July 12, 2000 Today was my first appointment with my Baricatric Surgeon, Dr. Artuso, at Westchester Medical Center. I tried to reach these doctors for a good 2 weeks before I even got a call back, but it's worth the wait! My mom decided to go with me, as well as my daughter. They took my weight, and height, and gave me a small examination. Dr. Artuso said I was a good candidate for the laporscopy surgery. (the lap isn't an open surgery, they make small insisions using a scope) I want the lap anyway, so I was really happy about that. Dr. Artuso went on to explain to me the process,and how it works. He even drew me a picture of what my new stomach would look like. He told me what I would be able to eat, and not eat. I wasn't aware that I had to go to 6 other examinations in order to have the surgery until the doctor told me. Collen (the doctors assistant) told me that she is going to mail me out a list of doctors and prescriptions. I needed to make appointments with all 6, then after that make another appointment with Dr.Artuso for a follow up. July 30, 2000 Hi again. I am still waiting for the paperwork from the doctors office, so I havent gotten anything scheduled as of yet. Besides that nothing major going on right now with that. My daughter turns 2 tomorrow. I cant believe it, it seems like yesterday she was just being born. I will post more as I know more. August 15, 2000 Hello, I finally got my paperwork WOO HOO! Collen had sent them to the wrong address! O'well at least I got them, and thats what matters. Now I am ready tp make the most major change in my life! August 25, 2000 Hey its me again! LOL, who else is it going to be. SO anyway. I made my first 3 appointments today. They are for September 21st. I can only do a few at a time since I have to take off days of work, and come in late or leave early. I have my Cardiologist, Psychological, and the Pulmonary Appointment. It is going to be a very busy day, wish me luck! :) September 20, 2000 Hello everyone, its been a while since my last post, but I havent had much going on. Tomorrow I have my 3 doctors appointments. I am little nervous about the Psych Exam. I wonder what types of questions will be asked, and how in one hour she will determine that I am able to have this surgery. My appointment for this exam is with a case worker named Olga Rivera from Westchester Medical Center. I couldn't imagine my doctor telling me that the Psych Exam came back irregular! Imagine that one! So lets see how it goes tomorrow. September 21, 2000 Hello all, (if anyone is reading this, LOL) Well today was a very busy day. I had all 3 of appointments today. (I recommend not doing more than 3 its alot) I had the Psych. Exam. I assume I am normal, but is anyone really LOL! The case worker had asked me some basic math question, like count down from 100 but multiples of 7's. She also asked meto remember 3 words, (ball, pen, computer) and that later she would ask me what they were to see if I remembered them. ( I did by the way, I was so nervous I thought I would forget them) UMM... let me see I was also asked who the president was, the current date, and if I heard any strange voices. I also had the Pulmonary testing done, to see how much my lungs can handle. Boy O Boy this was some breathing test! They put you in this air tight machine, and make you breath in then blow out real fast till you can't push anymore. I felt like I was going to explode. I do think it went all ok. The Tech told me I was in good condition, I felt like telling him yeah tell me that when I am going up 5 flgihts of stairs and have to stop in between to catch my breath. I was there for a good 2 hours of testing and exams. Finally came my last appt, with the Cardiologist. Dr. Monsom was very nice, he is part of the cardio-group over at Westchester Medical Center. He first took me into his office to ask me my medical history, and then talk to me about the EKG I was about to have. Since I was on the diet pill Redux,he wants me to have an Echocardiogram, and a Stess test. He asked me my medical problems as well. I told him of the problems I have with my feet and walking really long distances. I am seeing a podiatist who has recommended surgery,since the foot orthodics aren't working. My bariactric surgeon told me to wait seeing that the problem is from my weight. I also have some lower back problems that comes out during long walks as well, and other times. Anyway I was babbling. After all this, he took me into have the EKG done. The Nurse, and Dr.Monsem was there, he read the EKG and told me tha everything seemed fine. I was happy about that, but I still had to go to the Stress test! So on my way out of the doctors office, I made yet one more appointment, this time the Stress test. September 29, 2000 Well hello again, today I had the Ultra Sound of my gallbladder, at Westchester Medical Center. Well that was a fun feeling. They press so hard on your stomach area to make sure they are able to see all of your gallbadder, and see it well enough to make sure there is nothing wrong with it. If anyone has to have this done, I do suggest