Surgeon Testimonial

Ki Hyun Oh M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Oh came at the orientation. He was thorough in his explanations & the importance of following his instructions for the most success. He was also humorous, which was a surprise since I had heard otherwise. I feel very good about his surgical competence and really like the lifelong follow-up.

    Thursday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers in our lives!

It's been a month since I posted last? Where has the time gone?

The weight loss is changing because there is less and less to lose. I still have saddle bags to lose, but they're coming off!

I just got my May lab results back. My vitamin A and D are still down, coming up but still low. Same with my iron. So I will continue to take additional supplements. And my surgeon wants me to increase my protein to 150g a day. The numbers are getting better but still need improvement.

WOW moment:

Had to buy a nice outfit last week for my boss's memorial service. So I brought a size 10 into the dressing room (because that the size of jeans I've been wearing for the last month or so and are getting saggy in the butt) and two 8s because I was hoping to be able to get into them. So I tried on an 8 first ... they were sooo big! Tried on the other 8 which was a different brand/cut. Still too big! So I had my daughter go grab a 6. There's a little extra room in the back of the waist, but they fit everywhere else. A six ... my daughter and I both were freaking out! :-)

Stats:
Highest 299.7 / Pre Op 272 / Current 155.6 / Goal 134

Moment to think:

Since Bill's memorial service I've thought about what a beautiful family he has and the legacy he has left them. What a wonderful example he was to all of those who knew him. He was human, yes, and had faults, but he did a lot of good in his short 65 years. I hope to leave a better legacy to my family than I have in the past. All I can do is do better, right? Thank you for all you taught me, Bill. I miss you.
