WOW!! A year has passed since my revision and I am THRILLED with my weight loss! Dr Alexander has my "tool" working again!!!

Now, its time for the TT with hima s well! Got approved through insurance the first go round!! Surgery is scheduled for May 21st but waiting to see if I can get an earlier date- I hope so! I cannot wait to have an "hourglass" shape again!!!

YAY!! Im sooooo excited!! Im approved for my revision in Feb...I cannot wait to get back on the weight loss train!!!!!

Its been a loooong journey- 3 yrs out from RNY on 11-21-07 and now, I need a revision- Ive gained back soo much weight..Im about 60 pounds from where I was to begin with...Since moving to Dallas, we had our third baby, a sweet baby girl named Temari, and Ive gained this weight...Ugh..its frustrating but I take comfort in knowing that I may have an option.....
Met a great surgeon here in Dallas, Dr. John Alexander and his team a re wonderful! Just waiting to be approved by UHC- very nervous about this...I hope I am approved...fingers are crossed!!!

I had my info session with Dr. Ayloo, and it was GREAT!!! I had Dr vitello, but switched because she does the laproscopic gastric-bypass, which is what I am having, versus Dr. Vitello whao onlt does it open. I am a pretty good candidate for the laproscopic procedure because I had my gallbladder removed, and she may just re-open those same for incisions!!  AND I found out, after I have my surgery, they will do a tummy tuck forme , if I have that excess skin, which I know I will!! I am SO READY to make this lifestyle change, it is killing me. I cant wait!!!!

Ok, so I am going in for my consult, tommorrow, july 2 @ 5pm, and I am NERVOUS!!!!! Its only the initial meeting about the procedure, but I am still awreck right now. I'm hoping all goes well, and I can get scheduled within the next 4-6 weeks. I am READY to be a LOSER!!!!
