About this blog

I just got my time to arrive at the hospital and  I am nervous  and excited  and it doesn't feel real yet. I  have always been the chubby girl that grew into the chunky woman  I  loved food and  to cook  the more calories the better it tasted. My weight took me to 304 lbs  I had a hard time standing  bending over to tie my shoes.  Carrying around all the weight is hard work, it didn't bother me until I went to my daughters school program and I  realized  that I was scared to sit on a chair for fear it wouldn't hold me.  I  dieted  for 10 months and got down to 224 but loosing that fast caught up to me I had a cruel surprise I had started loosing my hair.  I  had lost  so much hair  I went to my doctor and he told me keep doing the same things I was and to incorporate a vitamin. Ya that didn't help I increased my calories and my hair loss stopped but my weight crept up also. Frustrated I was pushing up to  my size 22 jeans again I had went to a seminar  and  after listening to the testimonials  I decided I wanted to be a success story. I have always put everyone in my home/ life first I wanted this for me to be healthy and live longer.  I called  to see if it was an option with  my insurance witch it wasn't covered but they had a program that I could work with they may cover it.   I was back up to 260 lbs  I jumped threw the hoops  I am now down to 214 I still question weather I  should I  keep struggling to drop pound by pound???(Maybe that's the per-surgery nerves)  but then I think back to all the times the weight came back and I feel this is the best help for me to get where I want to be.

I did it!!! I'm sleeved my surgery.

I had my surgery Wednesday I was scheduled for 1:00 pm but patient issues pushed me to 6:00 pm when they finally wheeled me away. I had 5 extra hours of am I really doing this to think about. Sitting outside my operating room listening to my anesthesiologist promise hes my guardian angel. (I really think he was.) It hit me, I am doing this for me 11 months of work no way I'm backing out now so I put on my brave face and with a little liquid brave from my angel I was drifting asleep.  I woke up groggy at 9:00 pm the rest of the night I just wanted sleep. I felt feeling pretty good, my nurses were dolls  and my pain  was totally bearable. I had asked my surgeon if I could leave by Thursday at 1:00 pm  to make it to my daughters surgery. He was willing to let me go if all the tests fell into place....Then I with my per-counted  chickens had an issue Thursday  my drain tube completely filled up with blood, they would empty it and an hour later it would be full again.  So I got an extra day in the hospital I would get sharp pains when I would get up to use the bathroom my doctor was very reassuring just making sure I'm fine and no reason to panic.  Were going to watch it ''he said'' so we did witch brings us to today. Everything I thought I would need in the hospital I didn't need at all. I needed rest and sleep and water. My daughter watched the six blood draws in 24 hours and the countless bags of fluid be emptied, and asked me if I would do it again answer: Hell yes the pain the blood work was minor. I have been home now for 5  hours  in bed and I couldn't resist the scale with my all liquid diet. Day of surgery 214  now 208
