I am seeing my revition dr. put off the surgry for many months and tried to lose it on my own. followed and worked with the dietions and of no changed and no goal nothing happened excepted I have gained a bit of weight, trying to get my husband to move out while I file for divorse. I know, I must not allow myself to eat in such cases, but sadly I did. And So I gained a bit amount of 6lbs.

Monday I see him, he will say yes or no to the surgery, willing yes, as it was all set up to have it when I thought I was doing so good I would see if I could continue, Well now he has to apply to the insurance again, and doing so shouldn't take much time as it has been accepted and approved once before. Thank you Lord for I know it will be aproved once again.. Amen.

Sorry to those who don't think the revisiton is the way to go, but I have to make this for myself, and I know how my life, my weight is a struggle and the effect it is having on me. So it is what it is. It will happen, If all goes as planned such as it did the first time.

God bless you all.

I am believing that insurance AGAIN will have no probledff'ms reapproving me for the RNY revision. It will be a great blessing from God about this surgery, so I pray that I see the doc of the 17th, and he will schedule me for the very next week. That will be great, this will keep me from having to wait to lon to it to happen.

Well I must say my good nights, I am making many mistakes. I have to get my beuayty sleep, hahahahah I am much to far from this. There is  to much flaws to catch me up...

Good night and God Bless you all so for being there and taking the same journey.

Hello fellow readers, if any?

I was to have the gastric bypass revision back in Oct. but held off to see if I could lose any on my own with out going under the knife, well  I have been UNSUCCESFUL at my attempt, so am on the attempt on my own, so lets see if I get is this time.

Please Pray for me that this time goes just as fast, well faster then last time. So I get this done, recovered, before my B-day in the end if , thank you so very much, friends

should had had the revition surgery, weight bouncing between 196-202. I would be 30+ lbs  lighter if I had gone throughwithit, now I am unsure I will ever get it What am I to do? Can I do This on my own, like I have b4, or have I ran out of chance on my  own, am I to set ino the bad habbits now to return to usinig the tools I am sure I still have. Temptation by husband and mother, both junk food addict

Keeping is short and sweet, since I DID NOT GO INTO HAVE THE REVISION  I am working to lose it on my own. I lost 10 lbs in 5 months, WOW,  and then gained it back so am back to square one, unsure if I will ever have another chance at the revision, if I do I might take it, this yo yo weight stuff isn't good. So I am trying my best on my own. Walking dog with her stroller due to her having a knee issue and heart issue, so a bit more work out both ways, but on the way home more so for she it sitting in it. Also doing the WII, in competion with the husband, whom I know will kick my butt in some areas and as I will his in others. But we keep it fun, and I am trying to work at keeping myself one the 1000 cals a day that she has put me on, OMG. how can anyone stick to that??? lots of prayer will see me through God is always on my side. Good night everyone. it is almost 4 am here on the west coast of the states, wow, really got into this Site. Well here I come, I am back again, I hope any ways, lol.
Poor quality photos, HUSBAND TOOK THEM, LOL.....

This photo is the bigest I got after my WLS, I was so ashamed of myself, Lord don't EVER alow me to see this weight again. It is only 65 lbs from where I am now. God is good, and I will be ashamed like this ashamed like this again.

I went to my 2 week pre op meeting, to explain what the diet will be, what to expect after surgery, ect. the pre op surgery isn't gong to be to hard for me, been almost doing it for awhile now, just have to add another protein drink, or two to the day.

On my way out, the surgeon schedular called me into the room, and explained that I can't have my surgery the 21st, how bummed I was to hear this, thought I was looking into Dec. But, yes there is a but, I am having it the 16th. YES YES YES, It is further away from Thanksgiving. Hurray. Thank you Lord. Prayers that all goes well and that this is what I am going to need to get back onto track and stay on track? Thanks to the support I am getting, and the sceptics even. What would it be if there wasn't those who don't think it should happen. I am so very blessed with such a wonderful great support team, God, my husband, mother, caregiver Helen, and other caregiver, who ever they get to replace Helen until she gets her knee taken care of. Plus can't leave out my service dog Starr.

God bless you all who have had, and is having, and is working towards having surgery of some kind, May the good Lord Keep you safe and allow it to happen, and allow you to stay on track to keep you from going through what I am.

Good night.

Will be 20, OR 21 days until I go in for my life altering surgery, again, and must be forever. No letting bad behaviors and ways come back into my life, with this surgery, it is all a new start and a new way of life that I will obstain to and with the support of my weight loss/ surgeon  group and team I have pulling, and working with me, I know this one is going to be the one to be the final end to this obesity I have battled over half my life. I do ask for your prayers and pray for you. Pray for those who are seeking the first and second surgery. Work, work real hard once you get it.

Well it has also been a bit of a battle for me to get this done, that is doesn't really seem real. I give God and my person support group, God, my husband Leighton, My mother, My caregiver Helen, and service dog Starr, they have and are there with me through this. Well sadly, Helen won't be, she has an injured knee that has taken her out of work until surgery, and reabiltation. But she is there praying for me, just a call, text away. I pray for her surgery to come fast, so her pain will end soon.

Well time for me to retire to bed, should had long ago. Good night and God bless you all.

