Surgeon Testimonial

Christina Li, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Li was that she is very confident, caring, warm yet stern and straight forward...PERFECT FOR ME!! As I completed my weight loss documentation, her office staff was very helpful and friendly, especially Tammy and Phyllis. I have not had an unpleasant experience at this point and to be quit honest, that's huge because I am the most particular about the services that I receive in any setting. KUDOS DR. LI and STAFF! The nutritionist NANCY is great also, she knows her stuff and teaches you in a way that you will remember to apply everyday.
Dr. Li was very informative and honest about the risk of surgery; however she was also very comforting and confident. Her surgical competence and bedside manner is phenomenal and very well appreciated!! DR. LI ROCKS and HER HUGS ARE THE BEST

FOUR DAYS AFTER SURGERY
on April 16, 2010 7:55 am
Ok so Im doing well, I can get around pretty good, walking, breathing, and sipping, and sipping,  and sipping, and sipping, and sipping...

My head and my taste buds are screaming for food but I know thats just the emotional withdrawl, I couldn't put food in this belly of mine if I wanted to...

I feel really sore at this point and am looking forward to things progressing.I see my surgeon on Tuesday so I will keep you all posted.

THE TIME HAS COME......FINALLY
on April 5, 2010 1:37 am


OK SO I HAVE COMPLETED ALL OF THE REQUIRED TEST ( PSYCH, EGD, XRAYS, ULTRASOUND, EKG, ETC...), I HAVE ALSO MANAGED SOMEHOW TO LOSE THE RECOMMENDED WEIGHT (10LBS FOR ME) JUST ONE LAST PRE-OP APPT. ON WEDNESDAY. MY PAPERWORK WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE INSURANCE CO. TODAY ( NO WORRIES THERE ) AND I FINALLY HAVE A DATE  APRIL 12,2010 WILL BE THE REBIRTH OF ME. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED IN A WAY THAT WILL ALLOW ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO START OVER, AND TREAT MY BODY WITH LOVE AND RESPECT...I CAN NO LONGER TAKE MY HURT, ANGER, SADNESS, LONELINESS, BOREDOM, OR ANY OTHER UNPLEASANT EMOTION OUT ON MY BODY, ITS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE.

I PROMISE MYSELF TO WORK THE HELL OUT OF THIS TOOL. I SO LOOK FORWARD TO THE REST OF MY JOURNEY AND I PRAY THAT GOD CONTINUES TO GUIDE ME IN MY PROCESS!

I AM SO PUMPED UP I CANT SLEEP AT ALL, SURGERY IN A WEEK, OH MY...

MY WIFE KEEPS TELLING ME HOW I'M GOING TO BE A PIECE OF WORK, I TRY TO DENY IT BUT SHE KNOWS ALL TO WELL (THAT'S A GOOD THING) WHEN WE MET I WAS WEARING A SIZE 16, NOW I'M IN 24s. SHE SAYS I ALREADY CARRY MYSELF WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE BUT LORD HELP ME, I TRY MY BEST TO KEEP IT SEXY BUT ITS HARD AT 324LBS, I SOOOOOO LOOK FORWARD TO DROPPING ABOUT 125-150 OF THOSE AND WHEN I DO...UM UM UM!!!

SERIOUSLY THOUGH I SPEND SO MUCH TIME FIGHTING MY HEALTH AND MY PHYSICAL PAIN THAT ABOVE ALL THE SEXINESS IN THE WORLD A HEALTHY ME IS KEY.....

NOW IF I CAN JUST FIND A WORKOUT PARTNER IN THE BALTIMORE AREA I WOULD BE ELATED!!!

THANK YOU LORD!!!
