Surgeon Testimonial

James Davidson, M.D.
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!

The 140's
on January 14, 2008 10:11 am
Well, I have been meaning to update and just haven't taken the time to do so.  Saturday, I reached the 140's!  148 pounds to be exact!  Pretty cool....huh?  Yes, it is!  For sure baby!!!  Other than that.....nothing exciting to report.  Just everyday life..... So, the cool thing is, I have 6 pounds left to lose and *I will be in the "normal BMI range"*  My next appointment with my surgeon is on Feb. 11th and I am hoping to be in the 130's for my 6 Month Post-Op mark!  So 28 pounds left and I will be at my surgeon goal weight of 120 pounds!  That's crazy!!!  I can't wait......the suspense is driving me crazy....I just wanna see those numbers baby!!  

Funny story......I went a couple of weeks ago to get me a new Carhart jacket.  I walk into Cavenders and start looking around.  A very nice young lady walks up, and says "can I help you"?  So, I say, YES!  I am looking for a new Carhart jacket.  She says okay, is this for you? or someone else?  I said, no....it's for me.  So, she goes okay...lets go over here.....she takes me to the jackets.....she says what size?  I say...without a hitch I need a medium....she goes.....OH NO HONEY.....you need a SMALL your tiny girl!  I was like OMGGGGG I know you must need glasses...because I'm not small by any means!!  What a WOW moment!

So, I have rambled enough for one day.....Tah Tah for now folks!

80 Pounds gone......should I celebrate?!?!?!
on January 10, 2008 4:43 pm

I am very proud of myself, my progress, my determination, my strenght, my passion, my selfcontrol and my faith with God.  If it wasn't for him, I would not be where I am today.  That, I am very Thankful for everyday I wake!  Well, today was a good day for me.  The scale read, 150 Pounds!  Yes, I am very, very excited but, I don't feel like I can break out and celebrate just yet......  My goal has always been to see *100* Pounds Lost*!!!  I feel I can't be 100% amazed until I reach that goal!  I know, it's truly silly not to be bouncing off the walls at 80 pounds gone forever in just 5 months after surgery!  I can't really explain how I feel....I feel joy, excited and silly, goofy happy about my pics now days!  I just wanna see those numbers!!!!  I know I will, and it wont be long.  I am still amazed at the clothes I can wear now.  I can walk into a store pick my size and buy it, without even having to try it on!!!  I have NEVER been able to do that in my life!  I know the people who haven't had surgery yet, are reading this are thinking....she is CRAZY!!! Can't she see how much she has lost?!?!  Yes, I know....it just takes longer for it to sink in for some of us.  Just know, I am thankful and appriciate everything my OH friends have said and done.  Thanks guys!!! I love ya'll!!!  I do get really tickled when I think wow, I have 30 pounds until I hit 120 pounds!!!  I have a good feeling that before the end of this week, I will be in the 140's!!!!  I wouldn't be to shocked to see 149 pounds on the scale in the morning, if so.... I am gonna have to post again....HeeHee!!!  Well, I think that's my story for the day.....Tah Tah for now..........
