Surgeon Testimonial

Marek Lutrzykowski, M.D.
From the beginning, I was impressed with Dr. L's knowledge and concern. I will be having a procedure that is different from most called a sleeve gastrectomy. It is actually the first part of the DS. Dr. L is the first surgeon who actually said he could help me, being a Crohn's patient. I was told that as a Crohn's patient there are a few different risks involved, but Dr L explained them all in detail and I have great confidence in him.rnHe stresses that you must follow the after care and attend support meetings and I intend to follow these.

What a year!
posted on 1/1/09 3:10 pm
Well, it has been 9 months since my surgery.  I am still having issues with my eating.  Want to eat  things that I know are not good for me.  Unfortunately the bad things seem to go down way too easily.  But, that being said, I am now down 115 pounds!!!  I have lost more than my elderly aunt weighs and I have CURVES.  I am down from a size 30-32 to an 18-20. 
I wonder how much I would have been down had I made only good choices.  But, I am happy where I am and determined to make this work.  I still have a way to go, my doctor says at least 80 more pounds. 
Tuesday was my birthday and I turned 54.  Amazingly, this was the first birthday in 25 years that I weighed less than 300 pounds.  I am so thankful to have had this chance at a new life.  God has granted me an opportunity that I believed would never happen to me because of my Crohn's disease.  I look forward to 2009 as one of the best years of my life!
