I had to carry him to the hospital and they ran tests after tests and found that his gallbladder was packed full of stones. They said that thier wasn't any blockage but they thought that he needed to see a gastrointestnial doctor to see about having it removed. So we went to Dr. Fougout in Tuscaloosa and it was one week before Tracy had to go back to work and he also had to do some training before that and the doctor just scheduled him for when he came back home from work. Well Tracy left when it was his time to go back and one week after he got out there he started having servere pains and they had to get him home. We then went to see his doctor and they scheduled him for another ultasound and found that he had 2 stones in his bi duct. So they did surgery on him the next day and he has been home with me for 1month and 3 weeks. He was home for the time he was suppose to be working and for his off time when he was suppose to come home. Anyways in that time I had to go see the Sleep Doctor and they scheduled me for a sleep study and I went for that and I do have sleep apnea. I have to go back for another sleep tests to find out my air levels needed for when I sleep. I kinda knew that I would have it. My father and one of my sisters has it. So I knew I did too. Well while all that was going on I bought a new car. It is a 2005 Pontiac Grand Am. It is maroon and I am so proud of it. I know alot has went on and I know that shouldn't be a excuse for me but I just haven't had the time to talk with anyone. I haven't even posted on the boards in a while. But I am going to slow down because I have everything I need done so far. I even got Spring Cleaning done. So I am happy. I am looking forward to having my surgery. I don't know which one I will be having yet. I really need some advice from others. I am opting between RNY and LapBand. If thier is anyone who can help with some advice I would be greatfull. Well I don't know how much I weigh because I haven't weighed in sometime now. I have started eating back bad again. I can't stay away from my sodas and meat. I love steak and we have it all the time. I don't like eating chicken to much. So what's a girl to do. I guess I will be eating up turkey. Well I guess this is all for now. I hope to get better at updating my profile. Just be patient with me and I always get up the important things. Well talk to you all soon.

I would really be happy with that weight. Anyways I hope you enjoy the pitures. I have more but it takes alot to get them up and running. Well I need to get off here and go to bed. I will update more later.

06/13/06
Well today I went with my mother to her doctor and she spoke to her about the WLS and she agreed with my mother that the sugery could help her alot. My mother like me has been over weight her entire life and she has been so scared to even think about making a decision like this to have surgery. But her health is not getting any better. My mother is 43 years old and she has knees of a 90 year old and she has so many comorbids and her weight keeps moving up every day. Her doctor gives her shots in her knees and those shots make her gain weight. So today my mother got a referral to see Dr. Rex Sherer and I filled all the papers out online for her and along with mine I sent them off. We spoke to Sheryll today and she said that she wanted us to go to a siminar and get our papers mailed off so we can get a consult with the doctor. I can't wait I mailed them baby's off tonight. I think the next siminar is July 11 and we are going to that one. Sheryll said she would mail us out some appointments so we can call when we get the date of the siminar. I am still waiting to go back to the sleep doctor to get fitted for the c-pap machine. I know I need it so maybe I can get some good night's sleep. I so need it. I can sleep 10 and 12 hours a  day and still feel sleepy. I know it is my sleep apnea that is causeing it. Oh I also forgot that I go back to my OBYGN on the 27 of this month. I am going to find out more on what's going on with my body down below. I have PCOS and my life has been miserable. I am going to see about them putting me on birth controll so that I want get pregnant now or when I have surgery, not until I have gotten to a good healthy weight to be that way. I would love to get pregnant because me and Hubby have tried for many years and nothing and all I hear from doctors is lose weight and it will happen. Well that's what I am going to do. Boy I am sure in the mood for talking tonight. I need to get on here more often and let everything out here. But I get so caught up in everything else that I forget to come here and write. Well I guess this is all for now and I will update later.


6/20/06

Well just wanted to update on my progress. I am happy to tell that I got a phone call today and me and my mother have a appointment with the surgeon for a consult Monday June 26 2006 at 10:45 and 11:00, I am so excited that it is going fairly fast. I asked if my insurance would cover the first visit and he said yes and I was so releived because I don't have $250.00 to pay upfront. Anyways I found out that I will be seeing Dr. Vince Gardner. I am just thrilled. I know he is a good doctor. Anyways after I go see him Monday I will go Tuesday to the OBYGN and see what is wrong with my woman parts and then I go back to my PCP Wednesday and get a prescription for my C-pap machine. The nurse there told me I needed it big time because I have severe obstructed sleep apnea and that I needed my machine. Well I don't know if my insurance will pay for it or not and I am going to have to wait and see. But I didn't think things could go so quick. Just maybe once I see the doctor Monday and get in my paper work Wednesday so he can send off to my insurance, just maybe they will approve me fast. Well anyways I hope so. I would like to have surgery next month if all is possible. But I guess this enough for now I need to go get some things done. I will update after my visit with the doctor.

6/26/06
Well I just wanted to come and update about my visit with Dr. Gardner today. I had to be there at 10:45 this morning but I think I got there a hour early. I am glad I did because I had to call my PCP to get a referral. I thought I had already taken care of that but I guess I didn't. Anyways I liked the doctor. He came in and introduced himself and went over every aspect of the surgery and the risks involved and I had went in with the ideal that I was having the lapband surgery but when he told me the pro's and con's about both I decided that I was going to have the R-N-Y. But everything went great and my mother was in the same room with me and she talked to him also and so all there is now left to do is for me to get all my paper work from my pcp on my 6 months weight loss and get it up there to Miles and then he can send in my papers to the insurance company. Boy I cant wait till I get them up there. Well I need to go for now I will update later.

