Surgeon Testimonial

Philippe Quilici, M.D.
Wow!! Had my first consult with my surgeon yesterday. I liked him, he addressed me by my first name and did not pull punches told me what he thought was best for me and stated that he could help me. That was all I wanted to know. Julie the office nutrionist and coordinator did the rest and she was sooo nice. even when I called her today for a question I should have asked yesterday. If first impressions matter then they are already aces.
Part II Well still holding on with Good fellings towards Dr Quilici group. Have not seen him again but have dealt with Julie and Maureen the nutrionist and the coordinator.My impatience got the better of me but these two ladies did their jobs well. They have kept me up on things and made sure I am fully enformed of what is going on and what will go on if this keeps up they will get a full thumbs up.

Time to put away the super hero cape
on September 2, 2008 10:14 am
Well as of today I am no longer in the SUPER Morbidly obese catagory. I am now just Morbidly obese  It is crazy to be happy about that but it  it is a step in the right direction. I can't wait till my number is on most BMI charts. I have a clinic where I work and I am still off the charts so I guess that will be my next goal. any excuse to party don't you know ahahhah.

well almost time to hang up the super Heroes cape
on August 8, 2008 12:30 pm
well when I first started the journey I joked about how my BMI said I was super morbidly obese. and I was wondering were my super heroes cape was
now that my BMI is almost out of the 50's I will have to give up on ever getting that cape because soon I will be just extremly morbidly obese hahahah cheese and crackers. notice they stop after 50 because if you go any higher than that they just lump you in to the super catigory it makes me wonder who came up with these I have a whole new grouping that I think we should go by

new BMI
15-20----- need to eat a ham sandwich
20-24.9--- wow do I look good
25-30 -----Little junk in the trunk
30-50--- Large and Lovely
50-75 -- a whole lot of women
75-100-- Big Beautiflu Lady

This way we can understand that yes we are large but what ever size we reach we will still be beautiful because you can take away the pounds and you can suck away the fat and you can tuck up that skin. But you still keep who you are and how loving you can be!!!!

Wow I am so stoked. Today is my third month anniversary and I had a major Wow moment. I have a scale at work the old doctor kinds that I was tooooo fat to weigh on it only went up to 350 but I got on it today and it weighed me yeah today I am officaly down to 346 and longer will have to weigh on my rinky dink old scale that is weird. more and more I am getting used to my tool. it was not as easy for me as it seems to be for some. it was harder than I imagined it would be but I am loving it now. it is not all wine and roses but there are more good days then bad now.

My Story

Well i began gaining weight when I was 5 and just kept going. When I was sixteen I topped the scale at 316 and my Parents put me on a Doctors supervised diet. I lost 130 pounds but put it back on. When I reached the age of 22 I was 300 pounds I went on to lose 170 pounds I yo yoed with about 50 pounds of that for the next 8 years. Yo Yoed so much lost my gallbladder at the age of 28. But at the age of 30 I was blessed with a lovely daughter during that pregnacy I balloned up to 280 and kept going. In fact I kept going untill today at 433 pounds. not that in the last 10 years I haven't tried everything to stop or lose the the ever growing weight I put on. I did but it would not come off like it used to. I got married this April  and I have a wonderful husband that I want to grow old with. He has a slight weight problem nothing like mine but we want to start getting healthy. One of the things that has brought me to the program that I am in is that I have to take nutrition classes that even after I am used to the bypass will help me keep the weight off for life by helping me learn to eat healthy.
