Surgeon Testimonial

Anne Lidor
On 6/10/2011 I had the VSG done by Dr Anne Lidor at the John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
Dr. Lidor is a competent surgeon with a lot of energy. She talk fast and moves swiftly.
I came to the center with a lot of information at hand and I let her know that upfront. I think because of this I did not get a ton of information from her but she informed me about risks and expectations.

This center does have a strong focus on the RNY and if you are getting sleeved I would advise you to research on here, online, read,read,read. This center does a 40f bougie sleeve size so if you want a smaller sleeve look elsewhere. There are fewer complications with the 40 vs the 32 but I have heard that the mature 40 sleeve holds a bit more food than the 32. That may make a difference in maintenance. For me it will not matter as I know I have to exercise and eat measured amounts.

My biggest complaint is that I had to literally ride the damn office staff for my info to get submitted, approved and getting my date.etc. That was a real pain. I never got a call from the finance lady, I worked closely with the coordinator and got things done.

The hospital stay was 2 nights. Some nurses were better than others (the 3rd shift ones) The day nurses ..smh -no comment. I came out alive so I won't complain.

Month 5
on November 11, 2011 6:21 pm
I cannot believe I am at month 5 already.  I am in the midst of my body playing catch up.  Last week I got as low as 172, then immediately went back up to 174 and then down to 173 and since then I have been 173.4,173.6--etc.

I figure I will lose eventually so I continue to eat protein first, 3oz, then veggies, 64 oz of water --or as close as possible.  Vitamins etc.  I am bad with the calcium though. 

My measurements are killing me.  My bust is 35, waist 29 and hips 41.  As far as sizes go I can get into a 12 with ease. Some 10's in dresses--as long as they are stretchy or loose at the bottom. I also tried on some size 10 stretch jeans.  I can get in them but it is not a comfortable fit. More like hoochie tight with a muffin top.

On a daily basis I keep wondering where I should stop weight-wise.  My initial goal was to be a size 10.  well I am almost there but I don't like my weight to be 170-something.  My preference is in the 140's.  Normal weight for me is 150.  I do hope to be close to that for my surgeon appointment in Jan.  We shall see.  I don't want to lose my curves--as much as I complain about them.  Hubby is happy with my look right now but he knows I want to go down some more.
