this 10 day liquid diet is b/s. but i'm doing it. now on day 9. chicken and beef broth is so goooood(lol) my stomach is doing some serious talking to me right now. sometime today i willtry to post some pics of my babies (son and grandkids). gotta finish this broth. later days

NOV. 23 2004~~~~~~ I went to see my OB GYN doc today for my yearly. She is so against me having the surgery. Told me thatI was obese and that I needed to go on a diet. HELLO, if I could do it on my own then I would be 125lbs now. Thank you very much. Now we are talking about a lady that is uummmm about 135lbs. So what it came down to was no referral from her. As you can see , i will have this surgery somehow.I will see what my PCP says on the 7th of Dec. When I go for my reflux. The things i eat just don't want to stay down lately and my reflux is getting worse. That is what it feels like to me anyhoo. I will let ya know how that appt.goes with the PCP. Take care and GOD BLESS ALL.

Dec.7,2004~~~~~~Went to see my new PCP today. This just sucks!!!
Don't these people not know that I LIL D.will not give up, because they think that I should be on another freaking diet. My pcp put me on an 1600 calorie diet and told me to come back in jan.2005. I hope to have my surgery by then (lol) It just makes me even more determined to do whatever I have to do for a healthier life. He said,(my pcp) that he believes and knows about gastric bypass surgery but, he is not going to write me a referral to see the surgeon. So guess what? I do not need a refferal since I have 2 or more co-morbs. When I got home I called the surgeon and made an appt. for the consult.
Because my hubby told me that with our ins.I did not need a referral except if it was medically n. So I have an appt. with Dr.Warnock the 17th of dec. yah!!! I have most of my medical records and have been getting my letters and diet list together so that I will be prepared when I see him. Found out where the support group meetings are and when. So I will be going this sat. I am getting excited about making some prgress now on my journey. I am so looking forward to going.I have already picked up my packet from Dr. Warnocks office. Just have to turn it in. Think I will do that friday.I will update in a couple of days. Take care and GOD BLESS ALL!!!

Dec.13,2004~~~~~~Last week I turned in my new patient packette to Dr. Warnock office. Along with my family history and a lists of ALL THE MANY DIETS that I have done and tried over the last 20 years. It was 2 pages long. Sat.I went to a support group meeting, About 25 minutes of it was boring to me but, I stayed anyway. Overall it was ok. Everything that I have learned about so far has been from my OH family. Thank you all. 4 days till my consult with Dr. Warnock and I am getting nervous, but I will be ok. I just have to get the rest of my medical record together. Dr. Warnock was at the meeting and he seems to be a really nice man. WOW!! Just about blew a gasket here. Called out to the base for my medical records and I was told that it would be 30-45 days before the records are ready for pick-up.And of coures I paniced and called the Dr's office.But, I am ok now. Was told they only need 3-5 years of my records, but I have copies of them all the way back to 1994. So that is good for now too start with. Ok gotta go. Will update friday after app. Take care and GOD BLESS.

Dec.17,2004~~~~~~This is how my day was. After waiting 2 1/2 hours he was finally there . The surgeon had an emergency at the hospital and was running behind. But I was his first patient.Dr. Warnock does other surgerys also. He is really nice. And honey,ask me if I was nervous,lol. I have to stop smoking in 1 month. Go back to see Dr. Warnock in 1 month too. He told me he will do my surgery only if I stop smoking. So I have a month to do it in. I can do that. My DH and daughter said that they will quit smoking with to help me. I love them so much. God gave me a little blessing today and that is a start. Will update again real soon. Oh yeah, my height is 5"1 and I weight 195lbs. Take care and GOD BLESS.

Dec.29,2004~~~~~~Well,here I am. Haven't updated in awhile. This not smoking is really hard to do. Some days I get really dizzy when I light up and take a drag of cigarette. I am eating up the house right now, b/c I have not had a smoke all day. I wonder if i am gaining weight. YES!! Will update again soon.Take care and GOD BLESS.

Jan.4,2005~~~~~~This not smoking thing is h~~~. hard to do but, I am doing it.I gained 1lb.

Jan.16,2005~~~~~Hi, know it has been awhile since updated. So here I go. I have been driving my family crazy b/c I am not smoking now. And it feels like I am gaining weight too, cause I am eating everthing in sight. lol I have to give it up to Gina, g/f really did her thang on my profile. I love the way that it looks. Great job. As you can see my profile is dedicated to my baby sister Mel(AKA NINA). She has been gone for 1 years and 4 months and I really miss her. I know she is with me every day and watching, taking care of the whole family b/c that is what she did.
I go to see my surgeon on the 19 of Jan. So I hope that I pass the lung test. This surgery will mean so much to me b/c I will be able to start over and live a healthier life for me and my family. One day when I really figure this photo stuff out I will put a picture of me my son and my grandsons on here. Lord all i wish and ask is that you give me the strenght and will power to pass this test b/c that is the first step for me. You have to get over 1 hurdle to make it to the next onebut, you also have to believe and I really do believe that I can and will do this. Time for me to go to bed now. God Bless!!!!!!!

