Saturday morning I talked with Pam. She is real sore & has some nausea but sounded real good on the phone. She possibly might be able to go home on Monday. Her mom is with her & she said the hospital staff has been great. May the Lord be with her & others in a very special way at this important time in their lives. Our prayers are with you Pam.

I have just spoken with Pam Wilemons mother on the phone at Shelby Baptist Medical Center in Alabaster, AL. She had her surgery today & is doing well at the present time. Her mom said she is resting & sleepy from the surgery. The doctor also had to remove her gallbladder. Pam is in Room 315A. Please continue to keep her & her family in your thoughts & prayers during this time. Pam is a wonderful teacher & has become a very good friend of mine. Wishing her & all others many healthier & happy days as they begin this new journey in their lives. God Bless!

Hi Pamela, just wanted to send you good wishes on your surgery tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. By the way, I'm a native Alabamian and lived in Tuscaloosa for awhile, back in the late 80's :-) Keep us posted on your success. Good luck!!

Pamela-I am having surgery on May 25 too. I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery.You are a very strong person to have already lost 200 pounds before surgery.Maybe we will see each other in lala land .lol.

Hi Pamela, I have just read your post about the problems you experienced as an obese teacher. Well I also am a math teacher from Georgia who weighs around 510 pounds. I am sorry to hear about all the bad things that you had to go through on your job. It sounds to me as if you have already done a wonderful job in your weight loss efforts( a loss of 200 pounds had to of taken much work,diligience on your part). I have never had to experience the specific things you talked about, but there have been times when I have felt that I didn't fit in at my job due in part to my weight & my height(6'1"). Just like you I love my job & I enjoy working with my students. I hope to be able to continue to do so but this surgery would definetly help me out with some of the medical problems I have. Insurance exclusions seems to be a problem for me. I am so glad that you were able to qualify for the surgery & try not to let the events from this 1 school get you down. It sounds to me as if you are a great teacher with much potential to offer your students & it is ashamed that this school system did not realize this & offer the support that you needed. I wish you the best as your surgery date approaches. GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS.

Hello Pamela! I'm a former resident of T-town (went to grad school there in the mid-90's). Just wanted to wish you luck with your surgery!! I'll be ahead of you by a few weeks, mine is May 3 way down in Fairhope, Al. but logistically we're not that far apart - I live in Hamilton, just about 70 miles from Tuscaloosa. Again, best wishes, it'll be here before you know it! Kay Marshall BMI 56 PreOp: May 3 Dr. James Seay
