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 10.5
on April 25, 2012 6:01 pm
I am overdue in writing this but there have been some stressful events occuring in my life and I did not feel up to writing a lot.

I'm doing well and still losing weight. March was a slow month and then I had a bad scale. This month started off slow but then I hit a groove and dropped from 139 to 131. 

I went to my cheap standby Old Navy and was looking for some cheap work clothes.  I picked up a demin skirt in a size 2 ( I wear a 4 in jeans and usually can get in smaller skirts) Plus it was stretch denim.  I also got a size 2 jean to take to the fitting room to see if they would fit.  The jeans fit!!!  However they gave me pancake butt and ummm no maaam that is NOT the look for me.  I am fighting wil all my might to keep my bum.  Imagine Dolly Parton with flat boobs.  Um yeah. I have always had a booty. Boobs I will be buying those!

Ok rambling...I know!.  Anywho, the size 2 was a bit loose. I went back out on the floor and got a size 0. I tried it on and BAM! it fit.  Now the modern-day feminist in me--I don't like to be defined as a 0. That is really strange to me.

Never in a million years did I EVER think I would get in 2's and 0's--even it if is the magic of vanity sizing.
