Surgeon Testimonial

Matt Bosquez, M.D.
Well, I don't have a lot to add that hasn't already been discussed in this web site. Dr. Bosquez is a very knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated surgeon. I was very impressed with his presentation. He was informative in his presentation to the group and answered all questions without difficulty. He stressed that WLS is a tool that he provides that enables the morbidly obese patient to take credit and responsibility for their weight loss. I thought that was profound. A clever person could learn to work their way around the gastric bypass if they wanted to. A dedicated person will lose weight.

It's been a while

Well, I went to a WLS support group meeting Sunday.  My first in almost 3 years.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I will have to make time to attend more often.  I was actually able to share knowledge with people.  What I've wanted to do in this job for over a year.  I met many people with successful weight loss and many people on their journey.  I was proud of what I've accomplished again.  Sometimes I forget how far I came and the work I had to do to get here.  

I can't remember if I wrote about my upcoming plastic surgery.  I am having a revision to the abdominoplasty and he's fixing my belly button and an adhesion that developed in my left breast.  It's scheduled for 12/22 at 2:15.  I am so ready.  I will feel complete then (I think).

Thanks for reading. Dawna

That plastic surgeon...

Well, went to see the doc yesterday.  I am scheduled for a abdominal revision on 12/22.  I cannot wait!  I wish I could have it tomorrow!  I know I will feel 100% better about myself.  I have an adhesion in my left breast that he is going to release.  I decided I am going to live with my breasts the way they are for a while before I decide to have any more surgery on them.  Anyway, I am really excited!

The ups and downs of my life...

Well I interviewed for the new job yesterday.  It was rather bitter sweet.  I got the job offer and I am really excited to get back to a nursing job that I really loved, but to do it I have to give up (put the final nail in the coffin) of my bariatric program.  The change is what is best for Drew and I.  I just have to realize that I did my best, but I cannot change the insurance industry.

I go to the plastic surgeon this afternoon.  I am excited yet nervous.  I am interested in what he suggests in this revision.  I'll update after the visit.

Took Drew trick or treating last night.  He was Fred from Scooby Doo.  He had a blast.  We walked about 3 miles of neighborhoods and I bet only 15 or 20 people had porch lights on and were giving treats.  Seems Halloween is loosing it's tradition.

Thats it for now. Dawna
