I enjoy fishing, cooking, reading,and sewing. One of my primary concerns is the lack of spiritual growth in our youth.

July 4, 2006. Happy Fourth of July to all. Trying not to eat too many carbs. Had lots of boiled crabs though. More than ready for that surgery date to get here. Thankful for all of your well wishes. I had some minor oral surgery on th 27th of June so I missed the support group meeting, hoping to make it for sure next month. More later.
July 5, 2006. Well there are now 19 days until my new birthday. Wow, am I excited. Trying to prepare myself and my family for the great changes to come. More later!
July 9, 2006 Ha, 15 days until surgery. Still getting things together. Trying different soups. I havent found any chewable vitamins I like better than Viactiv, but that is not calcium citrate. Practicing eating slower. Less and less carbonated beverages. I know they have to go in order for me to reach my goals.
July 18, 2006 Hello, 6 days to go. I had a few discouraging occurences on yesterday. But I press on. Looking foward to a healthy future. I refuse to let the devil steal my joy. See you on the other side soon!
July 20, 2006, 4 days to go and counting. Well the anxiety has set in. Not that the surgery will be problematic or that I have changed my mind. I keep feeling this is all a dream and I am going to wake up and they are going to say "NO Surgery for you, You missed a form, you insurance lied, we changed our minds". Sounds silly but makes me anxious. I keep going over paperwork trying to make sure I have dotted every i and crossed every t. I need to just take some time and pray.
July 23, 2006. Hi, Its surgery eve and all is well. Mass was pretty good this morning. Although Father Case is leaving, his sermon was very good and on point. Well I am looking forward to tomorrow. See yo on the other side.

Hello there. I came home on July 26 (my birthday). I thought postop would have been more problematic but it wasn't. I am blessed in that regard. Frances and Cindee came to see me off to surgery. What angels!! My husband was there from start to finish. My oldest son and his fiance came to see me in ICU at 1am. Of course I was sleeping how many minutes do you get to do that in a hospital. Not very many. Thanks for all the good wishes before and after my surgery. More later!

September 18, 2006 Well I have been MIA for a minute now. Lots has happened and I have been busy. Down about 50lbs from my first surgeons visit. Lost 4 dress sizes somewhere( Im not looking for them either). Having lots of fun. Danced with my daughter in the mother daughter dance at church (liturgical dance)
Having more energy really helps. I hadn't really realized how much I wasn't living. Still prodding along using my tool to the best of my ability. Exercising but not enough, joining the YMCA pretty soon. more later!

10/5/06 Well where have I been? Very busy. Pounds and inches gone forever. Glad to see them leave. Feeling pretty good now. Stuffed from lunch. I don't understand anymore how a kid can eat a whole kids meal. Dang thats a lot of food. (ha ha) can't believe I said that. Ohhh but I did. Everything about my lifestyle has changed. For the better. I feel better, eat better, sleep better, live better. I am truly blessed. Hope your journey is going as well.

Surgeon Info:
Surgeon: Mark G Hausmann
My first impression of him was WOW. He is very handsome. Also very knowledgeable. He was to the point and answer all my questions before they were asked. He gave me the pros and cons on all the procedures even the ones he doesn't do. He offered to find a surgeon for me if I wanted the procedures he doesn't do. Ask to meet my husband and kids. Amazing! His office has a structured aftercare program. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate Dr. H. a 1,000,000. He is an exceptional surgeon and cool under pressure. He almost demands aftercare and has the program there for you. You couldn't be in better hands. His staff is A-#1.
Insurer Info:
American LifeCare., I.W. Local
I am actually blessed to have 2 insurers. One has already ok'd the surgery via phone. Still waiting to hear from the primary insurer. I am not hopeful that they will cover the surgery. I am sure however that God will fix it for me anyway. *** UPDATE= OF course the insurance that cost the most and pays the most has denied the surgery. They say there is a written exculsion, I haven't seen it. Great news, the other insurance, American Lifecare has approved the surgery. It remains to be seen how much they will pay but GOD IS GOOD!
