Surgeon Testimonial

Craig L. Floch
After doing an extensive research on Bariatric Surgery, I attended a Weight Loss Seminar conducted by Dr. Craig Floch in Fairfield, CT. My first impression of him was that he was very knowledgeable, informative, and professional in manner. I knew right away that he was going to be the Surgeon to perform my surgery. Since that time, I have not regretted my decision as he has proven to be very professional and not so medically minded that he is not humanly grounded to his patients. And that is one of the many things I love about Dr. Craig as he made both me and my family feel very comfortable and reassured us along the way. The office staff is just as outstanding and are always easily accessible with a remarkable Aftercare program to their patients even years later. Since the success of the surgery, my health is great and my life is good. Presently, I am pleased to be be an active Advocate of Bariatric Surgery and honored to be one of the many faces of Fairfield County Bariatrics. DR. CRAIG YOU ARE THE BEST IN MY BOOK!

3 wk post update
on April 21, 2009 3:09 pm
Hi Everybody,

Just wanted to let you all know that I am doing good and feeling good.  I started keeping a food journal and documenting my journey on Fitday.com.  It's great!  I have also started incorporating "The Leg Magic" system to work out my lower body.  I have omitted the abdominal exercises until I get the okay from my doctor but it is sure kicking my butt.

However, each day I do the video, I am getting stronger and I can go at my own pace.  I seem to be losing inches all over my body right now.  I am at 243.2 from 270 right now and look forward to continual shrinkage. 

My coats have gotten a bit large for me and my big jeans too!  I love seeing the results.  Keep me in your prayers and chat with you again...

That incision site seems to be healing fine.  There is no more discharge as its starting to dry up and look better. THANK GOD!

Found out my favorite food right now is "creamy grits."  God do I love these grits! I make it with part water and skim milk, butter, garlic and seasoning salt.  I place about 2 oz on a saucer and it is absolutely delightful! I LOVE THIS, I LOVE THIS! Try it, this dish is filled with protein and calcium.

UPDATE: Incision Issues
on April 14, 2009 7:35 pm
Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update, I am 2 wks and 4 days post op and overall doing well.  My incisions seem to be healing nicely as the bandages are off and the skin is healin.  However, noticed a little tenderness around one of my incisions.  Had to go to the doc for them to look at it.  Seems I may be a bit allergic to the dissolving sutures they use to stitch the incisions up after the operation.  Experienced some discharge and tenderness from  the incison but other than feeling a little sore I am doing fine.  I was told to use peroxide and antibacterial ointment and it should be fine.  Otherwise, I am doing well.

Thanks to everyone for all of your care and support. during this time.  You just don't know how good it feels to get your friendly replys and encouraging emails.  Thanks so much....
