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!

7 WK POST OP Update
on May 23, 2009 9:19 pm
I am now 7 wk post op and I am down from 270 lbs now to 227 lbs.  I still have quite a ways to go but I am so happy with my successes.  For all that I want to do in this life, I just thank God that I can do them healthier.  My kids are constantly telling me how small I am getting and truly that makes me feel really good.

I continue to take my vitamins, get in my protein and liquids and of course make the gym about 3 to 4 times a week.  Just wanted to give everyone an update.  Doing fine and thank you for your encouragement!

5 Week Post op Update
on May 8, 2009 5:57 am
Hi Everybody,

Sorry I have not posted in a while.  but I just been pretty busy lately.  However, doing well, feeling good.  I am 5 weeks post op now.  Before the surgery I was 270 lbs and now I am down to 234 lbs.  I have lost multiple inches  all over my body.  I am down two dress sizes and that feels absolutely wonderful!

I have cleaned out my closet of all the clothes I cannot wear anymore and have donated them to Goodwill.  I have taken out clothes I could not fit and hung them in my closet. Some things I could wear now and some things are hanging there for inspiration till when I can fit into them.  I am so excited with the new changes!

I have started going to the gym religiously with my husband at 5:30 am to get in our workout. He is a great support system to me and encourages me often.   I do a 30 minute cardio on the elliptical machine and a 30 minute weight training alternating my upper body and lower body.  It's work but its worth it! 

ATTENTION ALL LADIES:   I found out something that really works and I thought I would share it with the rest of you.   I bought some solar shorts and a solar waist trimmer belt from Walmart in the excerise section.  I wear these two items with a T-shirt every time I work out.  I have found that doing a workout with these two items has shrinked inches around my waist, hips, buttocks and thighs dramatically.   I have a fear of getting lose skin and I really want to avoid getting a tummy tuck after I lose the weight, so I am finding out by using the waist trimmer and the solar shorts is first shrinking inches around my body, including my stomach and also decreasing "CELLULITE!"   

Yes you heard me right..."CELLULITE  from the back of my legs, underarms, and hips LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE!  It works, try it and see what you think...I am looking fierce!

I am getting my protein in through shakes and different meats like chicken and fish.  For some reason I can't really do the beef or pork right now.  It makes me nauseous, so I stay away from that.  However, I am finding myself a bit more constipated than usual.  My doctor told me to try the 'Miralax' or a stool softner.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't but I am trying to increase my fluids to help things along.

I see my doc again on the 14th of May.  Dr Craig is great!  I know he will be pleased with my results.  Well thats all for now.  I will try to post again after I see my doc.  Hollar back when you guys can...I love reading your responses.

Take care my Gastric family and talk to you soon...
