Feeling blah
Jan 12, 2011
So, Ive hit a plateau of sorts with my weight loss on my own and now I'm considering going back to NY to have my Sleeve done.
I've lost so much weight and now im started to gain again. I havent started eating more so IDK whats causing it.. I bought the TOTAL GYM from QVC who had it on an easy pay plan and I LOVE IT! Its fun plus u do get a serious workout. Ive used it about 3 days this and my arms and inner thighs burn but thats a good thing.
Just wanted to post a mini update. Besides the weight gain all is well and my BornDay is vastly approaching! YAYY to 25

Its been a long while.. I'll try to keep this concise :-)
I still HAVENT gotten my surgery (Not too worried though). I moved back to Georgia currently residing in ATL, getting used to my new place,surroundings, job, school and last but not least THE PEOPLE..
I love it here.. I moved the beginning of July after putting my current job on hold trying to wait out a surgery date. It seemed as the time became closer more things popped up. '
All of a sudden my insurance company at the time ( AFFINITY MEDICAID ) wanted me to do more bloodwork (6th time-ahhhh!)
another endoscopy because the one prior was done 6 months and 4 days (has to be within 6 months)
while trying to get all this done my psych eval became more than a yr old in addition I was told I would have to do that all over again ALSO!!!
Can u feel the frustration, I felt?
I couldnt wait any longer I was ready to get back on my feet and regain my independence..
So, I packed attempted to see everyone I could that WANTED to see me b4 I left and took a long MEMORABLE roadtrip.
I now have BCBS federal Employee Health Benefit- No waiting period- although they have a list of things they want you to get done which may take a while if you havengt been through the process before.
Ive had TRISTATE BARIATRICS in NY whom I love send over all my paperwork to EMORY HEALTHCARE to Dr. Lin
I made an appt for Oct 27th. Im stil attempting to get settled so I figured whats a few weeks.
OOHHH how could I forget..
I weight 321- thats right!!! 3 2 1 ..
@ my heaviest I was about 387- So, from Aug last yr till now Ive lost 66lbs.. all alone no crazy diets not alot of protein drinks and increased activity (walking, working, LAUGHING)
I want to thank everyone for their support people may disreghard it but it has helped me to keep going.. Im considering once again VSG.
Uhh- Thats all that I can think of at the moment..
Muahh!!
Long time coming.. Its not called a JOURNEY for nothing..

Feeling Renewed*
May 29, 2010
Okay- So, thru all the setbacks, sad faces, tears and slanted smiles.. I have Insurance again- YYYAAYYYYY!!!
Thank you all for tke kind words and prayer THEY WERE NEEDED IMMENSELY and my surgery is scheduled for the 16th of June .. The only procedure I have to go thru is my Cardio evaluation for surgical clearance only because it has to be done 30 days prior to surgey and The last one I had was in early April I believe.
So much has come full circle since my SETBACK. I had to let go of two people that were actually Special to me and close to my heart in a little slither of time.
One was this woman that caught me at the first HELLO (Beyonce playing in my head) She lives In Chicago and althoough I had plans to move out there from New York City- Plans shifted flinging me back into the state of Georgia for school towards the end of June. We have pulled away from eachother so hard due to not being able to be around eachother how we would really want. SOooo- I cut that cord and now Im solely focused on my and my progression and I must say Im doing well. No complaints..For me thats saying alot ..lol
The second person was SUUUPPPEEERR cool.. really good person from jump BUT, she had serious trust issues. Every little problem we faced she equated it to trust.. Things like "The sneakers dont fit... Because theres no trust." (Dramatization)That shit doesnt make any since!! Which is why I SNIP -SNIPPED that connection.. She is still a sweetheart to me but or personalities kept clashing. She was just a FRIEND!! Not even a potential lady.. She hated that fact that I have high self-esteem and told me that I shouldnt speak of myself so highly.. WTF?!?!? She must not have gotten the memo.. Im bordering Conceit but not that annoying kind.. Im just overly confident I guess because im FAT I shouldnt be?..lol
WHATEVER!!
Anywho.. Life is going on wonderfully. My sister who had LapBand surgery is doing GREAT.. She's sliming down alot faster than expected.
Well, I have to run but again.. Thank you for everything!! PLEASE continue to pray for me as I will for all of you!