7/05/2006
Well I have got some good news today. I talked to Miles at Dr. Gardner's office today. He told me that he has all my paper work and that he is sending it into my insurance and he said I have everything that they require and that my information is nice and strong and he told me to give them about 7 to 10 business days for a response. He also told me he sent in my mothers papers too and to call back next friday to find out if we are approved. He told me that he and Dr. Gardner had spoke and Dr. Gardner wanted to know if me and my mother wanted to have surgery the same day and I said yes. He said that they would do it. I also asked him how long was the wait for surgery after I get approved and he said that they could schedule right away that there was not a wait. So looks like if we get our response that we want then we will be having surgery this month. Man I am so excited but I am also scared too. I don't know how I am going to react to a new me. I mean I have never been skinny and when the last time I thought I was a good weight is when I had my son Austin and I weighed 240 and that was not even close to being a healthy weight. I have never been my idea weight. I really don't know how I am going to react. I really don't. Also my DH is going to come home every other month and see a different me everytime. That is going to be awsome for me. I can't say that I am only having surgery to be healthy because I am not. All of me wants to be healthy but I also want to go into a store and find something cute and wear it without feeling yucky in it. I want to wear a dress and not look like a big beach whale in it. I want to wear shorts that come above my knee for a change and feel sexy. Am I wrong for wanting those things too? I don't know but if I can get to where I can breath and walk up and down stairs without feeling out of breath then  that will make my day. I will love when I am able to cross my legs for the first time and I will I know I will. It has took me so long to even get here and I feel great about it. In my heart I know I am going to be fine. I know the Lord above is going to take care of me and my mother. Oh I decided and my mother decided to have our sugery at Shelby Baptist and then I will get to see Beth George. I can't wait to meet some of my OH friends. I really can't wait to see Elle. But I guess now is the time to ask for a Angel. How do I do that. I have one Angel for a while now and her name is Shelley. I hope she will be there. Well I guess when I find out if I am approved I will update.


7/09/2006
Well what a day I had yesterday. Me and DH and our son Austin and my baby siter Jessica met my uncle and aunt and thier 2 children at Alabama Adventure. We got there at 10:00 am and didn't leave till 10:00 pm. We had a blast. Austin and DH and my uncle went down that 90 foot slide that drops off like jumping off the side of a building and was coming down that thing so fast I could guess maybe a 150 miles an hour.Maybe not that fast be it was fast. Me I wasn't about to get on that thing. It was too tall for me. I couldn't believe Austin got on there and went down it. I was so proud of him because he is usally scared to death of stuff like that. Time just slips away from you when your having fun. Me and my aunt which is not much older then me had planned to feed the kids about 2:00 pm but eveybody was haveing to much fun and it was 4:00 pm before we got them all rounded up to eat. Then after eating we were off to the lazy river and that was just to boring for DH and uncle so they took off to the roller coasters and had a good time. Not me. Well before we knew it, it was time to get some dry clothes on and go over to the other park and ride the dry rides. The first thing I got on was the pirate ship and that was the last too. I got so sick I had to tell my DH that we had to go. But since my aunt had the keys, my uncle had to go find her and by the time he got them it was time to go anyways, I have very bad motion sickness and I wish there is something I could do about it. Because when I have surgery and lose weight  and get down small enough to fit in all of the rides then that's what I want to do without getting sick and leaving. And speaking of surgery I got a call from Miles at Dr Gardner's office Friday. he said he didn't get mine and my mothers papers sent off until that day and said we should know something by July 24th and if all goes well he wanted to know how soon we wanted to have surgery and I told him ASAP. He said well I could schedule you for July 28th if all is good on the approvel. I told him that that was not a good date for me personaly because DH was leaving going back to work that following Monday and he wouldn't be home to take care of me and Austin. He asked if my mother would want it that day and I said yes. So then he asked me when Dh was going to be back home and I told him Ausgust 30th and He said that Dr Gardner only did surgeries on Friday and we could do it September 1st. I said that was fine because I wanted DH home to take care of me and Austin and if something happened he could be home and not out so far away. So it is a little bit of a set back for me and also me and my mother want be having it the same day like we wanted and there is no sense for her having to wait because of me. So she will be first and I can help her out and try to get a feeling of how it is going to be. But I just wanted to add that in. I also want to add that Beth Merchant is going to be one of mine and my mothers Angel. The other one is Alabama Shelley. I do hope she still is. But if not I understand. I am happy that both care enough for me and my mother to be our Angels
Well a big Thank You to both and that is all for now.

Well I just wanted to get on here and say that I am still waiting for my aprroval. I called Dr. Gardner's office today and Miles the coordernator said that he tried to call the insurance company but all he got was a answering machine. He told me that he would try later on and to call him after three and I did and I talked to a lady and Miles must have told her to tell me that he didn't get in touch with them and that we would most likely be pushing the date up. So I do hope that me and my mother get approved and maybe we can have our surgeries Sep 1st. Anyways I am a little depressed by it all because I wanted to have surgery July 28th. But I guess it works out the way God see's it to. I guess he know's that I really want DH to be home helping me. I don't know but I pray we are approved.