I don't know how long I have been blogging on here about needing the revision bariatric surgery. One surgeon in Seattle was a real jerk, said I needed it, but I would just sabatage it, and then I joined the Weight Loss Wellness Plan of Tacoma Wa, and they are working so wonderful with me. they are working close with me, and waited for my insurance to approve. In September 28,2016 just one day before my birthday called and let me know how I was APPROVED for the surgery, so for 2 weeks they will put me on some kind of 2 wks diet to shrink my insides so my sergeon has more room to work inside of me. I will keep you posted the best I can as home life is a little bit of a difficult time, Prayers are so welcomes for everthing. God is at the wheel of my life, in all things.

I went to see a bariatric surgion awhile ago in Seattle Wa  about a revision, and it was discoverd through the testings that my lower stoma has enlarged and how my food isn't remaining or having any restrictions much any more. So unless I eat quite a bit i will not feel full. So I just was wondering if there was any other doctors out there in this area, Tacoma Wa who takes medicaid and medicare. I am on humana gold plus. I just really need a second opion, and no clue where to go. Guess I will have to have a dr referr me. But if anyone knows of any drs out there that I can suggest to my doctor, it helps. Thank you, and prayers are appreciated, as I will need surgery, or a fight on my own to make weight loss happen.

UPDATE=First, I am very sad, on June 15 I had to put my emotional support dog to sleep, she was dying of congested heart failure, she had fought about a year with it, or longer, that I may had not known about, but what I knew of it was a year, a very short year, it went to quickly. But my loneliness helped me to step up and ask myself what if Annie could had given me instructions what would they be, and I felt strongly that it would be to save another animal. So that is what I did. Searching craigslist to for one that was needing a home, with a little to no rehoming fee on account of being low on cash, and to help others out, and not their pocket book, I felt if they really had an issue where they needed to rehome their pet bad enough it would be free or small fee. Well found one, and little female shih Tzu for free. Met her when I went to get her. Oh she was all matted, and stinky, and just in poor sad shape, he had her for two days and said his room mate was allergic to her. Got her home, gave her Annie's flea treatment right off, then pulled hair that was entwined around her bottom teeth off, ewwwy that was nasty, and then went to work on getting the knotted and matted hair shaved off. Poor baby, she had sores under the fur where her mattd hair had done it, or she had done it biting at her fleas, and allergies, yep, just like Annie, she is having severe allergy reactions to things, and food. So her food has been changed, isn't doing it, gave her a medicated bath, helped a little while, but not long. Her ears itch all the time, her eyes and nose like to be a little runny, Not bad. She licks and nibble at her feet and other areas of her body, so she will have to go on the same medication Annie was on, it keeps it calmed down and makes the babies more comfortable and happier cus they aren't always itchy and irritated by their allergies. She starts today. She is a smart girl, guy told me she was abt 4, and she is being trained by me to help keep me calmer when my PTSD gets me worked up, upset, crying and so forth, it will be her job to come to be when called or not and to get on my lap to be there to help remind me to take some breaths and pet her until I am no longer in that emotional state. I know she can do this. Getting her certified is going to be the problem, I am unsure of how to do that here in Washington state, if anyone reading this knows how to get a PTSD service trained dog certified let me know, I will appreciate it, if I can't find this out, then she will always remain my emotional support dog, and I will be unable to take her with me, and there for unable to attend public places with me, and keep me grounded so my PTSD doesn't get the best of me in public, which it has before.

As of Januraruy 23rd 2-23-2016

Starr Has passed her CDC cerificate, and

is also now a member of the AkC, she has papers,

a a number on her also, BLESS HER Heart, she is a service dog

for me. She is such a wonderfu tool for me, she does such a great job for me.

There  is such a blessing to me.

Onto the disappointment if you are still with me.

Went to see a WLS surgeon after getting an upper GI and finding out that my lower stoma has enlarged and food is traveling through my stomach straight into my intestine. He said it isn't dangerous, ok I can completely breath a sigh of relief with that, BUT it is allowing me to eat way more then I should, allowing me to be/feel hungry all the time, and causing allot of constipation between that, and meds I am messed up, or should say plugged up lol.

He refused to do it, said it wouldn't work, or last long. So knowing what insurance I had said I had to go see a dietitian, and I had to tell him no I don't, not unless he was paying for it. I am so hurt, disappointed, and even mad, I thought the stoma meant I had the surgery already in the bag one could say. Thinking about a second opinion,  what do you think? I will have to do some researching to find someone else that will I can see and hope that person will go ahead and do it for me. They also want to do a scope down my throat I believe, and check things out that way, but why if it isn't dangerous or a problem, why the more tests being done? I don't get Dr's some times.

Ok rants and venting is over, just been awhile since I have blogged on here so thought I would update. One thing I can post, weight is stay stable at and around 200lbs, not where I want to be, but not going up. just have to kick my butt in gear and give it my all to loose 20lbs by Jan, I have a wedding dress I have to fit in. I was 180 when my mom and I got it for me, so I am a nasty

20lbs heavier. bad bad bad me. I believe if I just get down and nasty about this 20lbs I can loose it before January before alteration fitting. Stop the goodies and carbs, and start snacking and eating protein more and more. Must get husband on board also, I am a food addict, and if he brings in them bad carbs and sweets, I am gonna eat them also, and he tells me he will do  anything to aid and assist me. So time to put him to the test. God be with us both as we resist sweets and carbs.
