Hi family it has been well over a year or maybe even two since I last posted to my wall.  I guess it has been because I am somewhat ashamed of the fact that I have regained over half of the weight I have lost and have had no follow up care.  I had my surgery in ALT and am now in NOLA and there is not a Dr here that will see me.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to start the wl process again on my own.  I still cannot eat large portions and will still dump if I try to overdo it so I know my tool still works I am so desperate for some help right now. 

Hello Family,

I hope all is well,  I am doing well in spite of all that is going on in my life.  My one year is coming up and it seems like omg I just had wls  yesterday.  I must say that I am soooo happy I did it thanks for all of you support you all are awesome!!!

hello all sorry not have have written I am going thru a really rought time my husband passed away on 061109 and I am trying to deal with life as it stands i am trying not to allow food to be my comfort and just move along .  If you all don't hear from me charge it to my head and not my heart

I am coming up on my 6 mos and I went from a size 20/22 to 12 hows that for wls.  I am sooooo grateful for wls it saved my life.

Hello All,

I really need to be better at updating my profile.  I just want to say that I am blessed and better than that I am better than blessed.  I have lost weight as well as taken out all of the trash in my life.  I am now back to work and starting life over again.  My current weight is 185 I am down about 80-85 pounds in 6 mos and I couldn't be happier.  I have a new look, new job and new outlook on life.  I love all of you and thank you for your continued support.( I even found a support group here in New Orleans and it's AA.    Be blessed

Hi everyone I know it has been a while I am finally stable now and getting on with my new life.  I am down 85 pounds at 5 mos post op and just loving life.  I am ready to get out and start working now.  Still don't have the support I need from the husband and so I am moving on.  Gone baby Gone

Hello All,

I am sincerely sorry that I have not posted.  OMG I have been thru sooooooo much since surgery on Sept 29TH .   My surgery was very successful I stayed an extra day because I had alot of nasuea and vomitting but other than than no problems.  That was until I ate the wrong thing which put me back in the hospital for a week and then following a series of weeks of just being doggishly sick.  Good news is that all is well now God has healed me and I am soooooo much better. 

Too bad I cannot say that about my marriage my husband has not been on board with me having the surgery from the beginning and me being sick from it has just shown who really has my best interest at heart.  Enough about that.  I am so glad that I decided to have this surgery because even at this moment I can feel life changing (for the better).  I have lost well over 57 pounds and I couldn't be happier I look and feel so good.  It is a day to day struggle with the vitamins and foods but I have nothing but time.  I am not working now but at the begining of the year I will start looking again.

I promise to post again soon

I am so very excited but today I got a little scared.  I guess because reality has set in.  Anyway, my date is 09-29-2008 and the I will be reborn. 

Okay guys,  here is where I start.   On April 17th of 2008 I turned 30 years old.  Now thrity is not old but my body and health make me feel this way sometimes.  I have type 2 diabetes and have been diabetic for well over 11 years.  I've trie everything under the sun to get things in control, but I've been very unsuccesful.  One day I was online and came across a program that stated there was a cure for diabetes so I watch only to find out the RNY was as close to a cure as ever.  So I made up in my mind that I would bring this up to my PCP who I was going to see because again I was sick.     She sent a referral over to one of her collegues and right away I attended a wls seminar and met Dr Johnson. This was as of April 14th well by the 22th of April I started the processes for approval. Well, today is Sept 1st.   Here is the were this nightmare begain.


O my God, I was  sooooooo excited that I had gone thru all of the processes:  the upper GI,  the Psych Eval, the DIETITIAN!!.   Finally it was all done and my file was sent for approval as of July 1st  by July 15th I was DENIED.  I could figure it out I had done all I know I needed to do and so did the doctor's office.  Let me back track for a moment I orginaly signed up for Lap Band but changed to RNY when I heard that it was a 80-90% resoulution for type two diabetes.   When my doctors office sent over the paperwork for certification they never changed the procedure. So therefore it was denied because BCBSGA stated I had no coverage for WLS.  Well being the fighter that I am( If overcame Hurrican Katrina, than certainly I was not going to let BCBSGA of the hook that easy)

Atter fighting, fussing, and calling every single day they finally approved me O0000000000 about 2 days ago.  They stated that there info about my coverage was confilting and that they had to do more research.  I really is I changed jobs and my coverage was going end as of 08/31 but they never took into acct that I opted for cobra coverage.  They did not want to approve me because they felt that  if they could prolong the process  I would give up and that they would not have to pay for the surgery,   But God is good because I will get my surgery date sometime this weekend and I'll let ya'll know when it will be.


By the way there is more to this story, but I am sooooo tired I have over 13 of my family members in my as we speak who had to evacuate from New Orleans so I really gotta go. 


Smouches Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
