Surgeon Testimonial Timothy Kuwada, Dr. Kuwada was referred to me by one of my good friends. I was always skeptical of WLS, but after I seen Courtney's results, I had to do it. I seen that nothing \"bad\" happened to her, so why not give it a try. I met Dr. Kuwada and he was sooooo down to earth, very kind, attentive, knowledgeable and reassuring. He went in great detail about both the Lap Band and RNY. He didn't sugar coat anything, but kept it real. He told me the Pro's and Con's of each procedure. In the hosptial, sugery day, he was the same. I felt comfortable with my life in his hands, and besides God, who can you say that about. I recommend everyone who is remotely thinking of WLS to meet Dr. Kuwada. He is a great man and wonderful surgeon! Member Interests

Welcome to the story of my life ~ 12/22/2008 is the first day of the rest of my life!
My Story I'm sure my story is similar to everyone else's on this site. I have gradually, over the course of my adulthood, gained weight approximately 100 lbs. I have tried Xenical (for anyone who has ever taken that weight loss medicine can feel my pain), Weight Watchers, LA Weight Loss, among others without any success. I did lose 30 lbs and gained it back within six months after i reached a plateau.....No one truly knows how you feel unless they are in your shoes. I have completed my process which included me seeing a psychologist, exercise physiotherpists, dietician and having an Upper GI....ewwww.......So my process is complete. I have my surgery scheduled and can't wait to start the rest of my life. I think the most difficult part for me is going to be PROTEIN...especially in liquid form. I am commited to overcoming that fear and will do whatever I have to do to accomplish my goal. Tomorrow 10/20/08 I am going to start incorporating exercise into my daily routine. I have high hopes to loose about 20 lbs prior to my surgery. I know that it's going to be a challenge trying to toggle my career, classes, and relationship along with this huge task.....I have 62 days in counting until my surgery!!! We'll see how it plays out.....until next time |

12/22/2008 was the first day of the rest of my life. It's been two wonderful years since my life has changed for the better. I've extracted all negativity from my life. Of course the two years haven't been all peaches and ice cream, but overall I've been successful. I met my original WL goal of 185lbs, down from 310. I've lost a whopping 125lbs in two years!!!
