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.

OCTOBER 2008
posted on 10/12/08 9:04 am
10/12 [225-wii]  I visited Dr. Fitzpatrick on the 10th and got a complete unfill.  She took out 7.4cc's.   I ate salmon, chicken, and burgers with no problem.  I'm back on the LA plan since I can eat salad, chicken, salmon, bread, etc with out pain.
10/26 [226.8-scale] Well, I went back on LA plan, nothing positive was happening, instead I was gaining some weight!  So I'm on a modified Atkins type of diet (basically ingesting less than 20g of carbs and lowfat diet to boot).  It's working like they all do at first.  My goal is to lose 10 pounds by bandiversary in 3? weeks.  The doc said she expected me to come back the next month for a fill and that I'll most likely gain 10 pounds!  That is my other motivation for making this work.   I was down to 222 at some point but I don't remember when.  If I lose to 220-216 I'll be down 50 pounds from surgery date.  I was going to be a slower loser because I refused to give up anything.  I was tired of diets and looking for an easy fix I guess.  I didn't think I was at the time, but I realize that it is what I wanted.  I was always aware that this diet took determination and work but I didn't want to rearrange my insides and take the quicker fix.  I'll keep on running with the Wii and doing this Atkins-like diet and hopefully I'll meet my goal of 50 pounds lost.
