I FEEL GREAT!!!!!!!!

Jan 23, 2008

 I am currently 144pds from 242 11/6/06. I am 2 pds away from 100pds, but I could care less if I never ever loose those 2 pounds because I feel absolutely great. I have lost a total of 98 pds and I currently wear a size 4 in misses and a 5 in juniors. My only regret is that I did not have the surgery much earlier. However I am truly having a ball! I have had absolutely no complications as a result of my surgery. I don't have any excess skin either. But my breast are so ugly to me. The elasticisty of my skin in that area is nil. So I have began researching Plastic surgeons in my area because I would love to have a breast lift. I have gone from a 44G to a 36D. I miss my breast terribly..lol..lol.

Night before my Rebirth

Nov 05, 2006

I suppose I should be nervous, but I'm not. Hell I have yet to pack my little bag. I am a little tired though.  I worked a split shift Saturday 5a-2p then 7p - 1230a. Only to be back @ 5am Sunday morning so I'm feeling real lazy and looking forward to some good sleep tomorrow. I've opted to not have anyone at the hospital with me tomorrow. My mother lives out of state and has asked to come several times, but I've told her not to worry. I'll be fine. She even called today and asked me to book her a flight to come this evening, but I assured her that I will be fine and will come to her in a couple of weeks. My Father will be taking me to the hospital in the morning, but he has to catch a flight to Philly tomorrow afternoon so he won't be staying with me. I did not tell my mommie that because she would have definetly been on the next flight out. I would hate for anyone to have to waste their time sitting around waiting for me to come out of surgery. I will contact them all when I am able to speak. Plus I'll be home the next day as long as all goes well which I am very much confident that it will. So I'll post again when I'm on the losers bench.

PreOp liquid diet

Oct 30, 2006

Today was the official first day of my PreOp liquid diet. Well needless to stay I did not do too well. I started off the morning with a glazed donut. Then I had soupy grits, with sausage added. Later on I also ate about 5 crackers. This was all consumed while at work. But by midafternoon when I found out for sure that my surgery was still on I did better. I had a cup of tomato soup with grated cheese add and a bottled water for dinner along with sugar free watermelon jello for dessert. I promise to do better tomorrow. 


Spoke with Sleep Center

Oct 30, 2006

I contacted Robert @ the Sleep center today to verify if my sleep results had been reviewed by a doctor so that an appt could be made for receipt of my cpap machine.
I was worried this past weekend that maybe my surgery will be delayed because I won't have the machine in the hospital with me. Well Robert told me that my results had been forwarded to Dr. Barker and since I am having my surgery at Renaissance they already know my numbers and will provide a cpap for my use while there. This is GREAT news!!!!.

Sleep Study

Oct 29, 2006

Well I finally had my sleep study w/ the Cpap machine Thursday 10/26 @ Renaissance Hospital. My Tech Anna was wonderful! The room was very pleasant and somewhat gave me an idea of what to expect from the hospital when I have my surgery. Everything was clean. I was told to arrive at the hospital by 8pm. Well what they don't tell you is that you have to be admitted through the ER which was not a pleasant atmosphere. Anyway after sat in the ER for over an hour Anna finally came to escort me upstairs to my room. I was already dressed in my pjs and she had the room very cold and comfy. I filled out a questionaire while she completed the hookup on another lady. When she returned she fitted me for a mask then took me to another room to place the probes in my head on my chest, etc. Then we went back to the room and she Initally I was a little nervous that I would  not fall asleep, but honey I was worn out by the time I got up stairs. After that was done it was lights out. She ran me through a few directives, blink your eyes 5 times, flex your foot 5 times, etc and after that I was pretty much out. I woke up a few times because I was freezing, but to tell you truth I l slept so good. I was not tired when I woke up. There was no tension in my shoulders. I really felt good. I usually nod throughout the day while I'm sitting in front of my computer, but I did not get sleepy one time Friday. Although Anna is not to disclose her opinion of her observation of my sleep pattern she did tell me that I definetly have sever apnea. I asked her then what is the next step in this process and she told me that the Doc would have to view the disc of me sleeping and forward this info to some company that will come out and set up a cpap in my home. Now that's all great, but my surgery is scheduled for Monday 11/6. I don't think Dr Barker is going to allow me to have my surgery if I don't have that machine. So I asked Anna to see if she could get the reading expedited quickly so as to not delay my surgery again.....I'm going to call Barkers office tomorrow and inquire about my fate.....