Jan.17,2005~~~~~~I am back again. It was a beautiful day today. my DH bought me a new van today. I really do love him. DH is trying to make me feel better about this wls. He knows that I am really trying to quit smoking and that I am going nuts. My next consult is this wed. the 19 of Jan. Soooooooooo nervous. God if you are listen and I know that you are b/c you hear and se everything. Please help me and guide me to pass the lung test my dr. has for me. I know that my sweet moma is scared for me but, I am also scared for myself. I trust and beleive in my heart that you will take good care of me and see me through this. I am praying on this and for this surgery. It will be something good in my life that I do for my health. I am starting to get very scared b/c I do not want to be a very obese person. That is so unhealthy, with so many problems as far as health goes. I know Dr. Warnock is a good Dr. I feel it in my heart.It is getting late nitey nite. God bless!! Take care.

JAN.19,2005~~~~~~I am sooooo happy had and consult today with my surgeon everything went very well. Talked to Debbie in ins and she is going to call my ins co. tomorrow the 20 of jan. With my ins bcbs of texas all they have to do is call them with a surgery date for pre-approval(per-say).Then I have to take a nutritional class and see the pulumonary doc then I get a date. Yah!!!!! God has heard my prayers and blessed me today. Now on to step 3. Dr. Warnock is such a sweet man(that is my opinion) as he was talking to me about us being a family and partners in this journey long term, I started to cry. LOL I balded like a big baby. Dr. handed me some tissues and patted my hand. Gave me a hug too. Very nice man. I feel as though all this is so hard to believe. But it is all true. Bless you Dr. Warnock. Take care and God Bless!!!!!!!

Jan.26,2005~~~~~~Helloooooooooo!! I hope all is doing very well with their losing today. I called Debbie at Dr's office yesterday but, she did not return my call. So I called again today and left another messeage and Finally someone called me back, b/c Debbie was busy. I was told that they are only waiting for the ins.company's call with the approval code b/c I was pretty much approved. (My ins is bcbs fed ppo of tx and they cover wls.) With bcbs they do not approve are disapprove before surgery. They make a dissicion after and b/c my bmi is under 40 but, over 35 it has to be medically nessecicery and it is. At less my surgeon thinks so. I love that. So when Debbie calls it may be thurs, fri, or maybe mon. Then we can schedule my surgery. Today I had my nutritionists class out at sheppard air force base but, I will still take the one at the BCenter here b/c they have much more info for me to learn. Cross your fingers and I am praying that Debbie get a call from my ins co. tomorrow. God please sped them up. I am still dealing with the not smoking. Hard thing to do after smoking for so many years. But i can do it b/c I AM a very strong person.Also I have gods help. Ok time for me to got find something else to do b/c now I want to smoke. Have to occupie my self. Take care and God Bless all.

Jan.27,2005~~~~~~I called Debbie today at Dr. Warnocks office and she told me she had just contacted my ins company. Was waiting to here back from them. So here I am waiting still. Jan. 31, 2005~~~~~~ I called my ins company and I was told that the ins Dr. had my paperwork doing a review. Still waiting. A lot of waiting.
Feb. 1 2005~~~~~~~ I called Dr. Warnock's office again and finally talked to Debbie. I have to take all of my medical records to her so they can look them over. Feb. 2 2005~~~~~~~~ Took my records to Debbie and she made a lot of copys and told me that Dr. Warnock wants me to have a sleep study and a phsy eval done .NP I can do that. BTW I gain another 4 lbs from all this stress.

Feb. 14-18,2005~~~~~~ This week my appts where made for my sleep study and P-eval, so I have P.-eval on march 1 and s. study on the 18 of march unless someone cancels before then. Right now I am just going with the flow.And doing a lot of praying.

March 1,2005~~~~~~~~ Today I went for my evaluation. I was nervous but it went away quickly lol. Everything went very well I think. The doctor I Talked to told me that I was a great canadiate for the wls and that he was going to recommand it, that I have it.The doctor was easy to talk to. Just be honest with him or her and be honest with yourself.My ins co. will have my info from him in 2-3 days. So will Dr. Warnock's office. I will keep on praying for my surgery. Things are going well.

I hate ins. companys.
