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....

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have not been under 2oo lbs for a very long time...I know to some people that doesnt seem too much over weight..but when you are 5ft 2in thats a lot of weight to carry around....I have tried everything to loose the weight...diets...not eating and everything in between

follow -up on the family function
on June 25, 2008 5:06 pm
So...The family couldnt believe that I had lost 45 pounds and gone down to a size reg 18....They all said i looked great....As far as eating...well...My down fall used to be cake...didnt matter what kind...I LOVED IT ALL !!!!!!

So....I went I saw and i didnt eat !!!!!
I was so proud of myself...I must admit that it was calling out my name ( actually yelling ) but I ignored it....and left satisfied with what i ate....
So another mile stone on the weight loss trail...Yeah for me !!!!

Bad week
on June 12, 2008 5:16 am
Well this week can stop and be forgotten.....
First I have stopped at 175 lbs..I have not lost anything all week......YUCK !!!!!
Then for 2 days in a row I felt like i could throw up at anytime...but instead I was on the toilet half the day....So needless to say didnt get enough protein or fluids...yes even drinking plain old water made me feel sick !!!!
Then yesterday got a phone call from a friend telling me that a very good friend and ex co-worker had shot himself and left 2 young kids and a wife behind...just because she wanted out of the marriage....WHAT THE HECK !!!!!
I am so mad but sad at the same time....I dont know how to feel and how to get past this....then to find out that his funeral is on Monday ...My Birthday ????
I feel like I want to cry but cant cause I am so mad at him right now !!!!!
CONFUSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope that today will be better
