Surgeon Testimonial

Larry Hobson
I had originally hoped to have Dr Titus Duncan do my surgery. When I made an appointment, Dr Hobson was my appointed surgeon. He is super sweet, listens intently and answers any and all questions you have. His office staff are also super wonderful! Everyone at Peachtree Surgical in Atlanta, totally understands what you are going through! Keep up the good work! I can't wait to have my surgery!!!!

    Hi Jolynn! I'm fairly new here and have been reading the Q&A's everyday to get as much info as possible and see that you answer a lot of them so I ended up reading through all of your posts and just wanted to say you are an inspiration and I am praying for you and am just really happy for you and the weight loss you've achieved so far! I enjoy reading the 1 year and further posts but even more so the ones like you who just had the surgery since I'm not quite there yet (just got approved though!). You and others are really giving me more knowledge about what it is like post-op and making me feel better about the decisions I'm making and that it isn't as painful as I had once thought it to be. Thank you for your posts and the information you give on the Q&A's. God bless!

More loss!
on August 19, 2007 6:47 pm
Just a quick update...I went to my pcp for lab work on the 17th (this past friday) and low and behold, I've lost another 8 lbs!    Now total weight loss is 88.5 lbs in 4  1/2 months!  Awesome!  Oh, and I also asked him what iron I could take since it seems in my family we can't take it.  He asked me why I wanted to take iron, I told him my nutritionist told me back in May? that my iron was a little low and I should take some iron.  He told me that when we last did my labs, my iron levels were fine and there was no need to bother with taking iron! I about kissed his hand as that's one less pill I have to take!  Yeah baby!!!!  Hope everyone (like us here in Georgia) are able to stand this 3 week heat (heat index's have been about 104 every single day)we've had and I pray it cools off even more this week!  Well, I'm busy tonight, so gotta go.  I should be able to get some updated pics taken/loaded onto my profile this week as there is no running errands this week WHEW!  Hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying life!  God Bless!

Yayyyy weighed today!
on August 1, 2007 4:46 pm
Well, I went to the clinic here in town to see if I could weigh myself and there IS one of the doctors that has a digital scale that goes up to 440 lbs, so I got on it, and I've lost another 14 lbs!  That makes it a grand total of 80 lbs lost in 4 months.  Stil not my 100 lb loss I wanted by now, but close.  I just can't seem to get my weight to disappear faster.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I know I need to stop whining and I do know I've lost more inches.  I want to get OUT of the 400's!  My daughter came home Monday and it appears she has gained almost 30 lbs in just 2 months dang my ex and his girlfriend UGH!  Thank God I stayed on her about doing crunches and tae bo otherwise she would have put on even MORE weight.  So I am going to work hard within this month to get her weight down to where it should be. Come to find out her doctor has also had gastric bypass last year, and is now 6-7 lbs under what she should actually weigh.  So she had no doubt that I would make sure my daughter looses her excess weight.  I am also keeping my daughter on a strict diet of back to ONLY eating the serving size on the labels.  She kinda looked at me, but knew it was worthless to fight LOL. I also only allow her candy (SERVING SIZE ONLY) after only ONE meal not both lunch and dinner.  I have plenty of fruit in the house she can have that after the other meal.  Well I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to post more pictures soon now that my daughter is home.  It's so much easier if she takes the pics LOL...God Bless everyone and keep the updates coming!  Ya'll are in my prayers!
