Surgeon Testimonial

Kelly Francis, MD
My 1st impression of Dr Francis was good. I think I kinda decided on her from the begining.
Her office staff has been amazing always on top of the testing and the appointments. Especially love Michelle in her office.
She did come to see me the following day, very pleasant, asked the normal questions, said i was doing great and went on her rounds.
I think she is a great doctor and I would recomend her.

SOMETIMES I WONDER???
on June 27, 2008 7:32 am
Recently I have found that people tell me I need to stop losing weight. Now mind you all my life people have said "your such a beautiful girl if you could just lose weight" ?? now they say I need to stop, I even had someone yesterday tell me I need to gain a few pounds. I havent lost any major weight in a month or so.. my weight loss has came to a stand still. But I think I am ok with my currnt weight. Anyone else go through this???

6-8-08 I'M NORMAL?? SAYS WHO?
on June 8, 2008 3:00 pm
Well today is another freakin WOW moment.

I got on the scale this morning after not having lost any weight for about a month, it said I weighed 168.5. 
The part that really cracks me up is that my darling husband who people call him skinny got on the scale right after me his weight 168.5
after both of us weighing our selves numerous times to make sure it was correct, we BOTH did the happy dance  never in my life have I ever been this weigh and never did I ever think I would weigh the same as my husband.
Miracles do happen and I am thankful!!!  I LOVE MY RNY

BMI Calculator

Down to 188= TOTAL 95 pounds
I have a Dr. Appt with Dr. Francis on friday, I would love to hit 100 by then but I'm happy with 95 for now. 
Losing all this weight makes me a very cold girl!!!!
Hopefully the sun will come out and I will enjoy basking in it!!!

My Story

Gosh where do you start? I am presently awaiting final approval from my insurance company, they say hopefully I should be scheduled in the nexxt 2 months. I am so excited to start enjoying my new life. Being overweight is something I have struggled with for 30 yrs. I welcome any new friends, advice or suggestions.