having it real early in the morning since you cant eat 8 hours before it. This way you arent hungry all day or anything like that, well in 6 days I go for my stress test, I will post after it! October 5, 2000 Oh my goodness, I hope not everyone has to go thru a Stress test. I also had my nutrional consult today. That was a breeze, at 8AM in the morning. She just told me what I can expect to eat after the surgery and how much my stomach is going to be able to tolerate. She pulled out some plastic fruit to show me which fruit is good, and which aren't. So after that I had some free time, to wait for my 10:30 stress test! Back to my car I went, to read a book, because I had a good hour to waste. When the time finally came, I went in for my Echo Caridogram. So there I was sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office at Westchester Medical Center, and all of these elderly people are staring at me giving me funny looks. I was just waiting for someone to ask me what I was doing there. They couldn't figure out why someone so young was sitting there waiting for a stress test. They all just kept on givng me those funny looks, and wondering if I was waitinf for someone perhaps. NOT, I was there for myself! So when the nurse calls me all their questions were answered. She takes me to a room filled with all these hear monitors, and machines. She was doing the Echocardiogram part of the test. It's like a sonogram of your heart. It's now 11:30, and my stress test is to begin. They have to give me an IV to get the radioactive die solution started so when I have x-rays they can see if theres any kind of blockage. To make a really long day short, I had 2 chest x-rays, and one tread mill test. I had to walk the treadmill until my heart was up to meet my age requirement. Finally around 3PM I WAS DONE! YIPPIE! WOO HOO! I can't tell you ho excited I was to leave there. I was poked and proded at all day long, but at least it was for a good cause! October 8, 2000 I have one appt. left and its the Endocrine doctor. This shouldnt be that hard to handle. Well at least it's near my job in NYC! Its one stop on the Number 6 train, thank god. If I had to take off another day I think my supervisor George would have killed me. I just wanted to take a second and tell George thanks, so thanks George for being so understanind through out all of this so far! October 12, 2000 Well today was it! I saw the Endocrine doctor on the 8th, and today I saw my surgeon. The Endocrine doctor was easy. He took some blood work and that was it really. So I also had my follow-up with my surgeon. He has all my tests back. He said there were a few things my weight was affecting but nothing major, thank god! My cholesteral was high, but he says it should come down after surgery. Well I felt better since all the results came back OK. I just don't know how much longer my health will stay this good. In my family theres heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes. Theres a skinny girl inside of me dying to come out. I remember growing up all the kids in school making fun of my weight. I used to have to go to the "Huskey" section of Sears to buy clothes. I can remember one time in the 6th grade, there were these brand of pants that came out "sweetors" (sp) and I wanted them so bad. But ofcourse as we all know the Huskey section didnt carry those for me. I wanted them so bad everyone had them, and when everyone else has something you have to have it yourself as well all know this school theory. I got over it anyhow! I was always the shy girl, until about the 9th grade. I came out of my shell per say. I always hid behind my weight. I had turned into the fat, funny girl. I have always had a great sence of humor, and personality.to get me by. I used to just hate, and still do hearing and I am sure all the heavy people can inderstand this, "oh you have such a pretty face" Please thats like telling me, "man if you lost weight you would be so pretty" Anyway I strayed from my topic, sorry! October 20, 2000 Whats up all! Now I have to wait for a surgery date. My boss (not George) informed me that they really can't afford to have me out at the end of this year so I have to make a 2001 surgery date. So I told Collen that I have to do it the first 2 weeks of February. Colleen is now gathering all my information and making my pre-certification for my insurance co. Guardian. he tells me she has never had a denial so that made me feel better. November 15, 2000 I just thought I would drop a few lines today . Nothing major going on, Collen (at Dr. Artuso's office) told me that Nov is to early to schedule for a Feb. surgery. I am just hangin out working getting ready for the holidays! December 15, 2000 Well today was my first day of having bad news! My job just informed me that they are switching insurance companies, and mine Guardian won't be an option. Well great right. Yeah thats what I thought. So I talked to our new insurance rep, she told me to go with Blue Cross Blue Shield. That since they are a PPO they are more flexible. So I picked them, lets see what happends. I