Okay so last monday I woke up in the morning and started helping grandma and sister clean for my grandmas bridge party she was having at her house that afternoon..I had woke up with stomach pain but just figured I was hungry..I made the mistake of eating a hotdog..The pain kept getting worse by the minute and I was getting nauseous. I called my mom and told her that she might have to take me to the doctor. I've straid as far as I can of hospitals for a couple years an this pain just couldnt go on so we made an appointment in Lincoln with my doctor Dr.Manning that day. I had to have mom pull over so I could yak my brains out on the side of the road at an old gas station. I was in so much pain I couldnt sit up or stand up straight, I couldnt sit still I felt like someone was stabbing me and pulling my guts apart right below my sternum. We got to the doc and they got me in..I told them the pain I was going through and all they did was give me a pain pill prescription for Darvacet and scheduled me for a ultrasound the next morning. My mom and I debated on staying in Lincoln overnight to save the trip and gas (my dr is in lincoln nebraska which is 37 miles away) ..after getting sick again at the doctors office, we left..but I was in to much pain to even ride in the car. ( my mom drives a ford expedition) and when it hits bumps you can feel almost everyone of them. My mom decided just to rush me to the ER and there they admitted me into the ER and we were there for 6 hours, they took my blood, and ultrasound. They couldnt see anything on the ultrasound but my white blood count was 21,000 which is 11,000 over the normal level which is 10,000..so they knew I had some sort of infection. They admitted me into the hospital and took my blood 4 times that night, I didnt get any sleep. (i will continue this later, my sister is here to pick me up )

So I went to the seminar last night and it was pretty much the same as the first one. Except we talked to the surgeon that does the bariatric surgeries in Lincoln Nebraska..he said he's never operated on a teen nor would touch them until they turned 19 1/2..my mom started getting frustrated but I told her "he wasnt the only surgeon in america"..yea I was dissapointed but yea, it's not the end of the world. Mom is going to talk to the the insurance company and see if I would be able to be covered and what not and if they say yeah, then I'm going to try and set up a consultation appointment with Wanda Kaniewski from Lenexa, KS. But I dont know what else to say as for now..will most likely post later! CYA.

The Seminar is tonight...Me and mom are driving the 37 miles to get there. (gas prices are booooo!!! so expensive lately..I had a dream last night that they were only a $1.95!) I WISH! But anyways, I hope there's surgeons or doctors there this time around..last time there wasn't and you had to wait for the surgeons secretary to call you..and I dont know for sure if I got a call. I just wana get to the next step in my journey right now I'm not even realy past the first..give meee somethingggg, I'm tired of waiting for the step forward!!! I will post more later when I get back. It's not til 7pm..it's only 1:34 right now..I'm gettin anxious but I know I need to chill. Okay well post more later...

Okay so a little more current information, I am going to another weight loss surgery seminar on the 10th of May. I will update more information on that when I get back. Will post more later...

okay so now its later..I'm kinda excited about the seminar. I've been to one before..last  year like on June 6th 2006 I think..I missed the call from the hospital and didnt know whether to call or not..So here I am again. I'm not going to let my fear of rejection get the best of me. I have a right to be happy on earth just as well as everyone else!  I haven't told anyone lately that I am trying to get this..my mom and sister know. But I think its just better for me to keep my thoughts and feelings about it here.  Once I find out how to get pictures on here  I will get them. I guess I will try that now.. TTYL C'YA!

 So it's been forever..I just needed a break from everything. Everytime I get close to something I back out and just run from it. I cant run from being "Fat" anymore..Ive realised theres more then me just being fat thats hurting me..Im unhealthy..and also I'm on the verge of insanity..My biggest dream is to lose weight an lead a better life for myself..I'm going to goto another seminar coming up on the 10th of may in lincoln..I've decided to learn towards lap-band because theres less health risks and if things didnt work out i could always get it removed. I also read that lapband is healthier because it helps you lose weight SLOWER rather then faster which is better for your health and also that your skin has more chance of gaining back its elasticity and not being as saggy as it may be with RNY. I turn 18 on the 23rd of this month..being approved for surgery around then would be a great present but I might just be expecting to much to soon. I hope everyone is doing well and is hanging in there. Take care everyone! I will post again soon, sorry its been so long!!!!!!!

 

 

I am/was a very a very outgoing child when I was growing up. Now at 16 years of age, my weight has taken control of me. Trying about a 1,000 ( yes, im pushing the number a bit, hehe) diets, they just dont seem to work for me. I always gain the weight back, or I just feel hopeless and give up. Alot of the time I'm overcome by hunger, I feel like I'm starving because I'm not use to my regular eating habits (did i mention hunger pains HURT!?) I've noticed my weight is making me very depressed, I've had my bits with cutting but never have had professional help with it. I am normally a happy person, I love to have fun and be with my friends. I want to be healthy. I can barely walk half a block without getting out of breath and tired. I am 5 foot 3 inches tall and I'm guessing around 340 to 345 lbs....Maybe more, It's been forever since I've actualy got the guts to step onto a scale. My mom has brought up surgery to me. And now I'm starting to think about it as well. I'd like to learn more about it, and what are the 1st steps I need to take into trying to be approved for it. I hope to meet people on here no matter who it is.  :-)

I left the boards for a while, thinking I'd try again on loseing weight with diet and excercise. I had no luck. The past couple months I started thinking of surgery again and I'll be 17 coming May 23rd, I thought maybe I'd have a better chance. I am completely serious about it this time, I even smoked my last cigarette yesterday. I am going to call later today (Friday) and set up and appointment. I have a job interview May 1st to work as a Developmental Technician at the local State Developmental Center. I've been waiting for an interview and I would love that job! I don't see anything holding me back from getting it.  But I don't know much more to write now.
