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....

Well, I am now 6 weeks since surgery and I have lost 28LBS post op and 14 LBS pre-op on the liquid diet!!!! So drum roll....... 42LBS!!! YAAAY...... Thank for stopping by.....

So how's eating for me.... its okay, I really haven't found any food that I can not tolerate, however I have had some vomit and dumping moments, mostly because I ate WAAYY to fast....... I need to be more disciplined with having food around. Any ideas let me know......My size 28 pants are falling off, good to loose inches bad to spend money. I am not quite a size 26 yet........

Signing off.....
adj..

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...
