Surgeon Testimonial

Galo Grijalva
Dr. Grijalva is a great doctor. He's very professional and answers all questions. He visited me four times in the hospital to make sure all was well and made surethere were no leaks or anything. As of the end of July 2008 the Bariatric Wellness Center where Dr. Grijalva practices from, will be closed. Not happy about this but he was very upfront with me about it. He also gave me his cell phone so after July I can still reach him. He's a wonderful surgeon and I'm going to miss the clinic.

UPDATE! My aftercare will be with Dr. Curry in Evendale. Can't wait to meet his staff. I've heard great things about all of them!

Happy Monday!!!
on September 29, 2008 5:12 am
I have gotten up very late. It looks like I'll be going into work late also. I hate starting my day out like this! I bet you're wondering why I'm on the computer when I'm running late well I'm trying to wake up, drink my coffee etc.... I already feel yucky and haven't even gotten to work yet. I didn't do too well yesterday on protein. I didn't track it before I consmed it and ended the day only with 23grams and I wonder why I'm losing my hair?!!! Well I'm getting back on track. I've also noticed the amount of carbs I consume.... not good. Most days I'm around 80 and I know I should be around that for brain health but my nut wants me no more than 60... this shit can be so confusing. I have no energy. Not sure about why but I definately have none and no motivation AT ALL!!! I write on here so I can see where things are amiss and fix it but the lack of motivation really sucks- can't figure it out. I'm sure my PCP will tell me on friday when I see her.

can't sleep
on September 24, 2008 11:20 pm
I am in so much pain I can't sleep. Its after 2 am and I need to get up at 6am. My teeth have become so sensitive and hurt so bad. Can't go to the dentist until after Octber 1st- insurance issue. I don't know what to do? I don't believe this has to do with my weight loss but we'll see I guess. I had all my cavaties pulled at the beginning of this year so that's out of the question. Someone said maybe my gums are receding and a nerve is exposed? I feel stupid. I have no idea but how can I focus at work in this pain. We'll see tommorrow or today does not look promising!

September 18th
on September 18, 2008 10:33 am
Its been a crazy week!!! I am physically and mentally exhausted. The storm on Sunday knocked out power and our hotel was the only one in the area with power, so our employees were run to death! The sad part is how people can be so cruel and unappreciative whne they are stressed out. We had a woman refuse to leave the hotel because she had no power- we were sold out- she explained it like we had no idea and she was alone-GET REAL PEOPLE!!! We all were without and still came in to work just to be abused my inconsiderate people!!! I'm posting this on the rant board!

Hair Loss!!!
on September 15, 2008 9:06 am
This is becoming unbearable by the day. This morning I got up and went in to do my hair and when I lifted mt bangs you can see where the hair has fallen out. I am really depressed. I knew this was a possibility of the surgery and I was told its normal for some hairloss around 3 months post op but I am still in shock. My bathroom floor is covered in long dark hair, my brush is full, I sit all day picking it off my clothes and brushing it out of my face. Today I get my blood work done and hopefully the doctor can check and make sure everything is ok. I am also buying Biotin to take. I heard it works and I know it can't hurt. At this pace I'll be bald or have bald spots by the end of the month!

Very Tired!
on September 10, 2008 9:29 am
I don't think I'm sleeping too well. I can't use that CPAP machine for my apnea and I'm sure that's the cause. I'm not losing as much weight as I would like to but I'll find out tomorrow where I should be when I see Dr. Curry. Exercise is my biggest issue. I do well for awhile and then all of the sudden- No motivation or something happens at home or work that distracts me.

I am losing alot of hair. I've almost had alot and even joked about being able to lose some-it was just a joke though! I used to clean out my hair brush once or twice a week now its everyday and I am constantly brushing off my clothes, sink and my desk at work! I'm worried.

I'm also experiencing bleeding gums every time I brush and my teeth ache and are very sensitive. I will tell the doctor tomorrow. They will be doing blood work for my 3 month check up so we'll see if there is a deficiency some where.
