Surgeon Testimonial

James K. Weber M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Weber was that he was so intent on helping people combat obesity. After the first appt with him I knew he was the right surgeon for the job. I thanked my PCP profusely for referring me to him. His office staff was wonderful, after the first appt they remembered my name and who I was and made me feel like everything was going to be ok. He's tough, I had to lose about 20 lbs before surgery and keep food logs and excercise logs, but soon realized that for the first time in my life I was accountable for the things I put in my body. He was straightforward about the risks of surgery, but still made me feel like I would be ok. He's a brilliant surgeon, and caring doctor, and a creator of hope. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon.

Well, a lot has been happening... I am 10 weeks pregnant with my second child and soooo excited!! This was one of the reasons I had the surgery, so I could be pregnant (and GET pregnant) at a healthy weight. Yay!!!!!
The only sad thing is that my husband leaves soon to go on a 7-month deployment and won't be here--- but he will come home to a beautiful new baby!! :)

Stuck at 186 all week-- fluctuated down to 182 but then got really thirsty and drank a lot of gatorade and water and gained back 4 lbs! lol The nodule in my thight is just a calcified fat--- yay! But now I have to go on "replacements" because my electrolytes, calcium, potassium, sodium, and glucose were down below normal. On Thursday I have to go to my PCM (who I don't like) and see what I need to take, then I'm going to try to switch PCM's because part of the reason I haven't been going as much as I should. I'll be better about it!
