6 Months ALREADY !
Oct 26, 2008
Well almost but I did have my 6mo follow up. Everything is going great I am having an easier time with my foods except chicken 
. I keep trying but it never works out lol. I will weigh on my 6 mo surgiversary, but at the surgeons I am down 87lb WOO HOOO!!! They did tell me that my thiamine was low ummm hello I had blood work at 6weeks out and your NOW telling me???? Why wasn't I told when I called and asked or even when I saw them at my 3 month apt? I got copies of all my blood work from my PCP from the last year. I will be keeping better track of my labs!!! I will not listen when they tell me it's OK I want to see! (this is a reminder to myself). The nut added a B complex and changed me from the Pepsid complete to calcium. I got a script for blood work and I have to see them in 6 mo. That's all for now I will write more later.

3 MONTH UPDATE
Aug 01, 2008
I had my 3 month appt with the surgeon. Everything is doing great. I am down 63lbs and I couldn't be happier with my weight loss. I am able to eat all of the foods on my food plan most of the time. I have not had too may puking episodes lately yay
. I could be doing better with my exercise. I try but working nights it is a little bit harder. We got a Wii fit the other day so that is my new goal to try and get on that at least 4 days a week and eventually get an eliptical machine. I am logging my food on thedailyplate which I love. I have been tracking my food at what I am seeing is that when I consistantly meet or nearly meet my protein goal of 80gram I lose more weight(duh
), I have days where that is just not possible but I have been making sure on those days before I go to bed I drink a protein bullet. Oh I also found a new drink that I love Fuze slenderize I have tried the cranberry something lol and the tropical punch only 1 carb no sugar and 5 cal per serving. I also found a protein that I really like Designer Whey the orange mango I mix it with Targets lemon rasberry water it is sooo good. I was getting so tired of the chocolate and vanila powders. Well thats it for now I have to get back to work.

Ok it's time
Jun 10, 2008
I guess it is really time for an update. My surgery went great!!! Surgery was on Tues. morning came home Thurs. afternoon. I took a month off from work and everything, it was so nice to spend some time with my boys and not have to worry about going to sleep during the day so I can work at night. I feel like my weight loss is going great. I have had some food issues not any more than what is to be expected, except for PEANUTBUTTER!!!! I will never again touch peanutbutter. I was dumping and vomitting for 2 hours. I am back to work as of June 8 and I feel good except that I am very tired. I am so grateful to have been given this chance to get my life back on track with this surgery.
NEXT
Apr 27, 2008
Today I have my pulmonary clearence and than my pcp on Friday. The last 2 weeks have been crazy, appointments everyday and so I have been busy. Well now that all of my tests are don I think the panic is starting to set in....... I have been so jumpy and jumping all over my family. I feel bad for them but I can't seem to help it I hope this week goes by fast I can't wait to be on the loosers bench .
AAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!
Apr 20, 2008
I just don't understand people!!!!! We get our date for our surgery and than what we have to run around like a chicken with our heads cut off?????? Everytime I turn around someone at some Dr's office tells me that they can't get me in and I an going to have to postpone my surgery!!!! I DON"T THINK SO............ This past week I thought I was going to have to kill someone I went for my Pulmonary function test the machine was broken I have to go an hour away and they ask can you be here in an hour? so ok yes I can. Well I get there at the time they ask and it takes them 45 mins to get me registered!!!! are you kidding me I work for this company this is my job (in another facility) there is no way it should have taken that long. So ok we leave there I have to go to surgeons office (2hours away) to pick up medical leave paperwork. next stop back to the hospital I work at for my ABG did anyone tell you hoe much that hurts
it was 3 days ago and my arm still hurts. Friday I go for my cardiac clearence they do my ekg twice the girl says it doesn't look right.... I say is it me? she says I'm not sure I dropped the machine!!!!! WTF. I was so upset by the time the Dr came in and he says we are going to do and echo and a stress test that i forgot to ask if the ekg was ok. I am so glad that week is over with, I know that all of these tests are important but you would think the medical community would have some compassion for people that need pre-op stuff done since they know it have to be done as close to surgery as possible!!!! Ok I guess I am done bitching, and I am getting off my soap box.
Information Overload
Apr 16, 2008
OK, so I realize that we have to got to the pre op class and I have done a lot of research on Gastric-bypass surgery, have spent a lot of time on here asking questions and reading what every one has to say. There was no new info at the pre op class I have read everything. So WHY do I feel so overwhelmed??? I guess because even though I knew what to expect, having the surgeons nurses go over everything makes it more real?? not sure but the one great thing was I got to meet my new friend. We are having our surgries one day apart and are planning to walk the halls together.
WOO HOOO
Apr 09, 2008
Well I am so excited that i forgot to come here and write....
. I got my date and approval all in the same phone call. Patricia 
(she is an awsome person and great help)from my surgeons office called me to let me know. I was so surprised and excited that I think I missed half of what she was saying. I am going to my pre op class on April 15 and I found out that I am going to get to meet one of my friend that I met here, she is having her surgery the day before me with the same surgeon. I am so ready to do this....

Waiting again
Feb 08, 2008
Ok here I am again. My surgeon's office submitted a letter of reconsideration to my ins compay. It seems to the surgeons office that they didn't like the way my pcp wrote his medical records???
The surgeons office is asking for a reconsideration of the papter work submitted saying that I did what they asked for why punish me because my pcp didn't write his notes to the ins company's standards. I wonder how long this will take???
