I also called doc bell office to see if they hade gotten my paper work from my primary care center and guess wut? they didnt! my doctor that i hade she left the hospital & i guess she forgot to send it in. so i hade made an appointment to see my primary care & it is on 8/28/07,So then i can tell my new doctor that is replaceing my old doctor for him or she to please send in my papers. thats all i need to do.I am already seeing my Nutritionist and i still haven't heard from my insurance if i still have to goes for the 6months or not. but I will still be attending to see her so just in case if i do then i will be already be close to the 6months visit. and dont have to start all over again.the lady at doctor bell office said that after i see my counseling and the heart doctor then i will have an appointment to see my doctor for I guess a pre-op for surgery i was sooooooo excited when she told me that.Well... thats all the update i have rite now i will update my page after i see the counseling on 8/27/07 thanks for Takeing ur time to read my page and who ever is gettin the surgery done,I will keep u in my prays thank u and god bless!!!

hello OH Family,
today i hade the 3 hours visit at the dr with they person who is goin to put me to sleep it went really good alot of things that she told me b4 surgery and after u know basic things.i wake up at 6am and hade the appt at 7:30am and i got out of there at 10am i couldnt sleep that good that well last nite cuz i was nervous and it wasnt even my day of surgery so i can imagin the nite b4 my surgery lol so i left at 10am and head to dr bell office and it took an hour and some of the things that already was said to me at my eairler appt was said by him and i asked a few questions so i am just waitin for my surgery day to come and i am happy still scared shit less lol but they said everything is goin to be alrite and i was happy to hear that from the person who is goin to put be to sleep and dr bell i thought my surgery was the 27th but its not its the 26th instead they also said 3 days b4 surgery i have to eat light so after thanksgivin the 23rd thats when i have to start eatin light things and they told me that after surgery i dont have to be on metformin anymore which is great to hear and my birth control is really small so i can still take them after sugery but with a sip of water.so i am now just waitin for my surgery day its an 2 hour surgery and i will be stayin in the hospital for 2-3 days which is fine with me. I aslo ask my dr if they can record the whole thing and he said sure i know some of u guys might think im crazy and i think its bad luck but its not he just told me the day of the surgery just remind him.they told me after i get out from surery i have to start walkin cuz i might get a blood clot which will be really bad and they told me when im layin in the bed to try and move around for not to lay just in one place for a long period of time. and if i have any pain i just have to let the dr's know they told me alot of wut i have to do so im goin to follow they rules that they have set from me and just be on my way to the loser bench the 23rd i have to call and find out wut time to they want me to come in for surgery so im goin to do tha.and 1 question that i hade to ask about the breathin tube they said that i will be sleepin when they put it in and b4 i wake up thats when they will take it out i was really great to hear that cuz thats the one thing i was scared of if they do that while i am still up but they said no. YAY! but they take it out i might be sore for 1 day b/c of the breathin tube. and they told me after surgery i have to take 3 deep breathes every hour while i am awake and a cough once or twice immediately. and after the surgery i have to come back within 2 weeks for my first post-op and i cant wait to see how much i loose within those's 2 weeks. im goin to do alot of walkin and excises so the weight can come off.they also weighed me and they scale says im 255lbs but im goin to try to eat not that much at thanksgivin b/c i do not wanna gain alot of weight. so they will probably weigh me again the day of surgery. i am also goin to takes some b4 pics and after pics i will keep u update about that.and i have to not eat or drink anything after 12am which is goin to be hard b/c sometimes i get hungry alot after 12 and my mouth get dry and thats when i drink some water but im goin to not think about it that much but im just goin to enjoy my thanksgivin dinner and eat til i get full and the next day im on light foods.but im goin to stop talkin and i will update my page mybe b4 my surgery. or when i get home from the hospital.so thats all i have for rite now and i think i am ready for surgery and that i am in god hands and in the dr hands. but b4 i stop writin i ask for those's who will be readin my page please have me in ur thoughts and prays.Thank you! and thanks for thoses who have wrote me notes sayin nice things to me and talkin to me about the surgery. til then good nite and god bless u all..........

