5-26-2006 Well my PCP had no problem with giving me the letter of medical need. Will call surgeon after the holidays and see what the next step is. The nurse say I just have to have a BMI over 40 to be approved, Will See!



7-25-2006 I had my consult today everything went great. I really like Dr. Obeid. I have to get my medical clearance(done, I called my PCP while I was at Dr. Obeid's office) and my pschy eval. ( I knew I should have done that last month) so im working on a date for that i'll keep you posted.


Well I'm not gonna date this series of events have been slacking on my posting caught up on trying to make this thing happen for me. I am so ready for change!

Well I finally got a date for my psych eval. it was 8-15-06 and I chose a Dr. who was familiar and well known in the area with specialities in bariactrics. I was told he will have the reoprt to the surgeon's office in one hour. HAA HAA HAA! Real funny! I can't believe I even fell for that one. I got the report in the mail the end of Septemeber and get this, The surgeon office wrote me a letter stating I could not have the surgery until I was sober 60 days. I told the girl at the surgeon office it had to be a big mistake because I don't drink! Besides I have a copy and my didn't say that. Well my first page of my report was staple to the 2nd page of someone elses report. Needless to say we got it all straighten out and the surgeon office felt so bad that they got thing moving pretty fast.

October 13,2006 I got a call from the surgeon and my paper work went out!!! Now the waiting, but I'm getting better at it, this journey really test your patients!!! You are not gonna believe this. The Nurse at my surgeon office called me and said "you know how it's Friday the 13th and everything that can go wrong,will." I this time I'm steaming, I was nice about the first mess up but another I can't take it. Then she came back and said "YOUR APPROVED" In just 2 hours WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

October 17,2006 I got a call from the hospital today and got my date 11-15-06 with PAT 10-25-2006. I'm speechless catch you later.

10-25-2006 All was well with PAT and they wore me out at that hospital. EKG, PFT, Bloodwork, Chest x-rays, Urine, paperwork, paperwork sand more paperwork!!!

10-27-2006 the scheduler called with a date change. 11-09-06. I was scared I thought they found something Whew!!!! As the saying go it ain't over til it's over!!

11-01-2006 Went out today and did some shopping for things I'll need at the hospital and post-op. I have been on a very reduced calorie high protien diet since 10-25-2006 of which I'm adjusting quite well. I was hungry for 2 days after that I was full of energy. I know what has to be done and I will not jepordize all the hard work leading up to this moment!!!

11-08-2006 Well less than 24 hours and a new me will emerge!!! I have had my moments but I'm not scared because I know God is with me. I got the kids ready to go to moms. By the way, I have four children Greg 19, Courtney 15, Christine 10, Jeremy 8. Greg is at school but the three youngest are at home. I have done well with the pre-diet until today. NO I DIDNT CHEAT, but a sista was hungry as well , you know the rest. I guess it became soreal today. I wanted to go buy something to wear to the hospital but I got to thinking I'm tripping. Why waste my money on something I won't be wearing long. Chris, my husband, is acting like no big deal but I see it on his face and hear it in his conversation. Earlier this morning he said girl what am I'm going to do with your sexy self when your thinner, we both started laughing, hopefully love me the same way he does now. We have been together for 10 years and I have to admit it's been pretty good. Well, I'll update when I'm able but for now I'm going to get some rest. GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS!!
