September 26,2007

Well , I 've never done this before but ok........where do i begin? I tried to have a gastric bypass in 2005, long story short i was denied....... after my friend Hurrican Katrina kindly asked me to move out of Louisiana, i found myself in Texas, well i was able to transfer my job to TX, God allowed me to buy a house, and i have been blessed beyond measure. In December of 2005 i switched my ins co to blue cross blue shield(for federal employees)i never thought again of a bypass, even though the weight was adding up, in January of 2007 while on the phone with a friend she encouraged me to try my new ins co for a lap band, well i did, the very next day i call ed my ins co, and they informed me that as of January 1, 2007 BCBS now paid for the lap-band for federal employees!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!:clap2: I immediatly jumped on the ball, after 4 mos i was finished with test and documents.On september 10th 2007 my md's office called to say, they were forwarding my "stuff" to BCBS, and i should know within 2 weeks,I took a step of faith and informed the nurse that i was going to pray that BCBS would answer her that week.......on Sept 14th 2007 my md's office called!!!!!! I WAS APPROVED!!!!!! PRAISE GOD IN HEAVEN WHO ANSWERS HIS CHILDREN WHEN THEY CALL:clap2: I knew God would answer!!! well iwas scheduled for Sept 25th, then 1 week later i had to be re-scheduled, the doctor had family issues!!!!! what??? iam fat Mr. Doctor... deal with your issues, and let me have my surgery!! but i said okay, God knows best, re-scheduled for the 9th of October.... so iam about 2 weeks away, can't wait to live life as the NEW ME!!!!!!! Height....5Ft 8 In Weight....382 Goal Weight....180

7 hours to go

well my date was moved from the 9th of October to the 8th of October 2007, it's 2 A.M. i can't sleep, too excited or anxious i guess, ive done everyones laundry, folded,ironed, and put away. i did the 2 dishes in the sink, i cleaned like crazy, prepared my son non perishable stuff for his field trip on my 2nd day post op, i even ironed my post op clothes, well nothing left to do, but catch a few zzzz's. I am ready for the new me to emerge, being a single mom for 7 yrs has not kept me down, rubbing 2 pennies together has not kept me down, mortage, car note, kids tuition, baby daddy, work ,and church issues have not kept me down, my own thoughts, concerns, and worries have not kept me down, loosing EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! i owned in Hurricane Katrina has not kept me down, and being overweight has not kept me down, thanks to God i can take control over this issue and conquor this demon called obesity once and for all!!!!!!:whoo:

6 Days to go

Well i have 6 days to go, I have my pre-op appt tomarrow with Dr.Carter in arlington,TX. Today like many others have been boaring.I have so much on my mind, i can't wait to have my surgery done, and start to see the fruits of my labor. Today's Prayer: Lord I pray for your help today, i need you Lord, and i can't do this without you, you are my rock, my strength, my shield, and my fortress,deleverer, strong tower, my very present help in time of need, Lord according to your word "my God shall supply all my needs, according to his riches and glory which are in Christ Jesus"( Phil 4:19). Lord i lay all my burdens down tonight, and i pray, i leave them there for you father, i lay down my issues with my mortage, and pray you father ,take control of this situation, and manifest your glory, Lord i lay down my financial issues, and my lonliness, and pray father for the strength to leave it at the altar, Lord. I surrender all father, all to you do I owe, you have it all in your hands, bless me Lord indeed, and enlarge my territory.I love you Lord, I adore you, I lift your name on high, I magnify your name,glorify your name, and honor your name, in the mighty, matchless name of Jesus....Amen:help:
