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!

Reaching goal after Skyler is born?
I had a long night last night. I tossed and turned and just couldn't get comfy at all. Skyler was up punching, kicking or whatever her little self was doing was like for sure Kung Fu Panda in my tummy. In the mist of all my sleepless torture, I had time to lay and think. When I got pregnant with Skyler I was 144 pounds. That meant I was only *24* pounds from reaching my surgeons goal weight for me. Now, I'm almost 25 weeks preggers and have only gained 4.8 pounds. I know I will gain more as this pregnancy goes on. That's fine with me as long as she is 100% healthy. I can't help but wonder? After she is born will my body start losing again? Will I reach my surgeons goal of 120 pounds??? My family, friends and DH seem to think that 120 pounds on me at 5'3" is tooo skinny. I'm not sure? I would like to try and get down to that and heck, if it's too thin than I can add a few pounds back. I was very, very happy at 144 pounds prior to getting preggers with Skyler. I was in a size 4-6 and ex-sm-small shirts. I still wanted to be a tad bit smaller. I want to be at my own goal, that's why I had this surgery. I get really offended when people tell me you don't need to lose anymore weight. I think it's just because they were so used to seeing me obese for so many years that it's hard to grasp me being skinny and healthy. Thanks for reading and listening. It helps to get things off you're chest. Ash :) 3 Comment(s)

I'm sure once Skyler is born you will start losing and picking back up on your weight loss goal where you left off, after all, your going to be busy with two kiddos!!!!!! Um, well, if husband is like mine maybe 3, hehe! As for what weight you end up being only time will tell and your right, if you do get to 120 and your too small, you can gain! I get the whole your thin enough thing, I get it too but would like to lose another 10-15 pounds, I think people are just use to us being obese and can't grasp the thin thing, it makes me mad too, you should here my parents and lecture on eating! I'm like HELLO! I don't really have a stomach, geez! NUTS! Don't sweat it, I'm sure you'll acomplish the goals you want to for yourself! BE POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy for you that everything is going so well!! I wanted to share that I also understand how it feels when people say you've lost enough weight. I'm not even close to where I want to be and I'm hearing that! It is hard to hear. It's tough enough for us to accept the adjustment! Your weight loss journey has been so fantastic I have no doubts it will pick right back up after you give birth to Skyler!! *Hugs*

You look great baby bump and all. As for you getting down to 120lbs you can do it. If you'll to skinny I don't think so. I'm 5'3" myself and I'm down to 115 I think I look great. Yes I have some family members that tease me if the wind is blow that I better put big rocks in my pocket so I don't blow away. But I have alot more that tell me I look great. Its not about what I look like it how I feel and let me tell you I feel great. I'm 20 months post op and I have done more things in the past 20months that I was unable to do for the past 15 years. So again congrats on everything you have done and I can't wait to see pic of Skyler.
