Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Cirangle (COE)
My first impression was that he was an extremely knowledgeable and articulate person and was impressed by his credentials and the fact that he continues to do research and publish and present at professional meetings. When we met privately, he was a bit brusque at first but warmed up considerably. But the real acid test is how well my surgery went and it could not have been better. I have had almost none of the unpleasant side effects that some vsg patients have and had almost no pain and was easily able to make the 300 mile car trip home a day after being dismissed from the hospital. Staff is good and has helped me alot since I had an unusual insurance situation. Dr. C and his partner really stress follow up as they think its critical to long term success and they have various ways of doing that. I think Dr. C is outstanding and recommend him without qualification. His only fault is that he is often late (but not for surgery at 7:30 am which began right on time) but I believe its because he is truly busy and working hard and goes the extra mile for his patients.

8 months and having a ball
on July 23, 2010 6:42 pm
Time to update this. It seems my substitute addiction is blathering on OH. but it beats eating bad foods and I sure get a kick out of what i read on this site. And of course I have an opinion on practically everything.

Saw Dr. Jossart yesterday. Such a good doc. I am at bmi 25.9. He thinks i should be transitioning to maintenance (WTF!) but i wanna lose 10 more so he say oh, ok. Had a nice chat. And support group was good too. Bragged about having recently gone horseback riding for the first time in 20 years. It was so great. But after an hour and a half my rear was objecting. Amazingly the horse was not objecting to this person of almost (not quite) normal weight on her back. Others in the group were heavier than me and it was thrilling to not be embarrassed to tell my weight to the stable manager so she could assign me the correct horse. I had set my goal as riding a horse on the beach but the rental stables aren't allowed to do this though private owned horses can. I am going to have to make friends with someone with a horse so i can get that beach ride. Where there is a will, there is a way.

STomach is wrinkly and arms and inner thighs are flabby. need plastics. may or may not do that. probably should do some weight training first.

Thats about it for now. Still losing about 6 lbs per month. Works for me.
