3-11-05
I GOT MY A CALL TODAY I GO FOR MY CONSULTATION ON APRIL 1, 2005 GOD I AM SO HAPPY
4-1-05
I WENT TO MY CONSULTATION TODAY AND EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL UNTIL DR.FIELDS WAS EXAMINING ME AND SHE ASKED ABOUT MY SCARS ON MY STOMACH. WELL IN 2000 I HAD A HERNIA REPAIR(VENETRAL) AND THE SURGEON PUT THIS THING CALLED A MESH OVER THE REPAIR, WELL IT SEEMS THAT DR.DUNCAN HAS HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH DOING THE SURGERY ON PATIENTS THAT HAVE HAD THAT REPAIR AND HAVE A MESH BECAUSE IT'S TOO HARD TO CUT THROUGH IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WELL I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS JUST CRASHING BEFORE MY EYES. I STARTED CRYING SO HARD YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEY TOLD ME I COULDN'T HAVE THE SURGERY ALL TOGETHER. SO THIS IS THE THING HE REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER SURGEON DR.C BURROWES HE SAID THAT HE WOULD DO MY SURGERY BUT IT CAN'T BE DONE LAPAROSCOPIC I HAVE TO HAVE THE OPEN RNY NOW. I WAS SO DONE BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIE AND GOD IS ABLE I HAVE SO MUCH FAITH THAT GOD WILL GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION AND I'M CLAIMING THIS AND I KNOW IT'S WORTH IT. SO PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS AND I'LL BE UPDATING SOON... OH BEFORE I FORGET I CALLED MY PCP AND HE DID ME ANOTHER REFERRAL TO DR.BURROWES AND IT'S FOR APRIL 14 AND I AM STILL MOVING ON IN MY PROGRESS

WELL EVERYBODY HERE I AM 7 DAYS AWAY, AND I AM READY. I HAVE A APPOINTMENT TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT 12:30 WITH DR. BURROWES FOR MY PRE-OP AND TO MEET THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST. LET ME FIRST TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF FRIDAY TO MONDAY. WHEN THEY CALLED TO DO MY SCHEDULING MONICA AT DR.BURROWES OFFICE SAID THERE WERE A FEW THINGS THAT DR.CARTERS OFFICE HAD NOT FAXED OVER. SO I CALLED DR.CARTES OFFICE AND TALKED TO TWILA (KEEP IN MIND SHE HAS BEEN HELPING ME WITH EVERYTHING UP UNTIL THIS POINT). I TOLD TWILA THERE WERE SOMETHINGS I NEED HER TO FAX TO DR.BURROWES AND SHE INSTANTLY GOT A ATTITUDE. "I'M TRIED OF FAXING THIS STUFF TO THEM , I ALREADY THIS THIS ONE TIME BEFORE AND I'M NOT GONNA DO IT AGAIN. " IF THEY DON'T RECIEVE IT BY THE 2ND THEN YOU ARE JUST GONNA HAVE TO COME PICK THIS STUFF UP". I WAS LIKE WHAT THE F#$K IS HER PROBLEM? I SAID TO HER LADY I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I DIDN'T LIE DOWN WITH YOU LAST NIGHT NOR DID I WAKE UP WITH YOU THIS MORNING AND I DON'T DESERVE ALL THIS ATTITUDE I'M GETTING. LOOK I KNOW THEY HAVE A VERY STRESSFUL JOB AND THEY SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR ALL THEY DO THATS WHY I TELL THEM THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE MY DOCTORS AND THEIR STAFF BUT THAT'S NOT EXCUSE FOR THAT. SO I WAS TOO PISSED THEN, I ALMOST STARTED CRYING. WELL TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE. A WONDERFUL LITTLE GOD-SENT GIFT NAMED MELISSA. SHE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH HELPING ME AND SHE WENT BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING I NEED GOT OVER TO DR. BURROWES. THEN I FOUND OUT TWILA DIDN'T SCHEDULE MY ECHO AND I HAD TO HAVE IT DONE BEFORE I WENT TO SEE THE DR. ON WEDNESDAY. SO YESTERDAY I WENT AND DID MY ECHO A WONDERFUL TECH DID THAT AND I TOLD EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPEN AND HOW THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR IT TO BE THERE. SO GUESS WHAT SHE DID AND SHE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO OUT HER WAY TO DO THIS. AFTER SHE DID MY ECHO SHE TOOK IT TO LET THE DOCTOR READ IT AND TRANSLATE THEN SHE WALK MY PAPER WORK DOWN TO DR.CARTERS OFFICED TO MELISSA!!!! MELISSA CALLED ME NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES AFTER I HAD LEFT THE OFFICE AND TOLD ME SHE WAS FAXING MY STUFF TO DR.BURROWES RIGHT THEN. I WAS IN THE TRAIN STATION DOING MY SHOUT DANCE, THANK YOU JESUS!!! SO I AM SO READY TO DO THIS. I WILL BE BACK TOMORROW TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY VISIT WITH THE GREAT DOCTOR..........GOD BLESS
11-02-05