HELLO OH FAMILY,
well i hade my surgery on the 12th and everything went good thank god all i remember is this guy who had the surgery done by dr bell roll me in the operated in and i was laughin with drs and one of them said okay are u ready and i said sure and then after that i dont know wut else happen i woke up in the recovering room cryin sayin my stomach hurts and fallin in and out of sleepin.and my parents came to see me after i got out of surgery and then after that all i remember was my eyes was opening and closeing and they said to me we will be back when they take u to ur room.I waited 6 hours to get scroll to my room it was crazy but i really didnt mind bcuz i was sleepin on and off. so once i got into my room i was fine just relaxin and was really happy that it was done and over and they had gave me pain med and it makes me fall asleep. and then i think i hade to take the nasty drink so i did and omg it taste so freakin nasty but i didnt throw up or anything and they had check if everything was in place and if anything was draining out and it wasnt thank god and thats when they took me back to my room and i ask if i can drink some water cuz the taste was horrible and so they gave me some water to sip on and then thats when they told me i have to start drinkin insure so i did and it taste like slim-fast which is a good thing cuz i had it b4.so i really couldnt sleep that much in the hospital so i was in and out thru out the whole nite and i say about 4 in the mornin the ad come in to take some things and i said im ready to start walkin so he help me up and i was huirtin a lil then i walk from the bed to only the door and back to the chair and i was tire and was in pain.so then the next day i tried it again and i walk from my area to the other area and it took some time to get to one end to back to mines. but i wasnt sittin down cuz i was afraid i was goin to get blood clots and i didnt want that.well I came home that friday with alot of pain while i was under i inhale alot of gas so i have gas in my stomach they just told me to walk around alot and that the gas will come out. so i have been doin that and its been helpin. they also gave me some pain med that when i got home i could take if i had any pain and im happy that they did give it to me cuz i was in really bad pain so i have been takin it at night rite b4 i head to sleep it says to take it every 4-6 hours if needed for pain and i haved.and that stuff really works i call it a happy med cuz it makes me fall asleep really quick and the pain goes away fast. i am still drinkin the insure 3 times a day the mornin,lunch and dinner and its goin down but i been drinkin it like its water. i havent had any problems with that thank god and they have me on vitamins i was takin pepcid for my gas for my stomach 20mg which was 2 instad of 1 cuz they are only 10mg and i needed 20mg. but i had stop takin them bcuz my gas has calm down and i thank god for that cuz it taste so nasty but hey i had to take it so that my gas could go away & it helped alot.. so then i take 1 chewable flintstons twice a day and then i take 1 pill of calcium twice a day and i love takin it cuz the calcium is chocolate and it just taste so good. and after i do that 3 times a day i just sip on some water or some diet ice tea and i dont feel hungry at all which is a blessin for me. or then i will have surger free/fat free popsciles and soup brofe. durin the days i was in the hospital i weigh myself and it said 260lbs & then 2 days when i got home i weigh it said i weigh at 250lbs wow is this true? that im almost one week post op and i lost 10lbs already? wow its crazy but im not sure if its rite or not cuz my scale at home sometimes messes up. but i have an appt with dr bell this thursday and i hope it is true that i lost that much or more then 10lbs which i should bcuz i have been goin up and down my stairs and walkin around my house alot. but i know that hes goin to weigh me. but i do feel like i lost some weight i think its startin to show in my face my face is so soft and nice and my arms lookin like its get thiner im just so thankful that i went for the surgery im not even goin to lie when i came home i was in alot of pain and i kept on sayin to myself and to my mother that i regret havin surgery cuz i was in sooooo much pain and my mom kept on sayin to me that u wont regret it once ur gas in ur stomach go away and when u loose the weight and its true cuz i am feelin like a new person but now that the pain is less i am happy that i went for it. and ready to start to loose more weight and work out i cant work out til my dr tells me to.its only 6 lil holes on my stomach and it is healin up really good my mother said but i feel different cuz where the drain was its now got green stuff in it so i will just ask my dr about it.i cant wait to go see dr bell so then he will tell me when i can start eatin soft foods