Surgeon Testimonial

Archana Ramaswamy, MD
My first impression of her was wow she looks so young, as we spoke she showed her knowledge well.The staff at the office are the greatest anything you need they are willing to help you.I had to get some testing done and one of the test in particular had me a bit worried they were putting me to sleep for it and she came in and calmed my fears with just talking to me a bit. She covered everything there was to cover about the surgery and now I cant wait to see her on the 21st in the OR

Well it has been a while since I have posted on here, been working a lot since I have felt like a new person and the good thing is I work circles around the young ones at work!!!! This old lady has some strenghth! haha..... I am 4lbs from onederland....so in a year I have lost 130 pounds! Have had my issues over the last year and there are still times that I wonder why the hell I did this surgery, but those are the days that my pouch thinks food sucks wind and my head thinks I am still 334 plus pounds.... I now shop in regular stores for regular sizes and can wear some of my daughters clothes. Anyway looking forward to talking to you all soon

My face... my face is actually well pretty I never thought I would say that about myself.. but now that the fat is melting away I see a pretty face under that. My arms look like I should run around humming the bat man theme Na na na na na na na na BATMAN with the batwings that are forming...my "girls" well lets just say that going from a 50DDD to a 46DD and still losing has kinda made them go south...I have a defined buttocks now instead of an area that was suppose to be my butt running directly into an area that was suppose to be my leg.....I bought GIRL shoes not mens shoes but girl you know pretty lady shoes my first pair in years and they fit!!!!!!!

This journey we are on sometimes feels as if we are on it alone even though we know we arent I mean HELLLLLOOO look at the web site and all the people on here that have had surgery. Makes me wonder how they made it sometimes. You know there are times when I want to look at my DH and say wake the heck up and listen to me and not listen at me.....or better yet just let me talk things out and DO NOT TRY TO FIX THEM there is nothing for you to fix I just need to talk.... but he doesnt get that either.....Moving up here to Missouri I left behind all my friends and then I moved to a small town that doe not really accept new people even when you are nice and all but I have all you and for that thank you

I know I havent posted in a while but with the infection I couldnt sit up for long and then our computer crashed. Things are getting better and I do not hurt as I was before, and now we have the computer back. All the kids are starting to get excited about halloween and trying to decide what they want to be. We have church parties, friends parties and trick or treating to get in. The youth group is having a bonfire and the cost is a can of food for the food bank that our church has so we are going to be a busy family. DH put off working for three weeks to be with me and so last week and this week he has been out of town and I hate it alot but he has to work. Anyway just wanted you all to know that I am good and I pray you all are too.

My Story

This is the beginning of my Livin Large Life

When I was in the 3rd grade I remember going to Sears to get back to school clothing, I could no longer fit in the regular clothing area and they took us over to the Pretty Plus selections. The main problem with that was I was in the 3rd grade and the clothing looked like mini me's of my grandmothers closet. I continued to add weight most my life,  I was active in school I played softball, volleyball, ran track was cheerleader, played basketball and when I say I played I mean I started not sat on the bench simply wearing a uniform. But I still gained weight. Today i am 41 years old and weigh 333 I have diabetes, sleep apnea, bad knees and feel tired and old all the time ( for you young ones information 41 is not old lol). I have been on my journey towards the surgery since April of this year 2007 but without the support of my kids and my fiance I would of lost my way a few times. People always wonder why would a girl with all this going for her let herself get fat, they never know the things that go on behind closed doors. They do not understand why you might eat all the time even when you arent hungry or why that 7th soda pop of the day taste as good as the first one and you could go for about 5 more before the day is up. My best friend growing up was 87 lbs soaking wet, and she would always say Bobbie you wouldn't be you if you ever lost weight and that ws one of my biggest fears what if I lost myself in the midst of all this. Well guess what I remember being a damn good scavenger hunter and if I get lost along the way I am sure that I will find my way back home and make it a better healthier and happier place for all that reside there.
I can not wait till I can say Livin Large was a way of the past!!!
