Surgeon Testimonial

Allan Huffman, M.D.
When I met Dr. Huffman,I was impressed. He really cares about his patients. He really wants to see his patients keep the weight off long term. He seems very strict. I need that. He likes his patients to come back often after surgery for his aftercare. He believes that his patients have done better when they come back versus the ones that dont. He is VERY blut about complications. He does not hold anything back. It almost like hes trying to scare you. He was very nice to my partner and answered all her questions and made sure she understood everything.
His staff is great. Everyone is very nice. Renee is so sweet. She takes times to explain everyhing to you and answer questions. I give Dr. Huffman a 10 and Renee a 10. They are wonderful and I am excited about having wls by them.

2 years!!!

I just turned 2 years on Jan. 13th and cant believe how fast these 2 years went for me. I am soooo happy I had wls. It has truly changed my life for the better. Yes, I have lost a couple friends and a partner but I still dont don't regret my decision to have the surgery. I can walk, go to amusment parks, shop in regular stores and just live a better quality of life. The further out I become, the more I realized that I DO have an eating problem/addiction to food. I talked to my pcp about it and she refered me to a therapist that specializes in eating disorders. She has helped me in so many ways. My biggest struggle has been compliments. I don't hate them but they make me feel very uncomfortable. When I look in the mirror, I still see a fat face but people are telling me that my face is slim! My therapist is working on that with me too!
When I starting researching the surgery I was 450 lbs!! The day of surgery, I was 388. Right now I'm 181 lbs!!!!!! Now that's what I call a BLESSING!!!!! Once I reached my lowest weight, I maintained it for a few months but I gained 10 lbs. back. I'm now back to my lowest again. I eat pretty normal and still do protein shakes everyday. Without them, my hair falls out.
I wear a size 10 pants and a size 12 tops! The skin is horrible but I'll take this skin anyday over being 450 again. I'm so afraid to have plastic surgery but I do want it. I promised myself that I would at least go to a couple consults to get information. I'm ready for my boobs to be back where they should be! LOL!

I am so thankful for this site, without it, I never would of had this surgery! I have met some really awesome friends and don't know what I would do without the support of my girls on the January board! They are truly the best!!!! At least 2 times a week, I get messages and/or commets from people telling me how good I'm doing. I appreciate every single  commet that I get and it's what truly keeps me going and helps me stay on track!

My aviatar was taken a few days ago on my 2 year anniversay so that is the new me. I'm going to take some full body shots this weekend and have thme next week! I love the camera now! 

GOD bless!!!!  I love you guys!
