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.

I bought some size 16 jeans at Old Navy. They're pretty tight, but they do go on and close! It doesn't feel like an NSV because I feel like I should be so much further along... I bought some South Beach frozen dinners to supplement my diet. I will try logging food to see if I can get into the losing mode again. Ugghhh....
05/09/2008 [231 pounds] -39 lost ****6-month BANDIVERSARY*****
Well... six months have gone by.  I've lost 35.4pounds since surgery day, 39 since my all-time high.  (Yes, I know I've hit the 1-2pound a week goal dang it!!)  I went from size 20 Lane Bryant to size 16(tight) Old Navy.  I couldv'e been waaay further in the process if I'd stuck to the diet (1/4c food 3xday), but I refused to diet.  I listened to my body and if I was hungry (no restriction), I ate.  I didn't deny myself anything, just ate in moderation.  It's the way I wanted to approach this, I was tired of extreme diets, losing then gaining, losing then gaining more.  I want to figure out a way to live with this band of mine without having it dictate my life.

Am I happy I did this? Well, I wish I was one of those people that lose weight  like CRAZY,  but since I'm not, I'm content.  Not happy about it, but content.  If I exercise, I lose.  If I don't, I don't.  That's been my journey so far in a nutshell. The effort I put in equals the results I receive.  Personally, for my body, I get mediocre results with mediocre effort :P

I encourage all "turtle" newbies out there not to get frustrated or depressed about their slow loss...  My skin looks great still, my over-hanging stomach is now lifting itself back up so I have no more line there that has fat folded over, my whole stomach is starting to look pretty flat :)  I think I have abs under there!!!  My inner thigh skin is keeping up to the weight loss, it's not hanging (though it could be because that's the second place my fat resides).  I'm losing the hip-fat roll, it's smoothing out to curvey goodness...  My breasts haven't lost their size unfortunately.  Got all my labs back and every single number except one have gone down tremendously.  The biggest difference is in the liver tests.  I've gone from numbers in the 40s to in the 10s.  There are healthy things happening inside that I can't see, but are good for me!