and i am ready to do so even thou i dont feel hungry.but still just to have something in my stomach.cuz im not even goin to lie since i been home my momther cooked some sloppy joe and some meat balls for my father and it was killin me cuz i wanted to taste a lil but i didnt cuz i didnt wanna throw up so u just put my face down to the bowl and smell it which didnt do nothin but it wasnt cuz i was hungry it was all up in my mind but i did controll myself. and then a couple days leter my mom brought pizza and i did the same thing lol it was just killin me inside that i couldnt even taste just a small bite but when she mad sloppy joe i was truly was about to cry. i dont know but all i know that i have been controllin myself and its a good thing.and i am so happy about it and im also happy cuz since i been out the hospital i havent took my dietbetic pills thats another thing i have to ask dr bell about but it feels good not to take it but b4 i left the hospital i ask about my birth controll should i take them or not and they said yes so thats wut i have been doin cuz its just a really small pill to take.i just wanna say thanks for everyone that had support for me and that keep on havin support for me.well thats all the good news i have so far i will update my page this thursday which is dec 20th, to tell everyone wut my dr said and how much i lost wish me luck and thanks again for thoses who had supported me and still has support in me goodnite and god bless u all.........

hello oh family,
well today i am 1 week post op and i feel good i seen my dr today and everything went fine i lost 8lbs just in 1 so now i weigh 247lbs i cant believe it but he was happy for me and said that im doin a good job. but i thought i had lost more then that but hey its loose to lost 8lbs then nothin.he also want me to start walkin alot i told him that i wasnt sure if i wanted to walk from my house to the library cuz it usally takes me about 15-20 bcuz the blocks are long and he said no start walkin it is okay. i also told him that i stop talkin the pepcid cuz since i was passin out the gas i wouldnt had to take it but he said no i have to take it for the rest of my life i said oh wow bcuz i could get sick but hey its okay thou. i also told him that i have been gettin sick like i felt i was goin to throw up and then i said i might had felt like that cuz i been drinkin the insure fast and they said it could be like that.just take ur time.he also sign for my b12 shot so i either have to get it done at my primary care center or just wait til feb 12th "08" to see him and so one of his nurses can do it for me.so now i have to make an appt with the primary care and thats was suppose to be in april but it cant be so late. i have to get this shot. i doubt that have anything open next month and they just get on my nerves so bad. but i think i just have to make an appt with them and say its important cuz it is. and hope to god that i can get a quick visit all they need to do is give me the b12 shot and then a check up.then i wont have to make another appt in april so thats wut i am goin to do.well i start to eat soft foods dec 26th which is great for me i mean i dont feel hungry but like i said just to have something in my stomach.so they went over it and told me when i start to eat chew slow and dont rush or else it will come back up and i do not want that to happen i could alwayz rap it up and eat it later on. and they said dont drink nothin til 30 mins later.I also had told him that i have been havin diarea alot and he said thats okay its. i just truly cant wait to lose more weight and fit in some clothes without layin on my bed to sip it up and all my fat is hangin over my jeans. also i ask him if i will have alot of hangin and he said yes bcuz all my weight is in my stomach area and once i lose all the weight it will hang i said damn so once i lose all my weight i have to probably get plastic surgery which i dont wanna do cuz i know thats even itself will be very very painful and i just dont wanna have another sugery but i dont know just yet its like 70% that i have to get it done just bcuz alot of my fat is in my stomach area. so we will see if i can try to work it out and then i ask him and he said probably not so damn damn damn... he also wants me to walk 3 times a week which i will do and then try to creast it up 4 times a week.by feb 12th "08" i should probably be down aleast 20lbs or more who knows til the day come.I go to my other dr appt dec 24th and i know that they will weigh me so once i come home from that appt i will update my page and see if i had lost anymore weight.im goin to try and do my best so then i can loose a lil weight b4 i go to that appt.well thats all the news i have as for rite now i will update my page on monday the 24th and tell u how my day went and to see if i had lost anymore weight. til then goodnite and god bless u all.........
