Surgeon Testimonial

Laurence K. Tanaka M.D.
I was way nervous to meet Dr. Tananka. I had my mom their with me. He made me feel at ease. I just love him. When he walks in the door he gets straight to business, and once he is done, you get to ask your questions. He is a wonderful man.

Getting Too Big???
on December 17, 2007 6:13 am
So my 14's are getting too big....I can't believe it...this is great.  Although I'm not loosing a whole lot in pounds, my body must be catching up right now.  I am down almost 85 lbs.  This is great!!!!  I have 7 more pounds to hit onederland.  I can't wait.  I am hoping to hit that by New Years, don't know if that will happen.  I will have to really watch everything I put in my mouth.  I am the happiest I have been in a long time, I feel good, my daughter is doing good, and I love my boyfriend.

My Story

I have been heavy almost my whole life, I was a heavy but very active child, I played softball year round.  Not until high school really was when I lost weight and looked good.  Then my junior year hit and I got pregnant, well let me tell you, all hell broke loose.  With a very unhappy pregnancy, came a lot of very unhappy eating.  Well my daughter is 12 now, and still haven't lost the baby weight....guess I can't say it's baby weight anymore.  I have gone up and down, but have not been skinny since I have had her.  I did get married 2 years ago this last March, but am now divorcing unfortunately.  He was happier being alone, and couldn't handle being a father to a growing girl with a growing attitude, if ya know what I mean.  He hated he wasn't in control of everything in his life anymore because there were 2 other people to add to his life. 

 Anyways, enough about him.  I am ready to be happy again, I have great friends, great family and the most wonderful daughter in the world to help support me on this.  So here I go on my journey, if anyone has any suggestions to help me through it, it would be more then appreciated.
