| WILL COME TRUE |
| I am putting plenty of stars out here for all of us to be able to wish upon...... |

| I am so upset....I got a letter from Dr. Vonrueden's office on saturday |
| telling me that my appt. for 4-30-03 was cancelled. |
| I can't believe it still...it was cancelled because they are going on strike |
| from 4-28-03 until 5-2-03 because of the liability insurance crisis. |
| I have waited for almost 4mths for this appt. and now I don't know what is going to happen. |
| I will keep you's posted after I get to talk to the office and find out. |
| I also go for my consult today at Riddle's sleep lab. They are going to check me out |
| to see if I need a sleep study to determine if I have sleep apnea. |
| So at least my tests are progressing. |
| I am sorry that this journal is mainly about my wls journey, but right now, it is my main focus. |
| My Daughter is going to her friends Junior prom this friday. My sisters all think that it is weird. |
| Her best friend broke up with her boyfriend and didn't have a date, so she asked Lauren to go with her. |
| I hope that this doesn't cause any problems for Lauren at school. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. |

| Well I got a rescheduled appt. for 5-28-03. I'm not real happy, but I guess it beats having to wait until November. So I should be grateful. But i can't help thinking that this is going to throw my surgery date off by several months. And I keep getting bigger by the day. I think I am 340 now. UUGGHH. I never in my worst nightmare thought that i would ever be this heavy or this uncomfortable in my body. I am squished in my body. No room. Hopefully not for too much longer. The appt. I had at the sleep center went well. I am suppossed to have my sleep study on 4-30-03. I figured I won't totally lose out on that day. I was supposed to have my consult with Dr. VonRueden on that day. Okay, I'm going to go. Gotta get the kids in bed. I'll write more later. |

| Well My sister heard back from Beth Brezina, they are going to place us on the surgery list on 4-30-03 (just like we had our appts.), so we don't lose the time. I am happy about that. So I guess things are moving along. I can't wait until my time. I guess that is said more than enough times. I can't wait to get this over with so that I can focus on other things besides my weight and this surgery. Then my site will be more interesting. LOL. I think that after I lose the weight, it will affect my relationship with my boyfriend. If he isn't willing to make a commitment to me then I may have to end things. I don't like being alone, just me and my kids. I need something more committed, and someone who will have the time to spend with me and my kids. Who I feel loves me all the time. Who I can have a future with and travel with. Have fun with. You all get the picture, I'm sure. Okay I'll talk about this more as time goes on. I am working on getting a photo page up. Just need to get more pics loaded on my puter. I can show all of you my weight journey in photos. How heavy and skinny I used to be. Then eventually my new Skinny self. CAN'T Wait! okay gotta go.

| 5-15-03 Hey everyone, I know that it has been awhile since I updated. I am trying to get through this weightloss surgery stuff. If you want to check out my diary at ObesityHelp.com click here I am going to keep journaling there then jump back onto here. And as the surgery becomes less of a focus for me then my page will change as I do. I know I just have 323 days left until surgery. I can't wait to begin my new life. I am so depressed right now, and I know that surgery won't cure my depression. I know that this surgery is on my stomach and not my brain. I am trying to raise my kids and wait for this surgery. It is pretty frustrating!!! uuuuugggghhhhh. I want this so badly, i just don't know what to do!! I can't wait!! It seems like forever. Well I am wasting enough time on the computer (my addiction!), I gotta go and do some house work....uuggghhh. (can ya tell I LOVE housework...lol...NOT!) till later. Lisa |
| 7/30/03 Hey Everyone, I know it looks like i have not been keeping up on my journal, I have been doing more of an almost everyday thing at obesityhelp.com (click on highlighted link above). I just wanted to come here and let you's know that I have been seeing another surgeon. His Name is Dr. Noel Williams at University of Penn Hospital. I had my consult with him back on July 9th, 2003. I am excited. I know that it has been a hard decision to decide between him and Dr. VonRueden at Lankenau. I know they are both very competent surgeons. But I can have my surgery in like sept. or oct. 03, instead of having to wait till 4/04! I go today for my psych eval. and my nutrition class. After the classes today, I have to wait for the psych report to be made, then Dr. Williams office will submit to my insurance company for preapproval. Geez, keep me in your prayers! I can't wait to get past the whole surgery aspect of this journey and start recouperating and using my tool to become healthy and thin. I hope it really comes soon, my body can't handle anymore weight gain. Okay, well I am going to be coming back to my page here more often and working on my site to make it better. More accessible and more sequentially laid out. okay gonna go do some behind the scenes work...lol......I am so glad I have this outlet to use, or life would really be unbearable...lol. later. |
