Surgeon Testimonial

Matt Kirkland, M.D.
Very knowledgeable and had the best small hands on such a talented man. I have a very high opinion of him. His staff well that is another story... I was a little irritated with staff on my two week follow up appointment. He was running late and they wanted to just see me and move me out. I did not appreciate that. I did not see him much in the hospital not like that is a problem. He does emphasize aftercare with the nutritionist since that is where most of our aftercare has to happen. They make you go to two support groups prior to surgery which I thought was a very good idea. He addressed all the risks of the surgery and well I was happy that there were no surprises. He is a real cutie too...what blue eyes! I rate him a 9. 10 is perfect but no one is perfect.

Three Years and still going strong
posted on 11/13/07 2:26 pm
Yep....weight has gone up just a little...but I am so happy to be even where I am these days.  I have been ill but its not from the surgery.  That is a good thing huh.  Life is better at this weight so much easier to do things.  Its just nice to be recognized as a person, not the fat one walking down the hall.  I am not sure I would be able to do the current job I have at 425 lbs.  It requires a lot more walking then I have ever done.  Not complaining about it either.  What I cant seem to manage is stress from the job.  I would love to know how people don't get worked up on stuff like I do.  How to let it go.  I let go weight, why can't I let go things that are said or taken out of context of what I say....Its too hard to work here.  Maybe I should find something else.  Will I ever like what I do, how I look, let people help me?  There are lots of things that go with this obesity thing....we just bury it sometimes because we don't want to deal with it....its better to stuff it away.  Now I have to find a way of dealing.  Any body out there have any good ideas?
