2nd Approval!!!

   HAS IT REALLY BEEN SINCE JANUARY SINCE I HAVE UPDATED MY PAGE......... WELP, I GUESS IT HAS BEEN. THIS ROLLER COASTER RIDE IS FINALLY COMING TO A STOP!!! I'VE GOT MY DATE, I'VE GOT MY DATE!!!!!!!!!  
DEC 16TH 2011 IS THE DAY. TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE HOLIDAY AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT! THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING. ENDLESS DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS AND 80LBS LIGHTER THAN WHEN I STARTED MY JOURNEY FOR A REVISION. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS I HAD RNY -PROXIMAL IN 2005. SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL,  I WAS A TEXT BOOK CASE. ALL WENT WELL UNTIL ABOUT YEAR 5 WHEN I STARTED TO NOTICE WEIGHT REGAIN.  THING'S WERE GOING WELL EATING HABITS WERE A  LILTTLE OFF BUT NOT CRAZY. WENT TO AN MD WHERE I KINDA FELT LIKE I WAS IN A FACTORY. HAD AN UPPER GI THAT WAS AN THE EXTENT OF TESTING. REFERRAL SENT SURGERY DENIED FOR REVISION. THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!!! I WAS BUMMED GOT UP DUSTED M YSELF OFF, CHANGED BACK TO SEEING MY OLD PCP A NEW REFERRAL WAS GIVEN.  WENT TO A FEW CLASSES MET WITH DR.KLEIN AND MADE A PLAN FOR LIFETIME SUCCESS. HAVE BEEN SEEING HIM OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST TWO YEARS FOR FU AND NUMEROUS TEST. COME TO FIND OUT I NOT ONLY HAD ONE POUCH BUT I HAD 2. YES2!!!!!!! AND MY POUCH IS TOO BIG. HE WAS SUPRISED THAT I WAS EVEN ABLE TO LOSE AS MUCH WEIGHT AS I HAD. SO WITH HIS HELP I HAVE LOST THE 80LBS AND NOW WILL UNDERGO SURGERY TO GET RID OF POUCH NUMBER TWO WHICH I HAVE NAMED THE 'COW"..LOL  

   SO NOW IN THE PRESENT  IT SEEMS LIKE MY LIFE IS TURNING INTO A WORLDWIND OF EVENTS TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH. SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND GO ROUND I WILL HAVE TO GO AND DONATE 2PINTS OF BLOOD. I HAVE A CLASS TO ATTEND, PRE-OP VISIT WITH MY MD. LABS TWICE AND 2 MORE APPTS WITH MY SURGEON. TALKING TO ALL KIND OF COORDINATORS, AND SO ON AND SO ON. MY SECOND POUCH WILL BE GONE, STOMACH SIZE REDUCED BACK DOWN, COMPLETE TUMMY TUCK (YEAH BOY) AND BREAST LIFT!  I AM LOOKING AT THIS AS MY MINI VACATION FROM WORK. 6WKS BABY. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO DO SOME TRAVELING..... SHHHH.

   I KNOW THAT THIS TIME AROUND THAT THING'S WIL BE MUCH DIFFERNT. FIRST THIS PROCEDURE WILL BE DONE IN AN OPEN APPROACH DUE TO POSSIBLE ADHESIONS FROM MY PREVIOUS SURGERY. AND SINCE MY MUSCLE WILL BE TIGHTED HE WILL HAVE TO GET IN THERE. AND HE ALSO MAY BE REMOVING MY GALLBLADDER AS WELL. I REALIZE THAT THIS TIME AROUND THAT ALSO THE WEIGHT LOSS WILL BE SLOWER. BUT, SLOW AND STEADY CAN ALSO WIN THE RACE. I AM AS EXCITED AS I WAS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE A SURGEON WHO TOOK THE TIME TO REALLY SEE WHAT I KNEW WAS NOT RIGHT GOING ON IN THE INSIDE OF MY BODY. I WAS NEVER RUSHED INTO ANYTHING FROM MY SURGEON. HE HELPED ME GET BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE I ONCE WAS. HE NEVER PLACED BLAME ON ANYONE, NOT EVEN MY FIRST SURGEON. I HAVE HEARD OTHER PATIENTS SAY THAT HE GOES OFF ON TANGENS FROM TIME TO TIME. I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED ANY OF THAT MYSELF. HE WANT'S THE BEST FOR HIS PATIENTS AND WILL HELP YOU TO HELP YOURSELF GET THERE.

   IT IS JUST SO HARD TO EXPLAIN THE GRATITUDE THAT I HAVE FOR MY SURGEON. I WAS A LIL MAD AT ALL THE TEST THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH AT FIRST. BUT REALIZED ETHAT IT WAS ALL IN MY BEST INTREST. EVERYBODY DOES NOT GET A SECOND CHANCE. I AM JUST GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO . OH YEAH AND MY INSURNACE IS ANTHEM BLUE CROSS IN CASE ANYONE IS WONDERING. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST ON YOUR JOURNEY'S. NEVR GIVE UP ON WHAT'S FOR YOU. WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES ANOTHER ONE WILL SOON OPEN. JUST BE PATIENT! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO INBOX ME. I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT, I WON'T. AT LEAST TODAY. AND I WILL BE BACK SOON TO UPDATE YOU ALL ON THE THING'S THAT I WILL BE GOING THROUGH FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. UNTIL THEN TAKE CARE!
