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

Where does time go?
OMG!!  I can't believe it is the middle of July already.  Summer is flying by.  Before we know it school will start again. 

I haven't posted in quite some time.  I am feeling very good now.  My depression is so much better.  The meds and the counseling have helped tremendously.  I find it also helps me alot to go to the support group meetings.  I can't encourage others enough about this fact. 

Today I weigh in at 159 lbs.  Down 156 from surgery.  That is just amazing to me.  I am walking and riding my bike and enjoying life with my family. 

One thing that never did bite me is the shopping bug...thank goodness.  A lot of people going through this process find that they like shopping for clothes for the first time in their lives.  I still hate it.  Doesn't matter if I wear a 30 or a 12...I don' like shopping.  I still have a hard time with body image.  I still gravitate toward the plus sized clothes...it's where I feel comfortable.  I find myself wandering through Lane Bryant....and now nothing in there even fits me.

Peace.