could have had my surgery done this month, but since I was told to wait from my job, this new insurance better cover it or we are going to be fighting. LOL January 05, 2001 HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well I have a date for my surgery its February 15, 2001. I spoke to Colleen, and gave her my new insurance information. She is gathering everything and is going to send it out to BCBS for approval. I called BCBS, and they told me I need a few things to go into my pre-cert. I need my file from my PCP, I also need some kind of proof that I was on other diets. So now I have to get all this stuff and send it over to Colleen. January 15, 2001 Well I am still trying to get my medical records from my old PCP. They are giving me a hard time, they are too busy so they say. My records are 2 sheets, she told me. Ihave been calling and calling, but no fax yet. I will keep everyone posted. January 23, 2001 OK, get this! I called BCBS again. If BCBS says no my job has the right to say yes, since my job is self-insured. Colleen told me this was a good thing. I am so hoping so. I still havent gotten my medical records from my PCP. The secretary there wasn't the nicest, and if you know me I let my attitude get the best of me sometimes, so I am not calling just yet. Other than that not to much happening. My job is preparing for me to leave, and I am preparing myself. I need to make sure my family can watch my daughter and so forth. I take her everywhere I go, I am trying to figure out how I am not going to handle being with her for 4 whole days while I am in the hospital...:( January 26, 2001 Hello again, Well today is friday thank god! I have to make one more call to my PCP, I still haven't gotten copies of my medical records. Without these copies Colleen can't send in for my approval. I am sure all is going to be okay. It just has to be, I am not prepared for the heartbreak. I will then have to appeal to my insurance company. So I will keep everyone posted! Hope everyone has a good weekend! January 31, 2001 Whats up all? I got some not so good news today. Colleen called me on monday (from my doctors office). She told me that the assistant surgeon is not going to be available on the original surgery date that I have of 2/15/01. NICE RIGHT! I was soooooo pissed. So I have to call her tomorrow to find out if indeed it is going to change, and if so for when. So I will keep everyone posted, and thanks for dropping by. I am going to have my sisters update this site while I am in the hospital to let everyone one know how it went. I am going to also have one of them take pictures of the whole event and post them. February 9, 2001 WELL I JUST THOUGHT THAT I WOULD LET EVERYONE KNOW! I FINALLY GOT APPROVED TODAY! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! I AM ALL READY NOW. MY INSURANCE APPROVED ME IN 5 HOURS. WITH THE THANKS OF THE HELP OF ONE PERSON AT HUMAN RESOURCES FROM MY JOB, I GOT A QUICK APPROVAL. I AM GOING TO CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE!!! I AM NOW EXCITED AND SCARED AT THE SAME TIME! SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE THE APPROVAL. ITS WONDERFUL. THANKS TO EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS HELPED ME GET THIS FAR. I WILL POST AGAIN, MAYBE AFTER SURGERY......SEE YA ON THE OTHER SIDE February 23,2001 Well hello everyone, I made it. It been a while since my last post but i wanted everyone to know that I was OK. I had the LAP done last week the 15th. I was sore for a while but this week has been alot better. I have 5 small insisions on my stomach and 1 for the drain. I was in surgery for 8.5hrs, at WESTCHESTER MEDICAL. opps I have to run I will post more...sorry February 25, 2001 HELLO THERE, WELL TODAY I AM FEELING MUCH BETTER. I still have to tell everyone how my surgery went, sorry for the quick post the other day. OK , well I went into the hospital about 6:30am, for surgery on the 15th. I was upstairs about 9am, since well you know they are slow. They took me into for anethsia, and I was knocked out. When I woke up it was 5:45PM, and everyone was yelling at me to wake up. I was out for about 8.5hrs, I guess thats why they were yelling at me to wake up. The anethisioloigist (sp) was yelling "c'mon Melinda lift your head up like I said" I was like yeah sure no problem. I guess I did it cuz they left me alone. I dont remember much that night, only feeling alot of pain, and the morephine was going on every 10 minutes when I clicked the button. At first I was clicking that button every few minutes, but soon you heard the noise that meant it was going to come down the IV. Oh speaking of IV let me tell ya that was a whole another story. I had such problems with this hospital and I want to say it loud, WESTCHESTER MEDICAL THEIR PAC UNIT STINKS! The nurses had no time for you. On friday after surgery they took me down to x-ray to have this test to see if there were any leaks inside. Well since my lungs were so messed up from being under so long, and my tonsils were swollen this test was hard. They gave me some nasty clear stuff to drink mind you this