Well finally got my date. July 15th 2009   Protein shakes are my friend. They are not the most plesent things to drink but are a way for me to have surgery. Please Pray 4 me.

Received my approval letter 6/5/09 and have not stepped off cloud nine since.

I currently am waiting on my appointment with Dr Ahad which is 6/12/09.

If everything works out and the scale is my friend again this week. Dr ahad told me as soon as she had the approval letter and i lost 5 more lbs which i have gottin both taken care of she would give me a surgery date.

I am the most excited woman in the world. I have waited so long and this time worked sooooo hard. I know the work is not over and this is not the quick fix. But now i will finally have the tools I need to make this life change stick for life.

One day when I look back at this Page and these Blogs I want to remember who I am and who I have always been. That is a Strong Powerful Woman who sets her mind on something and never gives up. I am here I am alive and Life will not pass me by I will participate at all cost.

Love Life and Remember No matter what in time things work out. Maybe not the way or by the means we thought but they happen in there own time.

Let start with I started atkins April 23rd 2009. I started after struggling for a yr now to lose weight to have lap band surgery. These blogs kinda give u an insite to who I am and what I struggle with everyday. They go from newest to oldest.

I started atkins last week at 429 lbs and today is monday. yes bad bad gurl i weigh about everyday. this morning I got up to a 423.2 and about passed out. I have not been this thin since 2002 when I was trying a weight loss pill which did not work mind u. Well read on if u want I am going to bed.


*******UPDATE*********   Wow has it really been this long since I have been here. Well been in a program in Springfield for months now. today is March 13th 2009 and I am more then half way to my surgery. have already seen my surgeon. going back on the 23rd to have her submit her insurance approval. Once the insurance gives the OK I will be having my surgery. Dr Ahad says not to worry about insurance she says she will fight for me. Just in case anyone needs to know my doctor AHAD in St Johns hospital Springfield IL is the most awwsome lady. She took hella time with me explained all that was going to happen and has basically held my hand thru all this.





Hi everyone well I get to see the clinic in Springfield on September 10th 2008. I am so hoping they can help me out. I need lots of prayers.

Hi all its me agian here I am it is 5/15/08 and i am 462 not a mirical but something. Alli seems to be working for me. I found a clinic in Springfield IL willing to work with people on medicaid. Bad thing is there is a waiting list and I am now on it. But they said it would be early summer before they could ever get back to me. which is ok cause I have to pay for the phyco visit and the nutritionist. But hey whats 300 dollars it took more then 300 to get me to the size I am today. I do not know if anyone ever even reads this but if someone does I am always open and willing to share my info and knowlage with anyone. phone numbers of doctors clinic what ever i can find and have on hand is up to be givin to anyone in need of the info. huggs and much love April


Wow it really has been a long time since I have been here and I am still alive by surprice. Still no surgery still fat as ever. Am now at 504 lbs. Today is 01/21/08 and I am finally in a long term relationship. But the long term addiction with food is what I battle everyday. Started alli first week in Jan in hopes of not gaining more before I can find a doc who will help me out. The docs tell me alli is like xenical and it was what I was on before and lost some weight. so hopefully I will lose some and not gain any more.


Hi everyone it has been a very long time since I have updated. Today is 7/8/2005. I have not yet found a doc to even be consulted with yet. I am on IDPA and it is hard to find a doc who will take public insurance as a means of payment. I am currently 410 had lost down to 365 with the help of a great doc and xenical. But I moved to IL and xenical is not an approved drug in IL and it took me forever to get Missouri to pay for it. Now I am struggleing with the weight gain AGAIN. I am also getting sicker with every passing day they find something new to tell me I need to take meds for. So hopeing to find a doc and soon before I become a walking advertisement for WALGREENS.. huggs April
