Surgeon Testimonial

Brian S. Boe, M.D.
Dr. Brian Boe was very attentive. He made everyone laugh a few times during out initial group consultation. I felt very secure with the infomation he shared with us as a group and also alone in our one on one meeting. I am still pre-op, but am happy with my decision to go with Dr. Boe and Barix Clinics.rn

    Tomorrow is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

6 months, already???
posted on 1/20/08 7:22 am

I can't believe it has been 6 months since surgery.  It has been a wonderful journey.

I am now fitting nicely in size 1x or extra large tops, and size 18 pants.  When I wear something that is a size 20, people tell me I need to go shopping for new clothes. 

A bunch of us went out Friday night, to this bar in West Grove called the Red Rose Inn.  My cousin's band was playing and they had a dance floor, which was the only encouragement I needed to drive 45 minutes!!!  Alot of folks that I hadn't seen in years were there.  And my dear friend Mike couldn't stop telling me how great I looked.  Then we would tease me and look around for my Gary.  LOL

I danced the night away and my face wasn't beet red after 2 or 3 songs...  

I still need to work on my exercise.  I get on the eliptical at work but not as often as I should.  I had hoped I would be down 100 lbs by my 6 month mark, but I am thrilled with a loss of 83 lbs.  I know I need to kick up the exercise, especially now that I am at the 6 month mark and I can feel the weight loss has started to slow down.  In fact, I have been at a stall for almost a month now.

We are going to Orlando in March, which should be alot of fun.  I might even schedule a day at Universal Islands of Adventure, because I will probably fit in almost all of the rollercoasters now.  Although I am not a huge rollercoaster fan, so fitting in the seats might be a disadvantage.  

I bought a new bathing suit one of those slim suits that suck in EVERYTHING.  it looks very cute on, but I can't breathe.  Someone told me you should buy a size larger, but of course I got that info AFTER I had already ordered the suit...  and I ended up getting a size 16, which isn't even a woman's size 16...  but I can wear it, and I know it will fit better in 2 months time.  lol
