Surgeon Testimonial

Alfredo Fernandez, M.D.
I choose Dr. Fernandez for RNY. Originally, I had another surgeon in mind I went to that surgeon's seminar which was very brief and to the point. I did not feel a connection with him. I was not convinced and started having second thoughts. A few months later I was referred to Dr Fernandez by a friend. I attended his informational seminar. From the moment I got there I was impressed and confident in his skills. This man truly care for his patient. I learned in more detail about the lap band and RNY. It was very informative and providing all the information I needed to decide which procedures I wanted. Dr. Fernandez welcomed questions. I've heard only good remarks about him and look forward to my next step in WLS.

77 days out..... 08/07/2008
posted on 8/6/08 10:11 pm
Hello everyone! It's been a while since I updated my page and so much has happen. First of all, I'm feeling wonderful! I'm in love with myself. i pass by mirrors just to look at myself.  I went from a size 24 to a 18. I have not had any serious mishaps or complication. The first month was the worst. My body had to adjust to the changes. I had to buckle down and follow directions, as far as what i could and could not eat. And eventually everything fell into place. (Thank GOD). I enjoy the compliments. I've had several WOW moments and it feels so good. I exspecially enjoy going through my closet and trying on clothes that i could not fit. But now there either to big or just right. Two weeks ago I went shopping for a outfit. I was in a rush so I went straight for the size 24, not thinking at all.  ........ But I got in the dressing room put the dress on and i started crying... The dress just fell off me. I can't remember the last time I tried on something and it was extremely to big. There was a mixture of emotions all at once and it was just one of those moments.  I went for the 18 and it was perfect. I can wear dresses or shirts with the back out, I can comfortably  cross my legs, and my energy level is amazing. I feel i'm losing the weight at a slower rate than others but I'm okay with that because I'm still getting the results I want. I feel good and I'm healthy. So what else can i ask for??? I have not had my blood work done, which is my fault. The doctor gave me the form for it a bout a month ago.. But, I have not gone yet. I realize I need to. I recently started exercising so hopefully that will increase the weight loss. My goal is to post atleast once a month, so  until next time...
