I am a 28 year old stay at home mom! I had my gastric bypass in September 2003 it was a god send but I was unable to loose the weight I needed to! I only lost 100 pound....I know 100 pounds is great but when your expections are shattered it seems like ONLY!!!! It wasn't enough weight to help with the medical problems and now the weight is just creeping back on! It sucks because I really work hard at not gaining.... I belong to a gym and go when I can, as I am a very busy stay at home mom! I am working on getting my CDL so I can drive a bus! It is great hours for while my kids are in school! So I will have Holidays off with them and also summers! I currently weigh 230 lbs and can't seems to lose any more wieght! I am looking to be around 130 since I am short! I really hope this will work out!
Well I meet with Dr. Overcash on Monday, so we will see how things go! I am nervous and excited in hopes that this will actually work this time! I have read great things about this surgeon and am looking forward to hearing what he has to say about my history! I know that last time I had this surgery, my sergoen was not a bariactic surgeon! He just did it cuz he could!!!!! I had absolutly NO after or before care and the nutritionist I saw were not familliar with how to help me suceed with this surgery! I am looking forward to Dr. Overcash helping me!
October 5, 2006 Well my husband leaves tomorrow! He will be gone till November 22nd! I am hoping that I can focus on getting my approval done and a surgery date scheduled! I hope that when anyone who looks at my profile and sees that I am having a revision done doesn't think that I just screwed up my first surgery! I didn't have a great Dr Like DR. Overcash! I had just moved to an area and my insurance gave me a list and I had to choose my own DR. It made it really hard as I didn't know what to expect! So I just pick one ( he was a good Dr. But had not plan to keep in touch with me after Surgery! ) It was too hard to switch Dr's but I am very lucky to have had an oppertunity to meet Dr. Overcash and hopefully get my surgery scheduled! I believe that this time I will get down to a NORMAL weight that he has choosen for me! I will write again when I know more about a date and such!
December 5th 2005~ Okay so I have had a date for a few weeks now! I chose to have my revision done January 24th! That will be 4 days before my birthday! I am so excited and ready to get this done! I never thought when I did this 3 and a half years ago that I would be doing this agian! But here I am! I am really looking forward to having the tools to make this work for me this time! With Dr. Overcash I believe that it will be a good thing!!!! He has a very different view on this surgery and I am very happy to have been given this chance to become a healthy wife and mother!
It actually was very easy getting the approval! Thy sent it in on the 15th of November which was a Wednesday and I heard on Monday late in the day that I had been approved and I just had to pick the day! Since I will be doing some traveling at the Christmas season I figuered we will go in after I see everyone this year! I am very excited and looking forward to it! YAY!
Well Surgery is next week, strange this time I don't wan to gorge myself! Last time I did! NOT PRETTY! I am relaxed but also nervous! My Question is .......Do I deserve a second chance at losing this weight????? Will I come out of this????? I am afraid I have gotten my hopes up and all will fail at the last moment! Very Scary to feel this way! I really hope I do deserve this!!!!! I deserve to be happy and It is not that I am NOT happy cuz I am, I just want to be Healthy!!!!!!!!! Happy and Healthy!!!!!! I love my kids they are wonderful! I love them and my husband so much! I just wonder if they really know how much! I love you guys! Your my world!
Okay Well I am a ittle over 2 weeks out! I have lost about 19lbs! My weight is acting a bit weird, I should be losing about a pound a day but I have been stuck for like 4 days now! It is weird cuz I am trying to get my protien in and water but I am not able to do all the protien! It might be easier when I can get my protien from actual food! I think I am lactouse intolerant, they say that can happen after surgery! Milk just doesn't set good in my stomach! I made a high protien batch of mashed potatoes and they are good. But not much else is setting right in my liitle tummy! But I do make sure I get my water in! Oh and I walk a mile to a mile and a half just about every day! So I am just taking it day by day to see what happens! I will go to my first support group meeting on Saturday! I am very excited and nervous all at the same time! YAY!
Feb 28th 2007 Ok so I am 5 weeks out today!!!!! Teh only problem I am having right now is that I have not last anything in 2 weeks I have been 215lbs!!!!! What is wrong with me? It is not like I can Cheat!!!! That would make me sick!!!! I am drinking and eat all I can!!!!!!!!!!!! Protein is sorta hard to eat right now! All Protien make me sick and i can't have the bars yet! So everythign I have eaten today has been Protien. I am really afraid what Dr. Overcash is going to say on Monday if I don't loose anything! He scares me and I am glad he does but I have really done everythign I can this time! Any Ideas, I have been at the gym and walking a mile and a half plus helped my husband remulch the front flower beds and did the back yard ones on my own on monday!
