Surgeon Testimonial

Eric Bour
Dr. Bour is great. At first I thought that he would not be very personable. But once I met him I was pleasantly surprised. In the beginning I thought that it was crazy that I had to meet the requirements of going to atleast ten support groups before I even got to meet him. After the first couple of classes I came to enjoy the classes and I did learn a great deal. I didn't know as much about WLS as I had first thought I did. Dr. Bours office staff is the best medical staff that I have ever come across. At any time that you need to talk to someone they are all there as soon as you need them. If I had to rate Dr. Bour on a scale of 1-10 honestly it would have to be a 10. I would recommend him to ANYONE!

4th optifast class
on April 30, 2008 2:41 pm
Well....this class didn't go so well. I had gained 8oz which I guess wasn't that bad, considering the stress that I have been under for the last two weeks. So today I had 2 finals and bombed the spanish (lets hope he'll give credit for attempting..lol) I have 1 more final tomorrow and then I'm off for pre-op assessment on Friday morning. Boy the time sure has flew by. It seems just like yesterday that I started this process. I am so scared. I don't think that I have ever been as scared about anything in my life. But.....I have left it in gods hands. Hopefully, this weekend I will be able to rest some and get this off my mind.

Pre-op Surgery Group
on April 24, 2008 10:34 am
Well today I had the pre-op surgery group. Dr. Bour and his assistant Katie really do a good job in explaining everything that will happen at the hospital. The only thing that I am worried about is the fact that you can't have anything to drink for sooo long. But.......I know that I will get thru it ok. When I first began this journey I just wanted it to hurry up and get here. Boy does the time fly by. I started this entire process Dec 4th 2007 and it seems just like yesterday. I only have a week and a half left until surgery. That sure does seem soon lol..........anyway thats my update for today..............Until next time..............

Optifast week 3
on April 22, 2008 4:53 pm
Well I went to my third optifast class today and.....yep.....5 lbs more lost! By my scales I had lost 7 but I guess that I will be happy with 5 cause the other people that I was so jealous of last week have now went from losing 7-9 lbs to 2-3lbs so I am HAPPY with my 5 two weeks in a row. Now if I can just stay this happy until surgery I will be ok. I have been very nervous the last few days, so I just try to stay busy and not think about it. Although, staying positive is sometimes a chore. I just have to keep thinking of all the good things that will come from this. Next year at this time I hope to be HEALTHY and not to mention HOT! I know everything will be fine as I have left it all in Gods Hands............

Optifast week 2
on April 15, 2008 8:01 am
I just returned from my 2nd pre-op diet class. I was a little upset that I had only lost 5 lbs. But overall I guess that is good. It sure is better than I have done over the last few years. I really hope that this week I can do better with the diet, I just have a hard time with the eating one meal a day. Either I do not eat or I make bad decisions, so this week I plan to kick it into high gear. I am only able to walk 15 min at a time on treadmill but this week I plan to up it to 30 min at a time. So.........thats my story for thhe week. Wish me luck and please pray that I can do this................

Started Optifast diet today!
on April 8, 2008 3:22 pm
So I started my optifast diet today. So far I have tried choc, and strawberry and they are pretty good and I also have not been hungry. My target goal for 4 weeks of optifast is only 6 lbs so I imagine I should be able to do that with no problem. So until next week...............
