Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Stanish, M.D.
dr. stanish is wonderful. i found him to be a dedicated & compassionate person. with a
heart to help overweight patients who are
willing to change their past habits through
seminars, counselling and above all a desire
in their live for a change. to help in anyway
for his patients to reach their goal of becoming
a well in-formed, healthy and happy individual. the before surgical staff of insurance, dieticians and counselors were/are
fantastic. his surgical and after surgery staff
were more than kind, comical and compassionate, as well. he also stresses in order to acheive the patients goal, they must
be willing to continue with his structured after care program. i truly, recommend methodist
s/lake weightloss center and dr. paul stanish
to anyone overweight and ready to make a
change in their live.

HELP
on September 20, 2007 1:29 pm

god bless,
i am kind of discouraged today.  i have been watching what i eat
and drink. i weighed myself today and i havent lost any more weight.
i know i've lost inches.  when i put my clothes on i can see and feel
a difference.  but i want to see the pounds go as well.  i know it's early
yet since my surgery.  and i havent had a fill yet. but i am exercising and
looking forward to my change.

My Story

GOD BLESS 
MY STORY IS SIMILIAR TO EVERYONE ELSE'S. OVERWEIGHT SINCE CHILDHOOD AND HAVE TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERY 
DIET THERE IS.  WITH SOME SUCCESS ONLY TO REGAIN MORE WEIGTH THAN I LOSE.   DEPRESSION, HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE & CHOLESTEROL.  SWELLING OF THE LEGS, ANKLES & HANDS.  I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN  OUTDOORS PERSON INSPITE OF BEING OVERWEIGHT.  BUT AS THE YEARS PROGRESSED , I FOUND MYSELF,  NOT BEING ABLE TO ENJOY THE FUN & SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE.  WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP BECAUSE OF SHORTNES OF BREATH, PAIN IN KNEES, BACK & FEET.  I WENT INTO KIDNEY FAILURE IN 1998. I WAS BLESSED FOR AFTER A SHORT TIME ON DYALYSIS, MY KIDNEYS BEGAN
TO FUNCTION AGAIN. THAT WAS A BIG WAKEUP CALL.  AND ALTHOUGH I TRIED EVEN HARDER TO LOSE WEIGHT.  THE POUNDS SLOWLY CAME BACK AND WITH A VENGENCE.   I FOUND MYSELF IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR(2007) AT 279 LBS.  I WAS
MISERABLE AND I FELT I WAS DYING SLOWLY.  I COULD NOT SLEEP WELL AND TRYING TO DO MY JOB WAS TOTALLY  A MISERABLE TIME.  I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE AND WALK AND USE MOBILE EQUIPMENT.  I COULD BARELY MOVE. I ASKED GOD FOR DIRECTIONS AND STRENGTH TO CHANGE MY LIFE.  AND I STARTED RESEARCHING WEIGHTLOSS SURGERY.  AND HERE I AM.  AS OF 9/06/07( MY NEW BIRTHDAY) I HAD LAPBANDSURGERY.  AND I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.   MY PRESENT WEIGHT IS 247.  I AM BLOWN AWAY.  I LOOK TO MY FUTURE EARGERLY AND PRAISE GOD EACH DAY.
