Surgeon Testimonial

Trace Curry
I had done a ton of research on the surgery, but still learned a bunch more that I didn't know. Office Staff was great.. all very nice ladies. Great to know that some of them have been through it as well. Entire visit ran smoothly and I felt really welcome. rnrnPost Op. Surgery went smoothly. No problems. Dr C was easy to contact when I thought I had an incision infection. (and on Xmas Eve!) The office staff is great. Erin was a dream with helping me with my preop diet. Everything was perfect. rnrnAftercare is second to none! Great staff, always available to answer questions.rnrnUpdated 5/1/2009 Even now, two and a half years out.. Dr. Curry is by far the best doctor I have ever known. Always there to help me. Unfill..perfect solution!rnrnThanks!

3 years Post Op. Wow

I just had an unfill this past week.  That is two this year.  I haven't had a fill since March 2008, but had two unfills this year. Funny how that works.  Turns out I am stressing myself tight lol

So here's where I am.

I started at 315 in December 2006
I got as low as 206 this spring.
I am right now 217. 
I went up to 222 last week because i was too tight.  (IF YOU ARE TOO TIGHT, GET UNFILLED DONT WAIT)

I went from a 30/32 to a 14/16 top and 16 bottom.
Sizes 9W shoe to a 7 regular shoe.
Ring size 11 to a 7
Bra 46DD to 40C/D

Life is great.  I'm not at any scale goal.. but I am at a life goal.  I can do ANYTHING I want to do.. and my weight doens't hold me down.  That's all that matters to me as the scale doesn't rule my life.

The angels in my life Dr. Curry and Lisa and Erin.. Thanks for helping me get where I'm at!

Sizes 14 and up.

Going to school and also working another full time job.  I am happy that I am not gaining weight even though I am not losing any.  I am in plateau land, but very okay with that.  I wear between a size 14 and 18.  Depending on the make and model lmao.

I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and bought a spaghetti tank size 12/14 size LARGE lol  too funny.

Only thing I want to fix is my freaking arms.

Anywho.. I will do measurements again October 1.

That's all for now.

May Update

Okay.. let's see.  I couldn't eat for about 3 months.. I finally grew a brain and went and got an unfill of .4.  Feeling much better now, and I can eat.  I started to lose again.  YEAH ME.  I didnt think I needed an unfill because I hadn't gotten a fill in OVER A YEAR!

My shop is going really well..  come on WLS people.. lots of centers in CLEVELAND.. where the hell are you!!  Sell your too big clothes here.  Curvy Consignments  13902 Puritas Ave Cleveland, OH 44135  www.curvyconsignments.com

Got my old job back.. life is going to be quite busy from now on.  Which I like.  I was on a plane for the first time since my surgery.. I dont have to snuggle with my neighbors anymore.. wahoo.. although in this case it sucked.. all my plane neighbors except one were hot. lmao

I am on a break from School for the moment.. too much going on..so my MBA will have to wait.

I am going to attach my measurements now..  I am surprised on how much they have changed even though my weight really hasn't.  Keep in mind..the June is JUNE 2008.. May is now...

Arms are getting bigger because of HANG TIME lmao  Not a pretty sight at all.. but my midsection..way down.

That is pretty much everything at the moment..  I am aiming for another 25 lbs for Dr. Curry.. and for me..still looking for 157, although I highly doubt it without having skin removed.

Later Gators!

I went up as high as 222, and now I am back to 216 this morning.  I spend around 12 hours a day on my feet at the store, and have been playing hockey at least twice a week.  My food is much less than before, and not nearly as much junk... so why aren't I losing more?  I know I have to increase my water intake... which is bizarre for me.. because I used to drink 12-16 glasses a day. lol, Now I am down to like 3 glasses.  Just not that thirsty in the winter.  I haven't seen the gym, because I have been working so much getting the store ready.  My legs are constantly killing me from standing all day.  I have Meralgia Paresthetica, which basically means pinched nerves in my hips that make my legs numb.  That isn't so bad (minus the bruises, because I dont feel myself bumping them) But when you stand too long they go numb, like the "sat on your foot too long" tingle feeling.  OUCHIE!  And it doesnt go away for hours.

Anyway, so I am going to get back to the gym this week, it won't be today due to having school tonight, and tomorrow is hockey practice, so Thursday will be the day.  I think I will start working out M/TH/F/S/S Since I have school on Tues and hockey on Weds.  For the days I have hockey on Sunday, I wont go to the gym that day.

I am aiming for 199 by my birthday.  (May 6th, send gift cards) lol  That gives me 9 weeks from today to lose 17 lbs.  Roughly 2 lbs a week.  I think that is doable.  I just need to up my water and down my Taco Bell. lol

I fit into a size 16 Talbots Pants lol and a 14/16 Lane Bryant Top yesterday.. that made me very happy.  But I know in a regular (non plus size) store I am still a 18. lol  I am working at it...

So my official weigh in day will be Tuesdays.  Today was 216.  Til next week!
