Surgeon Testimonial

James Davidson
I, would have to say, that my first impression of Dr. Davidson was, this man is very well educated. I felt very comfy with him. I, very quickly got the impression that he would do everything in his power to make sure I would have WLS. I, felt he was going to be working for \"ME\" on this WLS journey. I, never once felt out of place or out smarted. He, seemed very intrested in knowing my family history and my struggles with PCOS. He, was in general a very concerned surgeon and you could see through the education the he truly cares about the health and well being of his patients. I, think he has the \"BEST\" office staff I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! I could go on and on about the great day I had with them. I will add more to this once I have had my surgery!

1 year post-op today *reflection*

1 year post-op RNY today!  Happy surgery Anniversary!

At this time last year I was being wheeled into my hospital room after undergoing my RNY.  I was 230 pounds and not happy with my health.  I can say now, it's been one of the best choices I've made in my short 25 years of life. 

On this same day last year I looked ahead to the future and wanted to be at my surgeons goal weight of 120 pounds by my 1 year. anniversary.  Boy, how life can change......even if it's unexpected and unplanned and still turn out to be wonderful, amazing and excting.

Today, I sit almost 31 weeks pregnant and 151.8 pounds.  Far from the 120 pounds I had imagined but, a very happy and excited mommy to be.  I'm greateful for the second chance at motherhood.  I feel blessed that surgery has lifted the sorrow of my unhealthy weight.  I'm thankfull for all the gifts, blessings and hard times that I've endured in the last 12 months since my surgery.  Life is a to be treasured and I can honsetly say....being post-op has thaught me more about life and how short our time is on this earth.  I'm more understanding, more affectionate and happy then I've ever been. 

Today is a very emotional day for me, but in a good way.  I'm proud of what I've done and glad to be given a second chance at life.

I wish I had a beautiful 1 year post-op pic of my new and improved self.  In stead, I have a 30 week belly shot....not what I expected to be posting at 1 yr.

Life deals us different cards...it's up to us to play the game.  I'm rolling with the flow..............
