Hi, I wanted to share what's going on in my life. I was living in a very huge body for so long, way over 400 lbs, today, Dec. 19,2012 I am now at the weight of 198!  I want to thank God 1st and foremost, Frances, who stood by me thru it all, my brother Carlos who always stood by me with these great support, I couldn't help by loose but in the good way. I now can see my feet, I now sit with my legs cross, and I no longer have to fear of going somewhere wondering if I will fit in the chair, or if people are going to stare. I have had to buy many new clothes bc I keep out growing the new ones I do have. Sometimes its sad bc I really liked them, but then I find I like the new ones as well. It took a long time before I stop going into the big sizes, I had done that for so long of time. I have energy to play with my Goddaughter, who will be turning 1 at the end of this month. I went out to many carnivals this pass summer and got on rides which I loved to ride on when I was in High school, when I was last able too. Looking forward to more next year. My goal is to which 150, so I still have a lil ways to go, never dreamed I would ever in my life time see the hundreds!! oh my God sometimes I have to see myself to see if its true. It took over a lil year before I even looked at myself in the mirror, when I did I was so amazed and full of joy. So anyone out there wondering if ya can do this the answer is YES ya can!!! I am living proof that ya can. I should have been dead, a long time ago, I had so many health problems from the heart to everything else, yesterday I got a call from my doctor, who informed me I am NO longer a diabetic! what wonderful news, bc diabetes is what took my Mother home. I am still limited but bc of my back and legs no longer my weight. So please anyone needing help, in any way, if I can share anything to help I am more than willing too. I will be adding some pics not today but very soon. So God bless ya all and lets us all keep moving foward to a healthier New Year, Merry Christmas to everyone. :)

Ok after many hurdles, many discouragements but an never ending fight I finally got my surgery date! It was suppose to be the 25th of October but just got a call from the doctors office they have moved my date up to the 11th of October! wow less than 2 weeks to go. Very nervous and not sure what to expect afterwards. Thought I would return to this site to get more information.

Well it is now Nov. 27, I began in Sept. I have never been in such a situation as this, I have had so many obsticales in front of me, I truly thoguth I would be on a date to have this surgery. It took some time for my Doctor to convince me to have this surgery. Now that I willingly want it, I have not been able too. I dont really know how I feel. Everyone kept telling me go to Johns, but I choosed Hurley bc it was closer. I have been told now they want me to talk to another doctor for a minimum of 6-12 more consultations. Which will cost me at least 2,000.00 more dollars, out of pocket. I am on disability, I dont have that kind of money. Everything I said to Dr. Williams took everything I said wrong. He says in his consultaion that IF we need to talk more there would NOT be any extra charge, now I am being told I have to see some lady doctor. So my trust in Hurley is zero! They force ppl to see Williams, for those of you who have made it I am truly happy for you. I am only saying what is happening to me. My life is in God's hand. So I wish you all well. I dont plan on coming back to much to this place, I want to thank Mary who was always willing to help me. And some others who did write me. God be with you all......Raquel

Well I got my meeting set up for the psych analysis, today, not really happy about that, but I guess its a must. The charge is outrageous this seems to be going fast, Maybe a New year and New body at the same time :) Bless ya all

well today is begin my journal to a better future, today is my 1st consultation, with the help of God and all my family, I plan to get thru this, no matter what comes my way. I will ask for all your prayers, I am a true believer in prayers, God knows I will need them. I pray for all of you as well who is going thru the same thing. God Bless, I am on my way out the door :)

I have my consultation date Sept.14, 2010, I am praying to have a new look, and having a new future, and having a life.
