I am so excited, nervous, anxious, emotional and much more! After going back and forth with the surgeon's office and insurance company, I received my call this afternoon. I am set for tomorrow. 5:30 a.m. is my check in time. I will be on my way to a healthy, new me. I can't wait, I just want to scream from the top of a mountain! lol! No mountain where I live in Philly. ha ha ha! Glad I have this place to share my joy. It has been a loooooong journey getting to this point and I will make it worth my while. Nothing about this has been easy but I'm a champ. I can do this!!! God is with me 100%!

10/13/2012 update

I am feeling better everyday. I am amazed at how strong I feel. I guess my tough workouts before surgery did help. I must say the second and third day whipped my butt. I refused to give in. I did my breathing exercises and got up on my own to the bathroom and even walked around with my sister. This is not the easy way out like some people say, nothing about this has been easy for me. It's easier to quit than to keep your eye on the prize. Thank you for all your prayers. I will keep you in mine. Take care and remember with God, everything is possible.

Just got to my home and was excited to be able to look you guys up on a big screen =) It is so cool there are so many people on here ... I was sleeved on October 9th ....last surgery of the day man was I nervous ...good thing the admitting department lady started giving me trouble about the amount they were going to collect to admit me ! Hearing NO in my mind helped me get that xtra bit of courage and get in there on that table !!! My biggest discomforts was the naseua ...I joked later who would of know a big ol' 300 pound girl was so so sensitive !!!! I see that girly elephant trying to poke her tow in the Water =)

SO the Nasea & then allergic reaction to Coedine !! ( OMG ! ) were my biggest battles I say even more so than the pain ...which I can feel going away more and more .....

I just freaked out b4 i went on table I weighed 281.5 and today , Sunday I weigh 268!!!that is insane to me !

well just came home to my dirty dirty house ...oh man is it depressing ! after I left hospital I went to stay at my mom's so the kiddos couldnt jump all over me ....but was it hard to come home from Mommy's house tonight! UGH ! FIre the maid who was here =)
