Hello my name is Caron. I am a 29year old mother of two who has been overweight all of my life. I have attempted several diets over the course of many years, and have not had any success. I started to consider wls about 3 years ago and when i attemted to start getting things together i chickened out, due to being scared of the many complications. I had seen many people and friends that had known or even had the surgery, so it had put my mind at ease a lil
. So finally I decided that I needed to go ahead and consider doing this because I have co-morbites conditions such as High blood pressure and Sleep apnea. I just got a different insurance called aetna which allowed me to get a new primary care physician whom is really great. When I saw him he really reccomended that I go ahead and have it and he reccomended Dr Doug Olsen.
On Febuary the 19 I attended the wls seminar which was very informative to me. Dr. Olsen was the spokesman, and he was very thorough about the risk and everything you needed and wanted to know about wls. The next day I called every doctor I had went to for medical records and everything so that I could give to Dr olsens office to submitt to my insurance company. The day after I got everything except the letter i neede from my pcp so I am awaiting to get that on monday Feb 24. So everybody wish me luck that they have everything so they can submit my info. I will let you know about the progress.

Hello fam just come on her to vent a little. Jus feeling a little sad
dont know why. I think cus everything is just starting to hit me. Man im so clode to finding out a date and realizing that I will be losing another person. the me, the heavy me that i have known for so long. And not really sure what kinda reactions ill get. I know people will make comments like is she sick? does she have aids? what did she do? and i know im gonna run into that. but u know im tryna get the negative out of my mind and think about how healthy and gud i will look how ill be able to cross my legs, run with my son, do more things with my daughter, not shop in the plus size sept, be able to get on the rollercoasters and not be scared if the seatbelt will fit. start modeling man it is so much that im looking forward to doing. but for some reason i have just had this sadness come over me. have any of u felt like this? hmmmm im just sitting here thinking about alot. thinking am i gonna get enuf protein and water in just the basics. thinking what in the world will i look like in a size ten. man that is so scary to me u guys. i have always been the pretty faced chubby girl now im gonna be the pretty face skinney gurl. man i remember back in grade school the boys would say you would be fye if you was skinney. man how mean was that that kinda hurt my feelings. but anyway maybe ill feel beter this is gonna be a life changing experience. I feel i know all there is to know i do nothing at work but stay on the site and read, read, read. so i am aware of every complication, and what i have and need to do so i am fully educated about what im going to do. Anyway i called my doctor and asked had they sent off my things they said no they would do it this afternoon, so i hope they aint playing cus im getting very anxious and ready to get this over wit 4real. well i guess im thre venting holla at yall wit a date or if i need to vent again. oh and soon i will need a angel so any volunteers let me know

Hello i am back havent been here in a min. Well its been a change, the original doctor that I had I just found out that he aetna(my insurance) does not cover an out of network doctor
. So therefore i had to find another doctor that covers my insurance. Ok I have found a doctor that covers
his name is Dr. George Lynch from Baptist hospital . I havent met him but I have a appt to meet with him on 3-12-08. I went to the center and gave them all the info that I had given to Dr olsens office. The only thing is that I have to do 3month program that my insurance requires i was so mad.
Cus i figured that I had every thing. But I know 3 months will come very fast. The 3 months is going to consist of me seing a nutritionist, attending some support meetings and meeting with the doctor. Also it will give me enough time to stop smoking
. Im trying to cut this habit but it is very hard for me
So anyway I hope I can have the surgery before my sons b-day which is July 1. Plus I want to be a little smaller for when I go to atlanta in sept. So i will post you on wed and let you know what happened at my appt with my new doctor. See you later
3-13-08
Hello im back! Well im late on updating you all about my appt, i got so caught up on some other things. Well I met with the nutritionist and the surgeon that will be doing my surgery and he was very nice. He agreed that I as making the right decision. He was very thorough and explanined everything to me without rushing. I really felt comfortable with him. They told me that now I would need to get started on changing my eating habits to get prepared for surgery. My thing is I need to leave the cigarettes alone
. Today i made a promise to myself that I would not smoke anymore. I had my last cigarette this morning. They told me that if i didnt stop that when the schedule my surgery date hopefully sometime in late may early june, that I wouldnt be able to have it. So therefore im gonna have to discipline myself. Man this is starting to feel so real to me. I have never went this far to pursue this surgery. Well i have a total of 10 weeks left before they send my paperwork to the insurance company I cannot wait. Before then i have to attend 2 support groups and keep in contact with the nutritionist and exercise person. After that i will see the surgeon one more time. My first support group 4-1-08 and the second one is 5-6-08. Well rite now my intentions are to keep reading the manual that they gave me which tells me everything I need to know to do before and after surgery. Its a pretty nice size book. So through the weeks i will keep you all posted on everything. Much love! Talk to you all soon.
