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.

JUNE 2008

06/09 [231.0]  I threw up very badly  for the first time ever for about one minute yesterday (EVIL, EVIL scrambled eggs, brussel sprouts?), so it will be liquidy stuff for me the next few days.  I'm still sticking to the program though!
Day One:
B: Shake
S: Cottage Cheese
L: Ricotta Cheese
S: Egg Flower Soup
D: Cottage Cheese
S: Shake
06/10-06/15  Tight, tight, tight.  Mostly liquids.
06/16  Uuugghh.... still on liquids... maybe I can't ride this out.  I haven't even gotten my period yet, but I am tight.  My period was due.  This is something that should be researched for us women that have irregular periods.  Since I get tight at TOM, I must be having some of the changes happen, but not all (bleeding), weird.
06/17 [229.6] Getting a little looser, but still pretty tight. Considering more of an unfill.  Yesterday I ate protein cereal without a problem.  Today, I'm stuck on it.  I started eating it after 2 cups of water. I wonder if that makes a dif. I measured 1 cup, ate 1/2cup.  Maybe I am full?  I don't feel hungry anymore.. Yep, I was full. 
06/18[228] Definitely looser now.  I was able to eat chicken breast, turkey wrap, even eggs.  woohooo!
06/29 I'm super tight again.  I've been tight for 4 days now.  I'm sooo sick of this!!! I just tried eating the chicken and tofu from a chinese dish.  It was soaked in juices, I reheated it in the microwave by adding 1/4c of water to it.  You'd think that's enough moistness????  NO!  It scratched going down (pea-sized bites, chewed 20-30 times).  Stuck episodes. Took me 40 minutes to eat ONE tofu and ONE small strip of chicken!   Ok, by now I'm feeling pretty heart-burny so I give up.  I went and drank 1/4 cup of whole milk and it felt sooo good going down.  It soothed my throat.  So I made some real oatmeal with whole milk, and guess what??? The 1.5cups went down without a problem!!!  After the hell with the chicken and tofu!  Aaarrrgghhh, maybe I'll never learn this band and how it works!  So am I too tight? Am I just eating the wrong foods? Am I doing this all wrong??? Two hours later.... Having some reflux  :((( I took two tums and feel better, but it seems like I'm tasting tums for an hour.  I think they're trying to come back up??
06/30
Well I was a little looser today.  I had some miso noodle soup, and a sandwich with turkey breast and melted swiss and tomato.  It did not go down easy, and I had some weird sensations in my esophagus, but it did go down and stay down.  I don't know what to say...
