Surgeon Testimonial

Joseph Naim, M.D
My first impression of him was cofidence he's very gentle with the softest hands he was not my first choice Dr. Nazarian was but he wasn't able to do the surgery because i needed it done at a COE...so he passed me on to Dr. Naim and i couldn't have been happier...he perfomed my surgery and i had severe swelling and Dr. Naim was not only there every day sometimes more than once a day but he was on call for me and my family 24 hours a day and always answered his cell with a smile in his voice.... Once night my mother called him histerical because she was so worried because i couldn't keep anything down and he talked to her like an old friend...i felt like he held my hand through the entire process and i wouldn't have asked for a different surgeon he was well worth the 3'000$ i had to pay....

Family Gatheringz
on May 6, 2007 9:31 pm
Okay so today im saying goodbye to 45LBS and hello to family gatherings OMG this was a tuff weekend my parents had fight night at the house and there was so much freaking food and so many people eating so many helpings of it..it was the first real family gathering that i've attended since my surgery and it was hard...i missed my fam so much and love when we're together but everyone eats constantly and sometimes i feel like this weird outsider with my 1 chicken wing and cup of ice....my fam is sooo freaking supportive but it's just hard watching everyone socialize around the big table with plates piled high and for some crazy reason which prolly isn't even reality i feel like i'm different then the rest of my family.... so i snacked on some sunflower seeds and after about an hour i was talking loud laughing and cracking on my uncles like everyone else..i was so scared for this day to come because i thought everyone would be looking at me or commenting on my weight loss (which they did) but after about 15 min. they were on to the next thing and life was back to normal... at times i felt kinda left out because food was and is always going to be the way we get together and show each other love and there is not one thing wrong with that i just cant eat as much as everyone else which is a blessing and not a bad thing...i'm so happy with the results of this surgery and pretty soon i'll be flying past my goal...only 19 more pounds to go.....yayyyy only 4 days until i leave for JAMAICA>> beautiful beaches and relaxation here i come.

Life has been sooooo streesssffuulll!! lol i'm going through alot with my family and my boyfriend but that hasn't made this harder it's made me more dead set on getting this weight off and being a better healthier person...i've started to get my but up and work out and you can't even understand (okay okay you all understand) it feels so darn good to be able to walk almost 2 miles burn almost 400 of the 600 calories i'm eating and not feel like someone hit me in the chest with a hammer or that i'm about to die...i'm now 25 as of march 24th and for the first time in 4 years i went to the beach, sea world, and the zoo i walked all day day after day and never got tired or thought about food and was ready for the next adventure....for my big 25th my parent got me a trip to JAMAICA woooo and i'm going to enjoy myself and i can fit on the plan without a seatbelt extender...i'll probably still be jammed a lil but the seatbelt will fit and this weekend i'm going shopping with my friends for a swimsuit lol omg life is good and getting better every single day that i wake up with my new tool i love this surgery and i wouldn't change my choice for a bucket of money.( one dollar bills)....okay this was sooo long but i missed my bloggy blog.! love and peace 4 real!!!

My Story

My name is Kylah and I've made the choice to change my life for the better. I've always been over weight, but my weight ballooned after my brother died in 2005 and today I have a record weight of 316 lbs. I didn't want to live in fear of having a stroke from high blood pressure or loosing my vision or limbs from diabetes at just 24 years old and I didn't want my parent to loose their other child so I'm hoping that this surgery helps me provide a fun healthy long life for myself. I'm scared because I've always been somewhat heavy and I don't know what a thinner me will even look like, I have fears of loosing my boyfriend or looking in the mirror post op and not recognizing myself but I know that if I don't do this I'll eventually loose my life. I want to play softball and I want to live my life like my peers. I no longer want to go to amusement parks and just walk around terrified that i won't fit on the rides, i never want to ask for a seatbelt extender on an airplane again. And the next concert I go to i want to fit comfortably in the seat without feeling like i should have purchased 2 or even worse like I'm going to break the seat. Please continue to check back with me and my profile in the future...the big day is 2.27.07 just about 22 days from today and i couldn't be more excited! wish me well and please please share your experiences and advice with me!
