Surgeon Testimonial

Carl Lowe, Jr, M.D.
My first impression of Dr.Lowe that he was very warm and friendly, very easy to talk too. Over time it grew he is very understanding and caring. Welll some of his office staff is very helpful, there are a few but I will continue. I finally met him two weeks prior to surgery. Dr.Lowe is an excellent choice very knowledgeable. Aftercare is VERY important, he emphasises that very well. There is a structured aftercare program. All risks were laid out nothing was hidden. Overall I would rate im a 10. To be honest both were great even in the worst of times he still encourages you and gives you hope.

    Thursday 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! ~JudyAnne~

Things are goinn really well, we had to participate in a Health Risk assessment at work and if we passed we received a discount off of our health insurance and last year I didn't even bother going becaus ei knew because of my weight I would fail, but none the less I went this year and passed with flying colors. I was so excited when I stepped on the scale and it read 158.00 lbs OMG i could have screamed.. Well I have to have a consultation with the nurse and she began her whole spill about how i'm considered overweight according to her bmi chart and how I don't eat enough food or calories and that even though I work out three days a week I should increase that to four days per week, I smiled politely and wanted to stab her with her highlighter when she said well I wouldn't have guessed you had gastric i mean look at your neck theres no loose skin and you look so normal..like wls patients look like aliens????? huh anyway she gave me a crappy pedometer that had already registered eight steps just by the box shaking and asked did I need another I said...NO THANKS!!! and walked away. I must say this has really been an amazing journey..the compliments I receive now feel long overdue..Anyway I don't eat breads,sweets, pasta or popcorn I can't tolerate anything with more than 5 grmas of sugar or I'll dump and dumping is the worst feeling in the WORLD!!!! if you have not yet experienced it I have maybe five times unintentionally.Well I'm a size 8 now in womens and 10/11 in juniors...I still have my tummy though which I was considering getting tucked and my breast reduced but I'm too pleased right now and hopefully if I keep excersing I can use the money for a new wardrobe....I LOVE TO SHOP NOW!!!!!! just call me a fashionista/glamour junkie...well I hope everyone os doing well...muah
