Surgeon Testimonial

Aviv Ben-Meir, M.D.
The first time I met him he seemed very straight and narrow....I am a happy go lucky person and he just didnt seem to be able to joke !!!! But the day of my surgery he came to see me before I went down and was a diffrent person ....and during my stay he was great...joking and even laughing...He knows his stuff and does a good job....He answers all the questions I have and has a great staff....

Feeling better
on September 21, 2008 10:27 am
Well I am almost 6 months post-op...WOW can you believe it ??...Its amazing how fast time goes when you are happier !!!
I am feeling much brighter now ...much better than the last couple weeks....I have no idea what was draggin me down...
Fall is almost upon us and as much as I hate to say this i think it is my favorite time of the year !!!
I used to like it because i could cover my fat up with big and baggy sweaters...But this year i am looking forward to wearing much smaller and better looking ones !!!
I am down to 150lbs and about 1 month away from size 14....I am still amazed how fast it has gone and still getting rid of my big clothes...sad to see some of them go...I had some really cute big clothes...but happy to see smaller sizes taken over
Have a good week...

Depressed !!!!
on September 7, 2008 6:50 pm
Well...i dont know what is going on with myself...but for the last couple of days I have felt alone and sad and fat....
I am offically 155 lbs and fitting into a size 16 but feeling that my stomach is still fat..i know that i am only 5 1/2 months out and have still a ways to go...
My friend /neighbour doesnt come visit me anymore unless I am outside and even then she usually just waves and then goes into her house...??? We never go anywhere anymore.....
If it wasnt for my boyfriend I think I would have gone crazy by now....He is always there for me and says all the right things...
I hope i get over theese feelings soon...I DONT LIKE THEM !!!

My Story

Well...where to start ????
I wasnt always fat...before I got married and had kids I was actually very small and skinny...Then came marriage (1981) and then of course my 2 wonderful kids....1982 and 1985....I gained some weight with both of them but lost some too....My Ex was a millatry man so we moved around a lot..lost a lot of friends ....So finally we moved back to his home town WVA and started to get comfortable....didnt know anyone but his family....They were always into our business.....that when we started having problems...and i started looking to food for comfort...Then the divorce came ...The best thing that happened to me but then more weight too....
So for the next 5 years I was always on a diet and going no where.....Dating sucks when you are overweight and unhappy....
I finally met a great guy who I am still with and has been wonderful and so very understanding....He didnt think I needed the surgery but when he found out about all the medical problems that go along with it he said "lets do this " and has been awesome
