Surgeon Testimonial

Troy LaMar, M.D.
Dr. LaMar was my surgeon. My first impression of him was his height as others have mentioned. He is very professional, friendly, and thorough with any questions that you have. He took my questions seriously and was helpful in reassuring me with any doubts or issues that I was having. His office staff is extremely helpful and have always gotten back to me with any questions that I have had. I would definitely recommend Dr. LaMar and his staff to others.

64 lbs gone, 47 lbs left to go!

I've lost over 60 lbs and I'm finally cleaning out my closet. None of the clothes that I have in my closet fit me anymore.  I know have a handfull of shirts and jeans that I've bought recently that fit.  Why am I feeling so much angst about this?  I've kept two of my favorite outfits pre-surgery so I can go back and get a good reflection on how much I've lost. I'm donating most to a homeless shelter and giving the rest to a friend.   But, still ... I'm not really happy about having to get rid of all these clothes. 

Shouldn't I be happy about this? It's such an odd feeling.

61 lbs. down, 50 lbs left to go :)

I can't believe I actually have less weight to lose than what I have lost. It's been almost 3 months since I've had my surgery. How time has flown by.  I now weigh less now that I did my senior year in high school. Holy Shite!  It feels amazing, but so odd at the same time. 

I went into Old Navy last week to see if I could fit into any of their clothes.  When they opened up back in 1994, I was too fat to fit into any of their clothes, so I've never bought anything for me in that store.  So, I try on a pair of 18's, they fit great in the thighs, but are actually a little large at the hip, I'm right in between 16's and 18's there.  And these are not "W" sizes either! Wow!  I fit into their XL shirts great as well.  They are a little tight around the tata's, but those are shrinking as well.  

I'm rambling, I know it ... just some thoughts this morning as I'm drinking my hot chocolate protein drink :)

I saw a friend about 3 weeks ago and he told me he  thought I was prettier heavier. When I saw him, I had lost about 40 lbs.  I asked him why he thought that, and he said, he always liked the more curvier girl.  He told me that I should eat more.  LOL. He had no idea I had the surgery and I wasn't going to tell him at that point.  He wouldn't understand nor would I think he would support me. 

There are mom's at my son's school that have mentioned my weight loss to two close friends of mine.  They haven't said anything to me, but just to them.  Those two friends know that I've had the surgery and they are not telling them what I had done.  I wonder why they don't approach me and ask me.

My son's ex-kindergarten teacher asked me a few weeks ago if I was okay. She asked if I was sick, and I told her no, that I was getting quite healthy. Do I look sick? I don't think so. I think I'm looking hotter and hotter every day.

I feel like I'm getting noticed more now from the opposite sex. It's nice to feel attractive, I may even shoot a smile back ;)

I'm sure most folks who go through this are getting the same reactions. Sometimes, I like the attention, other times I don't.  Just another new adventure in this WLS journey.
