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 8
posted on 2/10/12 7:40 pm
Today I got on the scale and I am 147!. I lost 10 pounds between Jan and Feb.

I have to say that this has not been very difficult for me.  I did have to go on the road to my hometown to handle some business and I ate some things that weren't "low carb". My weight went down and then bounced up.  This week I got extra vigilant and the weight came back down. 

My goal weight is 145.   I think I am going to go down another 5-10 pounds so I have some wiggle room. 

I love my sleeve 

I went to Macy's and tried on  size 2 Calvin Klein dress and it fit!  My torso is so small and the dress flared at the bottom.  I was so excited. 

I am wearing a 4 jean at Old Navy  flirt/sweethart only.  Most brands I can get in a 6 if it has stretch.  Tops are a small. I am really blown away.  I feel my bones at night when I try to sleep. I need pillows between my knees.

Feb 11. I hit GOAL!

I can't believe that the day I hit goal is the day that Whitney Houston died.  I remember her voice sounding like pure perfection as I was growing up. I so desperately wanted her to get her life back on track.  I know she had a long struggle with substance abuse that only got worse with her troubled marriage.  I pray she finds peace now......r.i.p Whitney.
