"I believe"
Nov 24, 2007
SO only a few days to go. I would be lying if I said I wasn't stressed, cause for real, I just wish this was over. I have a group of friends that are very special to me, we have been through a lot together, and I posted this to them, I thought I would share it here as well. This really puts my thoughts into perspective.
I am as I said a bit nervous about the procedure. BUT I totally trust in my DR. and more important I trust in GOD, and I know that he will be guiding the surgeon, and keeping his hand of protection on me.
The one thought I keep having is from the Fantasia song... "I Believe"
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
You see I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally, I believe
When you look out in the distance
You see it never was that far
Oh No
Heaven knows your existance
And leads you to be everything you are
Oh
There's a time for every soul to fly
It's in the eyes of every child
It's the hope, the love that saves the world
And, oh, we should never let it go
I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah
That is so how I feel about this. I feel like I am meant to be so much more that I am right now, and for so long I have tried to get help to loose the weight. NOTHING has ever helped. I finally have found that impossible cure, and I need to go for it.
See the way I look at it is this. Obesity is a disease process, no different than cancer or diabetis. If I had those diseases than I would do what ever I had to - to get the cure. Well I have tried the less invasive ways, diet excersise etc. it doesn't work for me. So I am doing what is the only proven cure and yes it is radical but it is neccesary to get healthier. And in a year, when I am 100lbs less I will be so happy that I did this.
I do appreciate your prayers and thoughts.

I always forget to write over here. I have my surgery scheduled for 11- 27-07. Everything went through pretty smooth. I am becoming a bit more concerned about the what if's, but am told that it is fairly normal. I have a lot of appt in the next few weeks.
Working like mad to get all this information done
Sep 09, 2007
This Friday is the 2 year anniversary of my mom passing away. In celebration of her life, I would like to get all my paperwork done and ready to make my appt with DR. Roe. He requires all whole lot of paperwork to be done before he will scheduale the appt. I also have to try to get ahold of the social worker again to do a Psychiatric evaluation. Man a lot to be done this week.
Have I found my DR???
Aug 18, 2007
SO after talking to a couple different DR offices and the ins company. I think I am feeling drawn to DR. Roe. Then this last week I found out that he did surgery on a member of my church. She seemed very content with him.
So this Thursday I am going to his seminar.