I HAD TO GET MY ABG'S DONE TODAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO IT WHEN I HAD MY PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST DONE BUT THEY DIDN'T SO I DID THAT TEST TODAY AND THAT SH&* HURT TOO WELL IT WASN'T TOO BAD IT WAS JUST THAT MY ARTERIES ARE SMALL AS WELL AS MY VEINS SO THEY HAD A HARD TIME FINDING ONE TO GET A GOOD STICK. THEY HAD ME RUNNING ALL OVER ATLANTA MEDICAL CENTER. THEN I TALKED TO THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST HE WAS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT ABOUT MY MEDS AND PAIN.BUT ALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF TODAY SO I'M READY FOR THE BIG DAY. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT EVERYONE HAS SHOWN ME. I WANT TO THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH AND PATIENCE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND GETTING TO WHERE I AM.

I'M HOPING MY MINITURE PLATEAU HAS BEEN BROKEN. BUT BESIDES THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PLEASANT, I'M EATING HEALTHY, EXCERCISING, AND LOVING THE SHOPPING.THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IS THE FACT THAT I WANTED TO BE HEALTHY AND ACTIVE FOR MY FAMILY AND I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT GOD ALLOWED ME THIS OPPORTUNITY. ANOTHER THING WHEN I WAS A SIZE 32 ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT IS BEING A SIZE 16 AND GUESS WHAT I'M REALLY LOVING THIS 16 YALL! LOL!!! UNTIL NEXT TIME DON'T FORGET TO....

HELLO MY FAMILY I'M STOPPING IN FOR MY MONTHLY UPDATE. I NEED TO ADD SOME PICTURES ON MY PROFILE SO YOU ALL CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY LAST PICTURE OF 315 AND THE RECENT ONES OF ME AT 235. THATS RIGHT I'M MOVING AGAIN, I FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS AND WASN'T DOING THAT I NEEDED TO BE DOING.I WAS EATING TOO MANY CARBS FOR ONE WHICH WAS CAUSING ME TO MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH GETTING MY PROTEIN IN ALSO. WHAT I DID WAS TOOK IT BACK TO THE BEGINNING LIKE WHEN I FIRST HAD THE SURGERY AND EVERYTHING STARTED TO COME OFF AGAIN. I'M VERY PLEASED WITH WHERE THINGS ARE AND HOW I'M FEELING AND LOOKING.AND THE HATERS ARE STILL WATCHING ME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY JUST WHAT DID I DO. BUT IT AINT NOBODIES BUSINESS BUT WHO I DECIDE I WANT TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH. AS LONG AS I AM HAPPY FIRST AND MY HUSBAND ,CHILDREN, AND FAMILY ARE THERE SUPPORTING ME I'M GOOD. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN MY OUTLOOK AND MY ATTITUDE NOW TOO THAT I AND OTHERS HAVE NOTICED.I DON'T ALLOW NEGATIVITY IN MY LIFE AT ALL. WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME WHATS "WRONG" I TELL TELL HOW ABOUT ASKING ME WHATS "RIGHT" IN MY LIFE. AND I DO THE SAME I DON'T ASK WHATS WRONG BECAUSE I DON'T NEED THAT SPIRIT TO COME OFF ON ME. BUT ANYWAY ENOUGH OF THAT UNTIL NEXT TIME DON'T FORGET TO.....
