Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Stanish, M.D.
Bottom line.....He is a very good surgeon. I would recommend him to all that has this surgery. I think that his staff is very good. His aftercare program is very well put together and all questions no matter how small are answerd without any attitude. Sometimes his staff are to relaxed with patients which can make things strange...not bad it takes time to get used to.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
It was a day to day struggle that would never end. I would get so down on my self about eating that it would disgust me. I knew that eating foods that was hi in fat or sugar was bad but it dindnt matter to me...I did it anyway. sort of a self sabatge that I would do. I had no will power

    Thursday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

The hardest thing for me is .....  staying focused.  Not eating anything that we are not supposed to eat.  Carbs, things with sugar in them, to much caffeine or pop.   I would recommend going to support groups when you need that reminder that what you did before did not work and it will never work.  What you do now is the only thing that is important. So "stay focused" my friends.

Post 2 years and I am still 175lbs lost.  I have not had any problems that I would consider major.. I still get the occasonal nuasea when I eat something to fast or if i am not supposed to have...but that is a good thing because it keeps me from cheating.. As I have said before I would do it all over again in a heart beat.