Setbacks..
Apr 20, 2010
So my surgery was supposed to be the 14th of April and on the 2nd of April, My health insurance was cancelled!!
For no apparent reason.. I did all that I was supposed to do(recertified, sent in paperwork, etc)
My world was CRUSHED.
And to put the icing on the cake I also was at an eye doc appt when I was told I no longer had medical coverage,
So, Im sitting there tryn not to cry because immediately Im thinking about surgery ive been tryna get for what coming up on a yr in June...SIGHHH! + I HAD TO COMPLETE THE EYE EXAM FOR A JOB OFFER. Needless to say I had to reschedule the doc appt and push back the job plans surgery happiness in addition to every other happy thought that began to fill my head
Now im waiting on my health insurance to kick back in which could take 30-90 days
Im so sad not to mention feeling defeated
I need a hug + drinks+ a girls night out.
Im ready to shed this shell that has hindered me from sooo much
siggghh!
My Journeys Coming 2 A peak!
Apr 04, 2010
Okay.. So, I haven't written in a while...
Since the last time Ive posted anything, Ive done my Cardio eval over, Blood work over, and scheduled my last weigh-in which is April 6th!
I'm sooo super excited and cant wait for this process to be over!
I started last year in June with another Hospital; Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx(They are the most hood-unprofessional, non coordinated place Ive been) then I switched in November to Tristate Bariactrics- Although most of my Journey had to start over I couldn't be HAPPIER here.
Ive lost all my 5% in weight and now I'm "teeter-tootering" between 353/351 which both are Right on target so, Its cool
I have also started drinking excessive amounts of water.. This has aided me tremendously in losing weight. I don't care too much for rice and other starches so, cutting those out were easy.. I bought all types of protein drinks but haven't really gotten into them.
Man.. I don't know what else to say but wish me luck.. I still have to go to Montefiore to get the last piece of this puzzle done- My complete endoscopy report (they only gave me one part knowing I would need both and I've been calling for weeks to get someone on the phone but to no avail, I have to go to the Bronx to get some answers.)
Birthday!
Feb 17, 2010
My bday is two days away and im feeling extra self-conscious- so Im probably spending it at home.. I would love to be out partying and not worrying about what other think but for the first real time in my LIFe as outgoing and outspoken as I am. I feel defeated..
My Surgery dae keeps changing due to my insurance companies requirements as far as the proximty of my blood work and cardio stuff to my surgery date.. UGGGHHHH!!
But April 15 should be the date if not sooner.. SIGH!
well goodnight Hunni-Buns

Ups and Downs..
Jan 13, 2010
Im sitting here, listening to Alicia Keys "Unthinkable" and feeling a deep depression coming on..
Ive been running around like a mad woman tryna get all my medical records, appointments and weigh-ins completed.. I missed a month In Aug and had to start the 6 Months allllll over! CAN U SAY PISSED?
My Grandfather; the rock of my life. the calm before during and after every storm Ive encountered passed away in November and Ive lost 18lbs since then..
My new surgery date will be sometime in February.. How cool would it be if it was on the 19th (My bday) Ive gotten so used to not doing anything for birthdays maybe that'll be the excitement and change I need.. Who knows.
Im just ready to shed this shell that I know is holding me back from so much!
Ive always been the center of attention, the one who gets the party started but The last 3 yrs Ive been back in NY have been a real eye-opener for me. I came back to NY from Ga after being there 2yrs and doing extremely well, FOR LOVE.. I used to feel stupid for doing it but, it was a lesson learned, It lasted 2 yrs and I was told to leave.. DAMN!
now im being asked to come back.. go figure..lol
Im heading back to Georgia the end of this yr and this time im definitely "gonna do me" Ive gotten the skool thing in order now I attend and online University(Capella) and couldnt be happier.. Im working on the job part and Finding myself again.. I had gotten so wrapped up in love, In other people, I didnt do anything for myself anymore.. I dont remember the last time I shopped and I love Shopping..
In some sense I feel like Ive been broken, .... SAD
Im ready for new beginnings and new positive people to enter my life..
OHH how could I forget I was pushing a size 28 hard! but I can comfortable fit in a 26 and pull up a 24 but it wont close.. Lol.. But IN DUE TIME!
XOXO LUV U ALL.. thanx for the well wishes
Gonna go get a start on packing for my road trip tomorrow to Alfred State college in NY, My lil cousin is going away to colleg.... IM ESTATIC!

6th Month
Nov 09, 2009
So November is my sixth month and im actually getting extremely nervous.. Whether I actually get this surgery is up to my pcp because she now has to write up a six month letter that states what I've been doing over the course of these last few months, that was supervised!.. which only about a month was actually "Supervised" Because of me not having a pcp and then switching one who was obviously incompetent of following me thru this journey..
So now I have to gather all my medical records for the past 6 months and give them to her so she can view the weight on the forms and try to make some sense of what is needed by my insurance company.. If she doesnt do it i would have to start the whole 6 months all over again.. :-(
Im feling so anxious I could Faint
Pray for me please
I have an appt with her on the 19th I'll keep you guys updated

its been awhile , I know!
Well since we've last spoke my surgery date was a guesstamation but now I've went to the seminar on the 18 and have my doc appt on the 30th of this month.. in the meantime I'm gonna look for two bariatric surgery support groups and attend those because with Montefiore hospital it is a REQUIREMENT! I'm tryna breeze thru all this as soon as possible considering i was supposed to get the surgery 2yrs ago i believe I'm as well informed as I will be... Ive gained weight yet again! and I'm feeling pretty hopeless at this point.. I see my friends on here are doing great for the most part.. wish me luck with all my appts from here on out.. hopefully ill be banded by the end of July