March 11,2007 I am almost 7 weeks out today! I saw Dr. Overcash on monday last week. He was not happy with the amount I lost this time. I took a test to measure how many calories I burn a day and stuff and it said i had a fast matabolisum and That I burned 2400 calories a day just by being me!!!! So I was happy with those results and then he calmed down a bit and we decided that I am making muscle! But then on Tuesday I got sick from eating a piece of beef that was WAY TO DRY! Threw up for 7 hour straight! Went to ER and they gave me fluid and neasua meds and sent me home! The next day I was so sick I barley ate or drank! Then felt fine on Thursday and tried to eat!!!! GOT VERY SICK! Started throwing up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN! Called DR Overcash and they said Come in RIGHT NOW! So I drove 2 hours down to Ocala! He admitted me to the hospital, I was so dehydrated!!!! He rehydrated me!!!! Then fed me to make sure things were going down! Everything was better on friday so I got to come home! YAY! I feel so much better and am so greatful to have DR. Overcash! He was my angel!!!!!! I needed someone who understood Gastric bypass to six my problem!!!! I feel great and am doing weel with the weight loss! I have lost 32 pounds to date. I started at 239 and now am 206!!!!! I was 211 on monday when I went to see DR. Overcash on Monday! So I say YAY!!!!!!!
April 13, 2007 OKAY I AM 194.2!!!!!!!! Very excited! I have been losing like crazy and I am sooo very happy! YAY!!!!!!
April 16, 2007 I am now 193! I know I really should not post this everyday! LOL! But i have been so worried that I am not going to make it to the weight that Dr. Overcash wants me to be at by May 3rd! So I hope that I do!
May 4th, 2007! YAY I survived my appointment without any battle wonds! LOL! He was very please with the amount I have lost so far! He was so nice to me yesterday and said that I looked good. I flet good and went in with the thoughts he was not going to be happy with anything that i did and it went the oppisite! YAY! So the weight he went off of was 213 (that was the weight I was when I went in SICK) and I was 189 yestrerday on his scale! ON MY scale at home I was 187! But today I got on my scale and I was 185!!!!!! I was really excited! 2 pound over night! LOL! I feel that I am doing a great Job and I have 55 pounds till I am at my goal! YAY!
June 4th 2007 Well I am safe and sound at my mom house and enjoying it very much! I have lost a few pounds since I have been here! I amnow 173.5 now! I am doing well here since my mom had surgery 2 years ago! It helps to have her with me! I am still missing my husband he is gone but they are on their way back to Port here in the US to do maintance on the boat he is on! YAY but that means I now have to fly there to spend some time with him! But that is okay I get to clean my house! LOL! I will talk to you in a month or so have a great Father's Day and a happy Fourth of July!
June 11, 2007 Ok well my weight didn't stay down that far it actually went up to 174.5! I am pretty unhappy with that but what can you do! I was as low as 172.5 Then the next day back up to 174.5! It was a shocker! I am flying to JAX to see my husband I am so excited but nervous at the same time! Oh well! Talk to you all later! Have a great week!
June 25th, 2007 Okay so I am 168.6 ! YAY! Five months in and 71lbs gone!!!!!! YAY! Only 39lbs to go! YAY I am so excited!
July 18th 2007, Ok so today on my scale I was 165lbs! Sounds good I will take it although I was as low as 164lbs. I hurt my rib and had to be on a antinflamitory with always makes me gain weight! but this time it just didn't let me lose any! GOOD THING! It would be depressing to see the scale go up up and away with that medicine! So I just stayed between 164 and 166 mostly 166! But now that I am off that I seem to be moving in the right direction! My husband is at our home in Florida and I am in Illinois with my family! I will go see Dr. O on the 13th of August, I will have to reschedule my appt that I have for the 2nd! Then my kids start school on the 20th of Aug! YAY! And hopefully I will start my new babysitting job with my oldest's old teacher from last year!!!! I think I could consider her a friend! Since May I have actually lost a few friends due to one of the being VERY mouthy about our husbands work situation! She said it was not directed at my husband but I really think she was trying to make waves between us anyways! So I guess whatever to that right! My husband showed all guys that her husband and my husband worked for the blog that she wrote about them on a public website and then got mad at me for emailing it to him! Go figure! So I lost 2 friends in that whole mess! Oh well right they want to say mean things about my husband and still be friends with me I don't think so! Ok so enough on those idiots!!! LOL! I am hoping to get back to me support group meeting very soon so I will see in a few weeks!!!! YAY! Take care all!

LOL So I was doing my weight goal for this and If I was wanting to be 130lbs I should only be like 163 at my 7 months and I am over 10lbs lower!
