Surgeon Testimonial

Adrian J. Heap M.D.,F.A.C.S.,F.R.C.S.(C)
I had my first visit with him yesterday and I felt he was very kind, he answered my questions, I was pleased. I really wanted the gastrectomy and I am grateful he has a surgery that will help me absorb vitamins. I have horrid osteporosis in my family and was worried about that

    I am checking in to say - FELIZIDADES / CONGRATULATIONS - for deciding to take this life-changing step to becoming a more healthier you! I hope everything goes as planned and that you have a speedy recovery. Some words of advice: Please remember to keep positive thoughts at all times. When in doubt – ASK! Keep records of everything, including photos (makes a great scrapbook that you can look back on when you reach goal) and please keep your journal updated because you never know whom you might be helping. You will be in my thoughts. ~ Kelly

Powerful Angels
posted on 10/26/06 5:51 pm
I had someone not recognize me today.  She worked in medical records and left before my WLS.  She saw me today and was so amazed at the new me.  I talk to others about perspective.  I was feeling a little bad today because I have lost 177 pounds and still have a BMI that would qualify me for WLS.  I will never be a size 10....so God sent me an angel that said how ravishing I look.  Wasn't that just the kindest thing.  I will never be a size 10, but let's think what else I will never be:

So full of pain, I can't walk on the beach.
So terrified of flying (that I can't fit in the seat) that I give up my grant reviewer position.
Full of skin rashes.
The list goes on.  It's all about perspective.  Sometimes I imagine 2 hands stretched out ot me.  One is an angel full of love and kindness and righeous power (my angels are always amazon warrior princess') or a demon full of shame and doubt and pessimism.  I have a choice of which hand to hold.  I have to remember that every day.

  • Size 10 is over-rated. You're healthier and prettier, it's all good! Thanks for speaking from the heart.
