1 year anniversary!!!

Nov 12, 2009

Just doesn't seem like it should have been a year already!!!! Had my check up my Dr.s PA said not to lose any more weight....lol Wow, no one has ever told me that in my whole entire life!!!! He told me I have lost 85% of my body weight and that is plenty. My bmi is like 23.7 I think. Just really hard to believe a year ago today I was laying in a hospital bed thinking what have I done to myself?? lol I am sooooo glad I made that decision and have a new life and a new body!!!! I feel so much better, no aches and pains. I even have a second job now and I still have energy to come home and get my house work done.....lol Good luck to anyone that is just beginning their journey and keep up the good work to all the others that have already had their suregery and are continuing their journey.

Soo Happy I Did This....

Mar 17, 2009

I can fianlly say I am sooo glad I had this surgery!!! I feel so much better and can do so much more. I still get tired alot, I think I will be getting B12 shots at my next Dr. appointment though. I look at all the before and after pictures on here and it just amazes me how much my life is going to change when I am done losing what I want to lose. Still have a hard time with the compliments, guess didn't have any for so long that it just seems weird now. Good luck to anyone that is considering having this done and to all who have had it.

Wow!!!

Dec 22, 2008

It's been some time since I posted anything on here. Right after the surgery I wasn't sure I had done the right thing. I was in so much pain and so miserable, was really doubting my decision. Went back to work and pulled a muscle in my stomach, just really really disgusted. Thank God I have changed my mind!!! I am feeling much better and have tons more energy. Went shopping over the weekend and bought a size 18, was in a 24. That was the greatest feeling in the world when they just pulled right up and fit just right. I know I won't be in them for long, but it was an awesome feeling. People are really starting to comment on my loss now and that makes me feel good too. I can truly say now that if you are thinking of having this surgery, definitely 100% do it!!!!! It is soooo worth it to have all this confidence and energy back. Good luck to all the newbies and don't get discouraged. Happy Holidays everyone and a Happy New Years!!!!

Approved on the first try!!!

Sep 05, 2008

Well it was all worth it!!! I got approved on the first try and my surgery is scheduled for Nov. 11th. It seems like a long way off but I am sure it will go fast. Anyone have anything to share I am more than willing to hear it. I am scared, excited and just really emotional about the whole thing. Can't wait to be able to start again and be a whole new me. As I said any input would be greatly appreciated.

Psych eval

Had my psych. eval. on Mon. Wow, there were alot of questions to answer. Lots of paper work, but if it helps with the approval then it was worth it. I feel like some kind of hypacondriac(not sure I spelled that right). Have Dr. appts. every week til the end of the month. Karen at Dr. Newlins office gave me some forms for my PCP to fill out and hopefully these will help.

Finally feels real.

Well I only have one more month left of my 6 month Dr. weight loss. Saw the nutritionist yesterday and have an appt. with Dr. Newlin next month. It finally feels like it's going to happen soon. Of course have to apply for the approval yet. That is what's making me the most nervous. Afraid that my PCP isn't doing my documentation right. Guess we just have to wait and see what happens. Have heard that the nurse that takes care of the approval process is awesome at what she does. Have all the faith that she will do her best.
