Surgeon Testimonial

Amir Moazzez M.D.
I first saw Dr. Moazzez at the Seminar that was offered at INOVA Fair Oaks back in June. He seemed to be very educated on all the surgeries he performs. I was very impressed with him. During my first visit however, I was not impressed with the amount of time I had to wait to be seen. My appointment was at 1:45, and I was not seen by Dr. Moazzez until 3:15. I was getting VERY impatient. Once Dr. Moazzez came in he got started right away explaining everything, and I mentioned that I was at the seminar and had decided to do the LAP band, but after attending the seminar, I decided it wasn't the right thing for me and decided to go with the gastric bypass laparoscopically. He explained everything in more detail and settled my mind that there wasn't a doubt that I would be denied. He said I would more than likely be approved because I met all the criteria. I hope so!

The office staff was very nice. They seem to really enjoy their job. They are always very helpful when I call to ask questions.

Here is a picture of me and Dr. Moazzez at my last appt. 9/27/06

    Life is for Living ……. Life is a gift we're given each and every day. Dream about tomorrow, but live for today. To live a little, you've got to love a whole lot. Love turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. Life's a journey always worth taking. Take time to smell the roses... and tulips... and daffodils... and lilacs... and sunflowers... Count blessings like children count stars. The secret of a happy life isn't buried in a treasure chest... it lies within your heart. It's the little moments that make life big. Don't wait. Make memories today. Celebrate your life! Author Unknown

I didn't realize it, but it has been 2 years since I decided to have the WLS.  I was reading my archived posts and saw that my posts go back to 2005.  WOW!  Time flies.  It's amazing what can happen in 2 years.  If someone told me I'd be divorced, and be in a size 4/6 and weigh 138 I'd have said NO WAY! LOL ;-)  Looking back it was the BEST decision I EVER made.  Having the WLS was a life saver for me.  I feel great and I look great too.  I feel so healthly now too.  I don't get out of breathe when I walk and my legs don't ache anymore and I am not ashamed to wear shorts anymore.  I am so excited that I get to wear a bikini for the 1st time in my life this year!  I bought 4 this year!! ;-)  Another good thing was losing the 190 pounds of my ex-husband. LOL.  I don't mean for it to sound mean, but he wasn't very supportive about my weight.  He was very verbally abusive to me and it took a toll on me emotionally and I couldn't deal with it anymore.  There were other factors, which I wish not to disclose on here, but can say that he was unfaithful to me, but I didn't find out about it until AFTER we were divorced, but I had that "woman's intuition".  So I knew. 

Any who.....it's just amazing looking back and seeing what all has happened in 2 years and the journey I have taken to get here.  I wouldn't change anything I have done.  I'd do the WLS again in a heartbeat if I had to do it again all over.  Sometimes I wish I could have done it sooner, maybe my marriage could have been saved or been better.......guess I'll never know.  

Life goes on and so mine goes.......I love it!! :p

Be on the watch out for girlurugly1.......this person has NOTHING better to do than to leave nasty messages on blogs.

Whomever this person is, he/she is just trying to make me feel bad about myself and guess what U DID NOT SUCCEED. I spent 8 years of my life with a husband who belittled me because of my weight, and I have opened my eyes and have taken control of my self-esteem and neither this person or anyone will EVER put me down AGAIN.  I am strong.......I am proud, and I am not ashamed that I had gastric bypass.  I look DAMN good considering what I looked like 1 year ago.  People who take the time to leave messages that are not nice, have nothing better to do with their time and they MUST be lacking the same self-esteem I was lacking over 8 years ago......  Grow up and get a life.........

That's all I have to say about that.... GO AHEAD AND LEAVE ME ANOTHER NASTY MESSAGE.... I DARE YOU TOO.....I'll bite back just as hard.  Whomever you are, you need to learn how to spell......you idiot.
