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~

A NEW PCP

I've found a new PCP he is very nice, very knowledgable about the procedure. He also informed me that the weight can and will come back if proper nutrition is not followed. He ws telling me how he had one patient who weighed about 388 lbs lost about 150 during the "honeymoon" phase and gained back 80 because she fell back into her old habits of eating and had taught her body how to hold more food. I fit comfortably in size 13 jeans now and if I want to be cute I can wear size 12 jeans and I dumped so much the first month If I even see candy or sugar my stomach cringes. Well any who I take my vitamins and supplements religiously. I weighed in at 172.4 at the drs office and I'm only 3 1/2 months post op. You know I hate when people say wls patients took the easy way out changing a lifestyle you've been accustomed to all your life is not easy, trying to explain to your family why you can't eat this or that when everyones out together or just tasting a spoonful of a family dish because you know what will happen later is not easy. I still can't believe I was blessed with such an opportunity. I go to my surgeon and nutritional counselor next Thursday so I'll post my comments then.
