Surgeon Testimonial Michael A. Snyder MD Dr. Snyder is AMAZING!!!! Of course i am from Kansas City, MO and hes in Denver, CO and i wasnt looking to travel so far out of my area but i heard about him once and thats all it took. I started going to his website and he sounded like jesus's brother everyone made him out to be a miracle worker and he is that good! My first impression was he really CARED about his patients and i was so impressed by his kindness. The office staff is very kind as well although there were some that were harder to get a hold of and had problems calling back it wasnt him. He let me know all of my options he didnt try and push anything on me he let me know all the risks up front and what i would need to do to stay in the place i long for. This is only a TOOL and it will only be a success if i use it. I would give the doc over 100%. When you have a spirit of excellence it motivates others to be great. Member Interests

What a feelin!!! 7 days ago
Feelin the PART!!! on June 4, 2008 12:35 pm Well as of today i weigh 288 which is amazing since i havent weighed in the 280's since my freshman year of college can anyone say 5 years ago?? I have lost 66lbs!!! I am down 2 sizes in my tops and one in my bottom. I just reached my 6 wk mark and now the work out begins, im tryin to lose another 9lbs b/c im goin to the ATL M&G. It would be so nice to have lost 75lbs by that time. God has really brought me through i really felt like death and im sure that isnt the last of it but i was just SOOO sick all the time. Things are getting a little easier for me and im THRILLED about it. I have been dating someone 3 months next week and he's been amazing through this whole thing, its crazy how your life changes in a blink of an eye.

One month Post Op on May 22, 2008 10:45 pm I had my one month check up on Wed morning and since surgery i have lost 46lbs!!! But all in all total since my highest weight in January i have lost 58lbs total. I have been through the ringer and i thought it was all over i have been taking my vitamins eatin better drinkin better but i had a bad spell that had me puking from 5:30 last night till almost 2 in the morning i felt so weak but im fine now and ready to get back out there. Im a little nervous bc im going back to work a week early and i kinda have just gotten used to this little pouch so i hope i can do ok at work, thank god i work in a hospital!
Bumpy on May 13, 2008 8:37 am So things havent been the easiest, i have been through alot since my surgery i have been in the hospital twice and i really wanted to die but i got through it. Ever since then i have been deathly afraid to eat anything real so i dont eat much. It seems like EVERYTHING i eat makes me sick so im just kinda going without. Trying to get my protein in im not that successful but i try and i drink some water but it seems to get hot before i can finish it which is frustrating. I just havent been happy since i had this surgery i keep trying to think what people are telling me just give it time so im trying to wait till 6 weeks out. On the other hand i have lost 48lbs in total since January but since the surgery i have lost 36 which is good too seeing as how it hasnt even been a month. Im tryin to hang in there but i really hope it gets better b/c for now I AM DONE. Constantly feeling sick is NOT what i signed up for. I hope the next time i post it can be better fam...

4 comments | Click here to leave a comment.So the 21st it is, Im so excited this day has finally come i have worked my ass off for the last 6 months and am so glad that the lord has blessed me over and over again. I just cant wait for this time to come this is something i have struggled with my whole child adult life. Thinking back on everything i have missed out on and couldve done and been but i have LET this weight hold me back, im gonna have a chance at what i have always wanted true FREEDOM. Just a quick shout out to those on here that have really been a support to me, everyone has been so great and its SOOO NICE to have a family that knows every hurt and disappointment i have ever known. Thanks really Too close to home to go back to third ~Rachel My Story Well well well where to start... I was born abandoned my mother gave me up for adoption these nice people came and adopted me at 5 1/2 wks. From what we know of my parents my mom was a caucasian short heavy white woman and my father was a tall half samoan half black man. I knew i have been adopted my whole life. I have always felt a sense of lonliness and abandonment like a big piece of me is missing. I have a brother that is 14 years older than me and a sister 9 years older. When i was a kid i was always taller and thicker not so much chubby or chunky i was just a big kid. My mom always used to make fun of me thinking it would help me not want to be big. Although she didnt help buying chips and candies and keeping me in the house non-active most of the time. As i got older the verbal abuse stuck with me and i thought i was destined to just be this way. Things only got worse, always getting picked over for my gorgeous friends i was just the girl they saw as a "sister." It didnt help either that friends would tell me he wouldnt like someone like you or maybe if you just lost some weight. I tried every diet i could i would lose weight and put it right back on and usually more than i lost. When i graduated from HS i was a little over 250 lbs. I heard about Gastric bypass and wanted to get it i heard there were so many complications plus i was getting ready to go to college so i didnt really have time. Now my life has settled down somewhat, im 24 years old at a whooping 348 pounds and am not living my life the way i imagined. I have low self esteem dont think i deserve a whole lot and its got to CHANGE!!!! A girl on my team at work told me she was having the Lap-band and i wasnt aware we could get that on our insurance. I looked and RNY Gastric Bypass was available so i started the 6 month process in October 2007, wish me luck!! |
