Surgeon Testimonial

Steven Tersigni, M.D.
First impression of the doc is that he's very quiet and reserved. His exam was quick and very professional. He actually recommended I have the RNY, but I explained the reasons I wanted the band and he agreed with me. He definitely listens to what his clients want. The only thing I'd have wanted different is that I'd have a follow up appointment the next day with him to ask all the questions I needed. He did visit me after I woke up, but I was too groggy to think of any questions. Robin the nutritionist is the best! So are the other ladies I dealt with in his office. There is a very structured aftercare program including a diet, support group meetings, and fills. He addressed the risks of surgery very seriously, and I was definitely scared about what I was going into. I count that as a very good thing. Overall, I'd pick him again in a heartbeat. My scars are all in a line at my waist, I really like their placement and their size. He seems like a very caring man and expert surgeon.

8/4 [224.4,la] 
La diet going so-so.  I love being able to eat so much.  It's all healthy stuff, but it's hard to eat it all in three meals, so I have to do it in 5 or 6.
8/8 [223LA;224.2-46.9%home]
Woohoo, all is apparently going well.  This averages 1700Calories, 46%Carbs,27%Fat,27%Prot.  I went to OldNavy and tried size14 and it would not go above my thighs.  Size 16 is tight but just right.  I'm lighter than LIVIU!  Woohoo, that has been one of my goals forever.  I'm pretty happy :)

Not much change... getting tighter.   I'm starting to get stuck on scrambled eggs, salmon, and salad again.  Might have to go for another unfill.
8/29 [224.6-46.7%home]
Getting even tighter.  I'm going to cottage cheese, tofu, and very soft veggies.  Having trouble with breads, solid protein, etc.  Getting stuck every day, sliming every other day, pb every other day :(  I made an appointment with Dr. Fitzpatrick for Oct 10.  I wonder if I can wait until then.  I am having reflux, every other day. My period was supposed to start, I wonder if I'm tighter because of that or because of losing weight?
