The weight that I started out with is 332 pounds size 30/32 I am hoping to ease to a size 10 comfortably. I know that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. My surgery was the 25th of Feb. 2002. I did not have any complications actually everything went smooth except I was going crazy because I could not free willy right away. ( do the # 2) But everything else was fine. I must admit I have been a bad girl I have stop drinking my protein but I am going to start back on Monday March 3rd 2002. I still need to excersize more because I am not getting enough.
Feb. 27, 2002 I apologize for not updating my profile I realize that other pre-ops may need encouragement. As of today I have lost a total of 120 pounds sometimes I think that's not enough , but I thank God for what he has already done for me. This was not a easy road to keep loosing weight remember the surgery is just a tool. I to still look for encouragement from post-ops. I would not change it for the world I actually would have it done over again. I vow to keep my page updated from this point on . I am looking to have a breast-reduction along with a tummytuck if that is possibe. Buy the wya I went to New York Lerners today and bout a size 14 crop pants. I will update pictures as soon as possible. Fourteen is good isnt it especially coming form a 30/32. May God continue to bless evryone who views this page.
Today is May 1st, 2003 I am on a straight up plateau I am not coping with this at all I still need to loose about 60 more pounds to be at my goal weight. As I have stated before I can do all things through christ who gives me strength. I recently had a breast reduction Lord knows I sure did need it I was looking like a drum stick, icecream cone etc. You get the picture. I will update my pictures just as soon as I take some more. Well until next time take care and God Bless.
Today is August 19th, 2003 I was on a plateau for about 4 months I am now under 200lbs and enjoying every bit of it. I tried drinking the whey protein and it really help to curve your appetite if you are feeling hungry. I went to see Dr. Fabito a couple of weeks ago and his medical assistant Ida told me my goal weight was 124lbs I almost fell to the floor then Dr. Fabito told me that he only wanted to see me get to 150-160 pounds that was a big relief. Once I reach that I might start thinking about the 124lbs. I still have not taken any pictures hopefully I will do that real soon. Well until next time Peace, Love, & Soul

I HAVE GAINED A FEW POUNDS BACK AND NOW I AM CURRENTLY DOING THE LEMONADE DIET TO GET 165LBS THAT IS MY GOAL WEIGHT. The weight that I started out with is 332 pounds size 30/32 I am hoping to ease to a size 10 comfortably. I know that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. My surgery was the 25th of Feb. 2002. I did not have any complications actually everything went smooth except I was going crazy because I could not free willy right away. ( do the # 2) But everything else was fine. I must admit I have been a bad girl I have stop drinking my protein but I am going to start back on Monday March 3rd 2002.

Today is May 25th, 2006 I am currently starting to loose weight again I was at a major plateau for about 1 year. I gained about 30 pounds back. and as of April 2006 I started loosing again. I had gotten back upto 210pounds. I am currently at 180 pounds now. And I plan to loose about another 30 pounds, but I will settle for 25. My goal size is 10-12 my goal weight is between 150-160. I know that I can do it. I started walking about two months ago and I have noticed the big difference. I have an appointment scheduled to see a plastic surgeon next week hopefully my new insurance will approve me to have an adominaplasty. I have so much loose skin that it is creating several rashes and turning to a dark color under the loose skin. I am praying that this will work. I have been feeling a knot in the lower part of my stomach not sure what that could be. I don't think a hernia would be in the lower part of your stomach. We'll I will leave for now and I will return at a later date. God Bless those who review my profile.

It has been years since I have updated, I have gain about 45 of my pounds back from the initial loss. The lowest weight was 176 and I am currently 220. in the process I have develop plantar fasciitis and now I am limited on the high impact exercise I loved to do. I have reverted back to old habits, partially because of my health, I have hiatal hernia, dilated astamps is, Gerd-Acid reflux, polyps in my stomach that had to be removed. My stomach is so far in my chest I have to eat much to try to keep it down. I've been trying to get a revision however I have been denied. I have filed my second appealed, now I am on my third appeal. I believe this is to the medical staff not properly documenting the initial reason I came in for. They automatically carted me off to a seminar for weight loss, when I initially went in for the stomach problems I was having. I am praying that all can be rectified in a swift manner for this hernia is very very uncomfortable. I don't understand why I was denied, the insurance company placed me on a supervised diet for three months, and I was to see my medical doctor and the nutritionist. My medical doctor put me on Phentermine and I out about 13 pounds in the three months. Well guess what the insurance company denied me because they said I lost weight with diet and EXERCISE and they find it to be INVESTIGATIONAL and not MEDICALLY NECESSARY. While in the process I am looking I to a procedure call a Endoscopic Stoma & Pouch Repair. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can begin to loose weight again with this her is please advise.
