Bandiversary!!!

Sep 25, 2009

I was looking forward to this day. I am so proud of myself but could not do it without you guys support. I am so happy with my life right about now and then on the market to purchase my first house. My husband and I is so excited. Anyway I have loss an average of about 123lbs. I don't really know how to express myself right now. Going from a size 24  to a size 4 is believable. Again thank all of you guys. Maybe soon I will figure out how to update my avatar.

Vacation!!

May 27, 2009

 Ok guy it has been a long time since I have written in my blog but I just got back from vacation and really had a good time. All of my family was so proud of me and I didn't have to hear any negativity from anyone. People who haven't seen me in a while didn't know who I was but later recognize my smile and gave me good compliments. Again I am so proud of myself and I love my band to death. I would never thought in this year that I would be down to a size six.  I did eat pretty much what I wanted when I was home but still didn't gain a pound because while I was there I still ran about 2miles a day. I just have a question for the doctor on tomorrow because sometimes not all the time when I eat or drink feel like I have to throw up or even throw up and I have been making my husband worried. I just hope that it is not a slippage or nothing or maybe something acidy that I may was eating or drinking. However I really appreciate all of you guys for y'all support and will post new pics soon.

Its Been A While

Feb 26, 2009

Hello Oh family again it's been awhile since I posted but I am still around. the last couple of months have been fine and I was sitting her thinking about this time last year I was about 260lbs and now I am about 182lbs. What a big different I am so happy that my life is almost where I won't it to be I only got to go about 15 more lbs. I feel so much better and able to do alot of things that I have never been able to. I went from a size 22-24 to a 14 and it fills wonderful(they are loose). But not with the help of my husband and kids support I don't think I could of have done it. I exercise often to try to maintain my wt loss and not really trying to get of track( I have ate things I didn't suppose to but I think I deserved it).The only real concern that I am having is everyone notice that I have loss wt but what happen when these compliments stop. I am eager to keep my mind set on the things that I am really here to accomplish. Again I thank all of you guys for yall comments, prayers, and answers to some of my weirdest questions. I will post new pics in a bit so you guys can see my results.

Finally

Dec 04, 2008

Ok guys! I know that I haven't been posting in a while but I will try by best to get you guys up to speed. I finally got my last bill from my surgery and it actually wasn't so bad. Thanksgiving was great! I went home to Mississippi to see my family and we had a good time even thou I gain a pound and a half(that's ok I think I deserve that). On Tuesday I finally got my first fill and I wasn't bad at all but Dr. Steinberg say that I didn't have any restriction and under the flouroscopy you can actually see that yukky stuff going straight through. I got 5cc put in my band so I was told not to eat any bread or steak at all or I will regret it. Even thou I luv steak I can live with that however. I just thank GOD that I made the right decision and I luv my band. What a realization!!!!!!!

Ok guys today I feel like what the hell I was thinking bout. then again I know I did this from a medical stand point to make me health. But today and yesterday I haven't eating anything the doc nurse called me a script in because I vomited twice and it worked a whole lot. I can't wait until this feeling pass I just think it's a hungry with drawl since I can't eat. I been sweating and the gas is horrible. I tried on Monday to start work but I only lasted 4.5hrs and was back in the bed. But hopefully I will feel better soon so I can start back getting my energy I use to have. By the way I already loss 10lbs.

Pre-Op

Sep 23, 2008

On today I had an appt. I thought for my pre-op but need to say it was yesterday. I have been so nervous this week knowing that it's about to be a big change in my life i forgot what today's date was.But the receptionist was very nice and reassured me that it's was OK an they will fit me in and this happens all of the time.After I did get my paper work done the admission lady gone tell me that they verified my insurance and that my deductible wasn't meetknowing that that wasn't true. However they went ahead and saw me but me being me I had to call the insurance company myself. After speaking with the representative she stated that know had call them prior but my deductible was meet several months ago.  I am just glad that my new life is about to start but my stomach I feeling like butterflies knowing that Thursday is the big day.But for now I would keep everyone posted on my next journey of being banded.

What a Day!!!

Aug 22, 2008

This mourning I had an appointment for an ultrasound and a barium something but anyway I drank this thick white stuff that wasn't all that tastefulI thought that I had to throw up, but I made it. Also I went to see Dr. Steinberg again and we went back over everything and told me that they have started using the new bands which is the realize band. He told me that is was my choice but he perfer that one because he has seen more from the outcome. I told him that he was the doc and he knows what work the best. After the exam I spoke with Shauwna and she gave me all of my pre-op info and told me I should receive a call in about three days to get my date WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
