Surgeon Testimonial Timothy Kuwada, Dr. Kuwada is GREAT!! I really think he is pleasant and has great mannerism. Working with overweight patients he seemed very empathetic and humble. Which to me contrasted one of his staff nurses. I almost went to another doctor because of his Nurse Nazi as I call her.. to me she is rude and judgemental.... but since Dr. Kuwada is very knowledgable and easy going, the experience was Great! His assistant/resident, Dr. Chen was awesome, too.. I have already recommended Dr. Kuwada to my sister and she is looking to have the LAP BAND procedure instead of the bypass.... Member Interests

My Story My overweight struggle began since childhood. I hav e always worn clothes 4-5 years ahead of my age, of course once I becaem an adult its now 10-20 sizes larger than the average person. I have dne weight watchers like 15 times since the age of 12. I also was successful with the South Beach Diet and in 2004 lost 60LBS! Going from 345 to 283! However with a job change and uncertainty of career path and stress I gained all the weight back and THEN some in 2006, I have researched thsi procedure since 2003, but I wanted to give myself one LAST chance to do it naturally which is why I tried the south beach diet in 2004 and ended up gaining all the weight back by 2005!! So I started the process for weightloss surgery by 2006 and had to go on insulin to get my sugar levels under control for the surgery. I had my surgery was April 9th 2007. I weighed 374.9 when I started the two week pre-op liquid diet and weighed 360.2 the day of surgery... |
