Surgeon Testimonial

Charles A. Svendsen, M.D.
Dr. Svendsen walked into the exam room today with his hand extended and said "Hi, I'm Chuck" with the warmest smile on his face. I found him to be very straight forward and full of information. He answered all my questions completely. His nurse Barb is wonderful. Not a typical no nonsense type medical professional. You can tell she loves what she does and is fun to be around. He put a lot of emphasis on the after care program and the help it provides his patients.

    Hey! By now you should be post-op. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you recover. How cool is it that you and Sabrinna are there together. Well, rest up and heal fast. Lori

Home from Jamaica
I just spent a lovely week in Jamaica with my family escaping the cold Minnesota winter.  The weather was fabulous.  Food...not so great...for me anyway.  Had a really hard time finding what I could eat.  There was not much fruit on the island due to the last hurricane that went through.  I'm not a huge fan of jerk...and everything is jerk.  I did find some pretty good fish to eat.  The kids ate at Burger King everyday...real healthy, right? 

We took Brady home the meet the family for the first time.  I swear that little pumpkin has Jamaica in his soul...he had a fabulous time...and LOVED all the jamaican food...which of course made his dad happy as a clam in the sand.  Billy had a wonderful time reuniting with his cousins and playing in the sun, sea and sand.  He got so brown.  I lathered on the sun screen so I don't really have much of a tan at all.  When I was younger it was all about the tan...somehow that has switched to all about the wrinkles (or avoiding getting more).

Kevin's family was very surprised with my appearance.  I received much praise on my weight loss which made me very proud.  

Stats:

Todays weight:  182
Start weight:       315
Loss since surgery:  133 (OMG!!!!)
Start BMI: 54
Today BMI:  31
Difference:  -23

PEACE!!!
