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!

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!
on June 12, 2008 3:04 pm
Oh my!!!!  Finally I've broken my plateau!  (don't ask me how as I have no idea how I did it) but the main thing is I did it!!!  I ended up back at the dr for an ear infection check (I still had probs w/my right ear and some drainage even after taking the first round of antibiotics for 10 days).  I also had to see my regular dr as that was the only way he'd give me any more refills on my blood pressure med (my blood pressure is inherited, not weight related).  Anyway-- of course they weigh you, and I FINALLY lost 24 lbs in a little over a month.  WOOOOOOHOOOOOO  I was soooooooo thrilled as I woke up this a.m. worried that I had actually gained, but then put on a smaller shirt that used to fit nicely and is now LOOSE on me.  I am SO lovin' this right now! So now in total I have lost 174 lbs in almost 1 yr 3 months, and my current weight is 335 lbs.  I am feeling SO awesome and can tolerate the heat out here in Georgia soooooooooooo much better this summer.  I am amazed!  Suddenly my 200 lb goal weight isn't that far off anymore...WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I want to thank everyone for the kind and encouraging words during my "plateau" and for reading my whiney comments   Now for a bit of bad news--my right eardrum has a small hole in it.  It was apparently caused by the pressure of both ears having an infection.  My doctor said that it could possibly repair itself as it's small, otherwise, I'd have to go to an ENT dr and get it repaired.  As most of you know, I haven't had health insurance for a while now thanx to the state thinking I get too much in child support (even though I get less than $500 a month).  So cost is an issue.  If it doesn't repair itself, I am screwed and will have a bit of hearing loss in my right ear (I'm only 42 I shouldn't have to have this probloem yet dang it! )  I need everyone's prayers that it will repair itself.  I would greatly appreciate it.  So to ANYONE going through a plateau HANG IN THERE!!!  You WILL get over it and love life again!  God bless everyone!
