Surgeon Testimonial Christina Li, M.D. I finally met with my Surgeon. I decided to go with Dr. Li, she was more readily available and I like the idea of a female Dr. She was very chatty and down to earth. She didn't look at me like I was some kind of freak. She was more than willing to help me, answer questions and anything else that I needed. She even gave me a hug before I left the office!! That really made me feel at home. Everyone in the office was so helpful and friendly and was a fountain of useful information. They were super organized and had everything they needed right there at their fingertips. Everyone knew what they were doing and I had the utmost confidence in them. I don't think I can say that there is anything that I didn't like about her or anyone that I met while in the office. The only thing was I felt a little overwhelmed when I got to the meeting with Karen to go over all the tests I have to have done. She rushed a little and I felt a little out of control with trying to remember all the information, I think that is just because she does it all day long, but it might be worth slowing down and making sure everyone gets it. The entire office is focused on not only the actual procedure, but all the before care and extremely stressed about the after care. The goal is for this to be a long term thing so they push for post op support groups, follow ups with the doc and with the nut. They have been completely open and honest about the risks and complications involved and asked if I would like to discuss any of them. I thought the entire experience was great, they answered all questions and often pre-empted questions, Dr. Li herself was fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone. I felt that both her bedside manner and her surgical competence was outstanding and I also think that both are equally important. rnDuring and post surgery Dr. Li has been absolutely fabulous. Every time I see her she gives me a big hug and a smile. She gives you praise as well as tells you what you need to improve on. I feel great about everything. Member Interests
babygirlz22's Journey Click Here To View Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery. weight has been a problem my whole life. I remember being as young as 8 and dieting. I was the largest in any setting I was in and couldn't share embarrassing thing with even my closest friends. I lived with a constant reminder every day as my sister constantly teased me about being bigger than her even though she was older. My Mother always used to tell us we couldn't leave the table until our plate was clean, it took me a long time to realize you don't have to clear your plate if you are full.

My Story It's been a while since I was on here, but, I have been over weight my whole life. Since the day I was born. I really have tried to lose weight and never been successful. I had my surgery on July 11th 2006. I have been working out and doing a great job with my diet and continue to lose weight. My husband and children are very supportive of my endeavor and for that I am grateful |
