Surgeon Testimonial

Terry Simpson
I first thought about surgery a couple of years ago and after much research chose to visit one of Dr. Simpson's meetings for potential patients. I went and was very pleased with Dr. Simpson. Unfortunately due to things beyond my control I haven't been able to pursue surgery. I just found out my insurance will cover it and have decided to go back to Dr. Simpson. I have decided to do self-pay because the requirements from my insurance company are rediculous. It's pricey but worth every penny.

It's been a while but I'm back
on August 14, 2008 2:28 pm

It's been a long while since I last posted. I guess I was distracted with work, life, a new boyfriend. There was about two months where I gained and lost the same 5lbs over and over. I guess I lost hope or motivation. Then I finally got my crap together and started losing again. I now do cario 6-7 days a week and have lost tons of inches. I'm finally in a size 22 pants/jeans and actually bought a 20 work pant from the Avenue. I could not believe it! I'm not perfect and I don't eat 100% the way I should but this is a process. I can't expect to loose 100lbs instantly. I have my next fill on Monday and have lost 70-72lbs, depending on the day.

Not a great month
on February 7, 2008 7:54 pm

Well the past month wasn't so great for my weight loss. I did not get a fill so I was already feeling defeated. I ate crap I shouldn't have and felt no restriction. I did go to the gym more then I had previously and made great strides working out, so that I'm pleased. I only lost three lbs this months but am at least grateful I didn't gain. I got a fill today and am ready to rock and roll. Only 2.5 lbs till I get to my first 50.

flu, weight loss, and the holidays
on January 2, 2008 8:51 am

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I can't believe how quickly this year went by. I am excited to see what 2008 brings. My holiday was good except for the fact I got the flu 2 days before new years. I was vomitting and my throat was so swolen. I had it again on New Years eve but my doctor gave me a shot for nasea and some antibiotics. Weirdly enough I felt ok to hang out with some friend doing low key stuff. Last year I was in bed by 10:30 because I was sick and had a blood clot (didn't know it at the time). So I was a bit dissapointed to be sick again. But all turned out well. My Christmas was good. I told myself not to fret over eating some Christmas goodies and that I'd start my "diet" the day after. That is what I did and lost 7lbs by new years. I have 4 lbs to meet my 50lb mark and I seem to be stuck the last couple days on where I am. I wanted to lose 50 by 1/7 but I'm not going to over do it. It'll come off when the time is right.

I wish everyone a wonderful and safe 2008. May all your hopes and dreams come true! :)

2nd fill
on December 10, 2007 6:45 pm
So today was my second fill and he missed the port the first time, OUCH!! But then he got it and all was fine. I'm down 8.5lbs this month for a total of 40.5 since surgery on 9/19. I am happy at this point and hope to make my first target of 50lbs by 1/7/08. The only thing I don't like is loosing a lot at the beginning then gaining then loosing. I hate the inconsistency.. I need to work on that.

In need of another fill
on November 24, 2007 11:00 pm
I understand that this takes time but it's frustrating having hunger and the ability to over eat. It is possible to cheat the band and I've done it. I had my fill 11/1 and lost 6lbs in one day. Of course I gained 2 lbs back in a couple days, which I figured would happen because of water. But over the course of the last two weeks I have had little restriction unless I ate too much. I gained back 4lbs. Over the past week I have been working on getting back off and I have but it wasn't easy. I am in need of another fill to help me get through the holidays. My appointment isn't until 12/10 but hopefully I can get in a bit sooner. We'll see. I am down about 37 lbs in just over two months. I know it's good but am wishing it was more. I want to get to 50 by news years. I have just over a month to get busy. I need to get to the gym and start eating better. Lord give me the strength to get through the holidays!!!
