Surgeon Testimonial

Alejandro Aguirre M.D.
My surgeon was the most caring and it's obvious how he takes this surgery serious. He even allowed my husband to watch my surgery and explain everything he was doing. I have the most respect for him, as a surgeon and as a human being.

1 Year Surgiversary!
on July 15, 2009 6:44 am
WOW!  What a year it has been!  I have lost a total of 100 lbs.  This has been the best experience of my life.  I never knew what  a transformation this would be.  I am recovering from a tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation.  It has not been that bad of a surgery.  The outcome will be worth it.  I wil post pics after the swelling has subsided.  I feel amazing and will never go back.  This has boosted my self esteem and confidence in so many positive ways.  I am so blessed to have this new life.

Well dreams do come true!  I don't think I ever really imagined i would really lose all the excess weight.  I am at 122 lbs now, with a 98 lb weight loss!  Yeah me!  I am scheduled for a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants on July 2, 2009.  This will be the final chapter of my weight loss journey.  This has changed me and given me so much confidence that I could never go back to before surgery.  I never realized how unhappy I was. I'm so thankful for this opportunity to change my life in such a positive way.

Well again, time has flown by so fast.  I am 2 lbs away from my personal goal of 130 lbs.  I have lost 88 lbs. to date.  I am very happy with my results and hope to lose a little more.  I am hoping for a tumy tuck this summer.  I started having a little pain in my abdomen that turned out to be gall stones.   I had surgery at the end of March to remove my gall bladder and everything went well.  I still have no regrets in my decision to have this surgery, for it has forever changed my life.

Wow, how time flies! 7 months behind me, and down 77 lbs.  It sure feels good.  I joined Curves in January, and lost 4lbs & 4 inches my 1st month.  I was really impressed.  I'm still losing hair, just not as much.  The energy level is still low, even though I am getting B-12 shots every other week or so.  I'm anxiously awaiting my 1st year anniversary, so I cant get my long awaited tummy tuck.  That area is such an issue.  It interferes with my clothes sizes.  I have to wear a bigger size waist, but it swallows my legs.  They just don't match up.  I still have had no problems with food, I am careful not to put anything greasy or sugary in my mouth.  It takes discipline.  I'm so thankful for this life altering step I've taken, and still have no regrets.

I'm moving right along.  Doing very well.  I've lost 64 lbs., and 52 total inches.  I can eat just about anything without any trouble.  I do stay away from sweets and fried foods.  My hair is thinning badly.  I am enjoying buying clothes in the misses dept.  Can't ever remember doing that.  I hope to loose about 30 more lbs.  I still have no regrets and am very satisfied with my results this far.

My Story

7/8/08
Well here it goes, I'm  just like any other overweight person that has been researching WLS on this site.  I was directed to this site from a friend that had surgery in 2005.  I ran into her at Wal-Mart and didn't recognize her at all.  After talking to her, I wandered around the store forgetting everything that I was supposed to be getting because I couldn't get her and her transition off my mind!  She planted that small seed that continued to grow in my mind that I could possibly be successful at something I had longed for but never thought I would be able to do.  I have been overweight all my life, I have done all the diets, pills, programs and starvation but they never were sucessful long term.