is the first time I have tried to have anything since surgery it was like 9am the next day. So ofcourse one and two swollow it came right up, and so did some blood. So I didnt get to pass this test. They took me back to recovery where I was to have this test done again at 1:30pm. OK come 1:30pm everyone was telling me I can do it. We tried again. I drank a little bit this time, thank god I was just praying this gets done so I can move on into my own room at this wonderful hospital (yeah right). Well I did it I passed the test. It was so gross, I still did vomit, cuz they want you to drink this 8 oz cup of stuff when your stomach isnt even used to drinking 3 oz yet. Well back to recovery to wait for my room. I had to wait all the way until 10:30pm that nite to get me a room. At about 6ish pm my chest got really tight,and I felt I coulndt breath that well. I asked my nurse to help, because I was sweating so bad that it was dripping off my face. Well she said she was too busy right now. So 20 minutes passes, and I couldnt take it my chest was so heavy and tight, and I coulndt even talk that great! I finally got to the nurse next to me and called her, as soon as she saw how bad I looked she came right over. I told her I couldnt breath, and as soon as I did that I vomited so much flem it was gross. So she cleaned me up, stood me up and gave me a basin to wash myself. This was Friday and no one had cleaned me up till then, mind you I vomited 2 times prior. Well as I got my room YIPPIE! I told the nurse my arm felt really heavy and swollen. She tells me no its ok. SO about 2hrs later upstairs in my room, I feel my arm is wet. My IV was leaking, I knew something was funny. So I called one of the nurses to come take it out. This was gross. My arm was so messed up, I have pics of it I will post them. On this same arm they tried to get another IV but couldn;t so this left my wrist full of black and blue marks. I have pics of this also. So the next fun part was the nurses trying to find another vein. It took them 3 tries but nothing, they had to call in someone else to do it. Thank god she found it in 2 tries. So this made me only have 3 more bruises. Well to make a long story short. My mom had to stay with me my last 2 nights in the hospital, she was afraid these nurses werent all with it, since no one was helping me with my tight chest problem. My mom had to wash me, help me get the flem up and everything. I dont know what I would have done if my mom wasnt there. I went home on Sunday the 18th, thank god. I begged the doctors to get me up and let me walk around. I got up and started to walk on saturday. I was dying to get outta that hospital. I am home now,and feeling so much better. I am drinking 90cc's of liquid. I must admit I am not hungry,but I am so used to just eating when I am bored that I have to work on that. Thats a problem that I have. I am taking my vitamin, and drinking my crystal light. I go to the doctor on the 28th my first post-op visit. I will keep everyone posted, thanks!!! March 5, 2001 Hi this is Suzie, Melinda's sister, updating her site for her. As of today, Melinda has lost 18 pounds! She is doing great! She is feeling alot better. She had a little problem with an allergic reaciton to steri-strips. These are the little strips that they use to cover the incisions. What they did was they covered the incision, but didn't have any gauze under the tape. So basically think of it this way, its like putting straight tape on a cut you have and leaving it there and it just gets infected! I guess the hospital doesn't believe in band-aids or gauze for that matter...anyway....sorry I got a little upset, the hospital ticked me off too!! Well, Melinda is now back at her own home. She stayed with us for two weeks and we took care of her and her daughter, my wonderful and precious niece MAYA! I just got off the phone with her and she is feeling good. She goes back to work in like two weeks. She will be getting alot of exercise when she returns to work, since she will have to walk 10 blocks to the train station and 10 blocks when she comes home! So this will be good for her. We miss having her with us so that we can really make sure she is okay...but we will be going down to visit her as well as bringing her "UP NORTH" for a few visits! Honestly, she looks great, considering what she went through at the hospital, she has come along way in a short time. I know she is determined to really work hard to make this work! Keep checking back as we continue to update the site. We have to take more pics of her now and as she progresses! March 13, 2001 Hey there everyone, today is my first day back at work! YIPPIE, I had to get out of the house finally. I started walking a little this weekend, I walked a mile each day. We turned it into a family thing we all went. Now that I am working again I also get the exercise of walking 9 blocks to and from the train station. So I will let everyone know how today went! Thanks everyone, and especially to my LOVING FAMILY! March 16, 2001 OK, my first day back I was sooo tired. I wasn't getting in any kind