Surgeon Testimonial

John M. Huse M.D.
So far I really like Dr. Huse...he seems to be quite knowledgable, and very informative. He is nice and made me quite comfortable with him.

WOW can it be October (almost November) already? I had such a wonderful summer and I'm sorry I haven' t been back here to post in such a long time...well so much has happened to me...I got a GREAT job in July....I'm loving it...I also got something else I wasn't exactly planning on...I got PREGNANT...oh my...so now I'm not quite 16 weeks pregnant and enjoying this pregnancy more than any of my others...I've gained a total of 3lbs for the pregnancy...baby is fine...momma is great...life is good!
I'm due April 13, 2009...and looking forward to an ultrasound on Nov. 12th to find out if it's a little boy or a little girl!

Otherwise feeling awesome and loving my husband and my life here in Indy!

Hope to hear from some of you soon!
Hugs

   I feel AWESOME...I got married to the love of my life Kenny on May 10th...several of my friends from OH were there or sent well wishes! thank you guys!!!! I am currently weighing in at 165lbs....just got a new driver's license and a new pic to boot...size 10 jeans are fitting me YIPPIE and I'm excited that I'm near my goal! My original goal was 135, but I'm pretty sure it's going to take plastic surgery to remove the extra skin to get that low...I'm shooting for 150lbs at this point and think i'll be more than happy with that! I'm trying my best to keep this updated...I know it's been awhile...but I just want to be an encouragement to those who have not yet had the surgery...hang in there your day is coming...i feel like a new person and i wouldn't change this surgery for ANYTHING!

Hugs,
jen

Ok, so the weight loss is sloooow going at the moment, but the scales are still going DOWN, which is a good thing! I'm currently wearing a comfortable sz 12 jeans and I'm thinking when I go to the mall tomorrow I'm going to try on some size 10's just for the hell of it! :) I'm weighing in at about 182 and feeling GREAT! Can't wait for summer, just bought a new two piece bathing suit (with a wrap for good measure)

I'm posting some new pics, take a look and tell me what ya think! Hugs eveyone...see you at the clothing exchange next saturday!

ok, not a productive month in the weight loss catagory...I'm standing strong at 190lbs...size 14-16...feeling good...looking better :) and trying to keep this thing updated...my personal life has been such a mess since November that it's a wonder I've lost any weight...but still the scales are moving down...so I'm not complaining...I mean I started this journey with the number 3 in front of my weight, and now there's a 1 there....so who's complaining???? NOT ME! :)

besides that not much shakin...hope everyone here is doing well and I'll update again SOON!

hugs

My Story

Hi everyone! My name is Jen, I'm 34 and soon to be divorced with three children. I was not an overweight child, or teen, but gained 75lbs or so with my first pregnancy and never took the weight off...over the years I've gained and lost and here I am today at 300lbs...I've been wanting to have WLS for several years, but we never had health insurance that covered it till now. As soon as we got this new insurance I began looking into it. I have had my first consult with Dr. Huse at St. Vincent's (in April) and had my Psych eval on May 1. I didn't have all the records together for Nicole to submit to my insurance until the 2nd week of June, but once I got them to her my insurance only took approx 12 days to approve me!  I was previously  hoping to have my surgery by my birthday (June 18th)...but that wasn't really a realistic goal...my acutal surgery date is August 2nd and as of today I only have 18 more days until me REBIRTHDAY!!! In my skinny days I was 135lbs give or take and I'm 5'6" tall...so I'd love to see at least 150...I'd be tickled to death with that! I'm looking forward to meeting new people and sharing my experience and journey with others. Thanks for reading this and I will update it as my journey continues!

Hugs,

Jen
