Sep 04, 2011
I can't belive it. I finally match my drivers licence
My box of skinny clothes has been emptyed, washed and put in the dresser. Whenever it cools off I'll have plenty of long pants to choose from.
So now I am 30 pounds from my goal. I can't belive its so close. I am in a 13 now I wonder what size I will be when I get there. Things that make you go Hmmm...

I am right at 200lbs!!!! Ugh, talk about sweet frustration. I couldn't be happier that I am now down 61 pounds, but I have tried everything short of shaving my head for that last pound off so I would be able to say I weigh under 200 today lol.
Where am I at now in life? I have found that I get to start all over minus one hubby. Could it have been the weight loss, or was it the Army life finally taking its toll after 9 years? It really doesn't matter anymore. I could pick it apart, pros vs. cons all day long.
I have two great kids and a stack of apps to turn in on Monday. But what it comes down to is I stand at the cusp of 40 with my head held high.

Getting there
Apr 27, 2011
Well its been 2 months one week since my surgery.
All I can say is WOW!!! 50 pounds gone for good
I now wear a 16. I have had a blast going through my clothes and trying them on. My energy level has risen by leaps and bounds. My kids are totally happy with this. I go to the park and play with them instead of just watching them.
I don't know about you but
I have the worst gas now. I can only hope that that goes away soon. I wonder if its because I am still healing from the surgery.
I gues I better ask the Doc next time I am there.

So here is where I'm at. I saw my dr. today and found out that I do have asthma. They are going to do a sleep study on me also. The Dr. is sure I have sleep apnea. So I will be talking to my bariatic sugern in the morning. It's been a long road with loads of ups and downs.

Going crazy
Jun 01, 2010
Its official I am going crazy waiting for my insurance No luck today at the tricare office (military insurance). Its a good thing the women I always talk to is understanding.
What I did find out. Tri-care does take between 5-7 days to approve stuff. That totally rocks!! If that's really the case then I should know within the next day maybe 2 (cuz of the holiday). Then I can start bugging Ronda at Dr. Coons office lol. I'm telling ya she is the best!! She has put up with me calling making sure everything is going as quick and as smooth as possible. Bless her heart
. She has had WLS too and knows what it feels like going through the whole process.
As for my sister.... She is just going have to deal with it. If I am on the liquid diet during the wedding there is now way I'm going to go. The end. Don't even bother bugging me about it.
LOL

I don't want to go. Its not because I don't want to see her or any other childhood friend that will be there. All I want to do right now is hide in my house until after the surgery. Which wouldn't be a good idea since I'm still waiting to hear back from my insurance.
I think I'll call them on Tuesday with my fingers crossed and high hopes that I can schedule it for right around the time of the wedding.
OK, OK I know that's kind-of evil. I can't help it. It's the thought of being in a different outfit then the rest of the girls (it doesn't come in my size of course) standing up there at the heaviest I have ever been. It makes my tummy do flip-flops.

I am a army wife
May 23, 2010
I am a army wife. With that said I am also dealing with tricare. This wouldn't really be a problem. My first primary doctor said I needed a revision, my referral to a general doctor on the economy said I needed a revision, my wonderful bariatic Dr. Coon said I needed it also and was willing and more then able to help me. But those who know who the Army is can tell you that Doctors move around all the time. So now I am at a stand still with my forth doctor.
Here's my story dealing with #4 and tricare....
After waiting for my first 2 referals to go through. (that took almost 3 months) I was finnally able to see Dr. Coon. He had hoops that we all have had to jump through. After trying to make my apointments for the EKG ect. ec t. ect. I found myself on a wait list to even see a doctor. Thats where my frustration had set in.
While I was getting my IV's for the scoop Dr. Coon c.ame to see me. I had a plan hoping it would work, and it did!!!!! I asked if there was anyway I could go through him to get EKG-n-stuff done. He pulled out his laptop and made it happen after I had the upper GI done!!! ONE DAY!!!! Can you belive it? I couldn't. I was so happy and hopeful because I didn't have to wait for each and every apointment, until. I had to get the final clearnce from my primary Doctor.
I made it to see her. She was mad that I had done somewhere else. Demanded that she got all the results, which was no problem. She called they faxed it all to her by 9:30 am. I called Dr. Coons office at 4:30 and she had not responded.
So here I sit. Waiting for her to send the fax back saying I need this revision so tricare can give the thumbs up for it. I am just hoping that when I call Dr. Coons office in the morning they will have gotten a fax stating oneway or another.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, I need all the help I can get at this point.