of protein and that left me exhausted. I made it though! I have now been drinking ensure for some protein and nutrients. It's been working thank god. I feel alot better now that I am drinking it! I would advise this to everyone. Umm... lets see I went to the doctor yesterday I am down about 30lbs! YIPPIE! So for people out there that want this surgery and are a little skeptical about it dont be it does work! As for everything else, now I am just going to work and doing my thing. I am now allowed to eat tuna fish, and chicken salad in the can. I also was told from my doctor to try some chicken to see if I can tolerate it. I also can have crackers, and green beans. I can eat egg salad, or scrambled eggs things like that. I am yet to try these things, well I did eat the tuna and it was the best tuna on a cracker I have ever eaten. I ate on cracker with some tuna and I was full. Well I don't go back to the doctor till April 4th, but I will keep everyone posted. March 29, 2001 Hello everyone. I am down at least for sure 45lbs. I am going to have my sister taek some new pics of me and post them next week. I also have some that she has to scan for me. I go to the doctor on the 4th of april, and will know for sure how much I have lost. I used my scale and it was at least 45lbs or so I hope! So my clothes are falling off, my rings are also. I want to buy some new clothes but in 2-3wks they are going to be big again. People at my job are all amazed, I told them of the surgery I dont care. I am not eating anything new and exciting. I tried some soup yesterday with turkey in it, never again my stomach didnt agree it at all. Well will keep you all posted! April 5, 2001 Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Well I am ok! I was suppose to have a doctors appt. yesterday, but they cancelled on me I was actually looking forward to getting weighed for once in my life HAHA! So I just saying I lost 45lbs until I get back to the doctor this way if its more, I will be more happy! :-) So thats about it thats going on for now. I am just taking it one day at a time. I am so sick and tired of eating the same food though. I have been looking for differnt foods to eat, but since the doctor appt was cancelled he cant move me to the next step. I was having problems with some foods, but I found out its because I wasnt chewing well enough. I was vomiting after eating lunch at work, but I talked to Colleen and she told me its because of the chewing thing. So starting today I am chewing till I cant chew no more! I hope that starting today I can eat at least 2oz, I havent been even eating the whole 3oz at all. So when my next appt comes I will let everyone know. I also went to the photo place today AND GOT MY NEW PICS COMING ON DISK TOMORROW. THEY WERE TAKEN WKS AGO. I ALSO WILL HAVE SOME CURRENT ONE WHEN MY FAMILY COMES TO SEE ME THIS SATURDAY! I WILL HAVE THE DIGITAL CAMERA READY. April 19, 2001 Hey everyone! I hope everyone is doing good. I am ok. I went to the doctor last week and it is offical 46lbs and going. I kinda wanted 50lbs but I guess I will have to be happy with 46 like everyone keeps telling me. I dont have to go back to him until 5/9/01. I am still eating the kinda same foods, chicken doesnt really agree with me. I have to try to make some fish, people tell me thats easy to digest. I cant eat salads or greens yet till next month. I cant wait. I have been dying for a nice salad with some tomotoes or cucumbers or something like that. I am going to try to eat cucumbers as long as I take out the seeds. So thats it, just hanging in there, getting more and more bored of eating soups, and mash potatoes. I want to try to make some sweet potatoes or something like that. SO I WILL KEEP YA'LL POSTED, LOVE YA ME!! April 27,2001 Hello all of my friends. I just wanted to say hello, so hello. I am doing OK. I am not sure how much I am down, but I must be down something. I was told today not eat anymore mash potatoes that they are too high in carbs. So I now have to find new things to eat today. I had salmon for the first time, it went down ok. I didnt get sick or anything so thats a good sign. As long as I dont get sick then its good for me. So I go to the doctor on May 9th, and when I do I will post to tell you all how much I have lost. Thanks everyone for all the support and help! May 11, 2001 Hey whats up group! I went to the doc on 5/9/01 I am down 62lbs in total! WOOHOOO. cant remember the last time I was down this much so fast. Well I am trying to eat different foods, its hard. I did eat the inside of a taco with meat, and cheese and sour cream from taco bell. I almost ate the whole thing. It was soooo good OMG I was dying. I also tried eating a steak um, it was 100% beef so I ate it. I also learned to try to cut out carbs, it has worked so far. I well nothing else really going on, my friend Suzanne is going to have this surgery on 5/14/01, and I wish her all the best. So Suzanne good luck girl! I will keep everyone posted as time goes on, I am also trying to help other bypassers do a website, so anyone feel free to e-mail me if you want help.
