Surgeon Testimonial

Brian S. Boe, M.D.
I met with Dr. Boe almost 3 years ago and he was a sweetheart then, and he's still wonderful now. I met with him in May and am very happy with him. His office staff have been great to work with. Even though my mom and I already knew everything about the surgery from our last visit, he still showed my grandma what happens. The Barix Center has a great after program. Dr. Boe has done over 1200 surgeries so I feel confident enough to recommend him to anyone. So far I'd rate him a 10, but I always rate high.

    Hi Debbie! Big congratulations on your surgery tomorrow! I bet you are so excited! Just hang in there and try to be patient! Don’t worry if you are nervous, scared, excited or go through a thousand different emotions. This is all normal, so go with the flow! There’s really nothing you can do with all those feelings surfacing. You may start to doubt yourself and question your decision to have surgery. Just about everyone has had this happen to them. You’re making a decision to have a better quality of life and YOU deserve it!! That gut feeling or that little voice inside lets you know that you’re doing the right thing! Remember that we’re all family here and we’re ready to give you our support, lend an ear and not judge. You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! There are lots of us who have had surgery and are in your corner rooting for you!! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful, problem-free surgery and recovery. I’m so happy for you. Soon you will be on the other side and will join the ranks of the losers. Get ready for your life to change forever. Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Hugs to you today. God bless, DI from NJ – Lap RNY, 12/09/03 -46 lbs

Too Long
on February 5, 2009 6:00 am
Wow, it's been so long since I've written. Since the last time, almost two years ago, I have had another child, Kaitlyn Elizabeth who is now 8 months old. She joins Charlie, 11 1/2 and Nickolas 2 years old and a step-daughter, Jennifer, 24 years old. I just had my hernia surgery 2 weeks ago and I ache really bad. The Dr had to put an 8x10 piece of mesh in my abdomen, but I finally don't stick out and feel like I'm still pregnant. I have gained from 212lbs (right after Nickolas was born) to 268lbs (I've actually lost 6lbs since my hernia surgery). I haven't been using my tool like I should. I'm very ashamed of myself, I learned how to eat sugar and I drink when I eat. I've also been in a post partum depression for almost 2 years, which doesn't help and of course when I'm depressed, I eat. Well a friend of mine is having surgery on Feb 11th so I'm hoping we can support each other and now that I don't have this thing sticking out of me, I think I should be able to get my butt moving and lose more. We also got a Wii and a Wii fit so I'll be able to exercise here in my home!!! I just have to wait until I feel better and can actually move. I hope to write more in about a month with some good news! Thanks for reading!!
Debbie
