Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas Clark
My first impression of Dr. Clark is that he truly cares about his patients and wants us to become healthier and happier people. He outlines all the risks and benefits and will answer any question you have. He stresses that aftercare is extremely important to our success after WLS. So far I am extremely pleased with him and the WLS program is very well organized. His office staff are friendly and professional and always there for you when you have a question or a problem. rnrnDr. Clark, is one of the BEST Surgeons. Low Complication rates, Successful patients, fantastic support team. Awesome office staff. He doesn't to Laproscopic, but he makes the timiest 3 1/2 inch incison. He's awesome. Can't recommend a better surgeon. Come to VA to have your Surgery with Dr. Clark!!!

    Hi Jane, I just want to thank you for your candid posts and for the photos that you've so graciously shared with all of us. I'm having an abdominal lipectomy in two days and it's given me a true view of what I can expect. Hope you are feeling better about your surgery. I'll bet that they're right and that once your swelling has subsided you'll be very satisfied. Thanks again, Julie

Dump, De Dump dump dumpppppppp!
on November 27, 2004 12:00 am
Well, Yesterday was a real bad day for me. One of the worse since surgery. It started out fine. I took Dylan to see the Spongebob Movie. I couldn't resist and I ate two handfuls of popcorn which two hours later I dumped hard. When I got home I laid down because I felt so bad. When I woke up I had abdominal pain that started getting worse. The pain felt more muscular than internal. It was on my right side of my incision. SO I took a percocet and though it took the edge off, the pain did not go away. SO I went to bed. I feel better today but still very sore. Well, I did the hernia test and yeppers, I got a small one. I think I really over did it on Thanksgiving. I jogged 2 miles and did some abdominal crunches. I also have been coughing alot from sinus drainage which has also giving me abdominal pain.

What I'm Eating..and not eating
on November 23, 2004 12:00 am
I thought I would post what I am now eating at almost three months out.

Typical day for me is:
16 oz of water/crystal light or tea
B- 2 pieces of string Cheese- 14 g protien plus 1-2 crackers
16 oz of water/crystal light or tea
S-SF Popsicle or Fudgesicle
L-Soup or Salad or a little of both
16 oz of water/crystal light/tea
S-Lunchmeat, cheese or piece of fruit
D-Small Salad, 1-2 oz of meat/fish, brown rice
16 of water/crystal light/tea
S-Yogurt or SF pudding or low-carb ice cream


If I don't get enough protein by the end of the day, I try to drink a shake or eat a protein bar before bed. I always try to get that 64 oz of water. Believe me dehydration is not a good thing.

I got a New Furbaby!
on November 21, 2004 12:00 am
Well, I got back late on Friday from my family reunion in Massachussetts. It wasn't a fun trip but at least I got to see my grandmother on her birthday. I lost 3 pounds this week bringing my total to -54 pounds. I didn't eat good while I was away and was sorely lacking on good exercise. I'm getting back in gear today. Doing liquids for today and at least 3 miles of walking. I really wanted to be at -60 at my next appointment, I don't think I'm gonna make it.

I finally dumped on something. A protein bar that has 8 grams of sugar. I guess 8 grams is way too much. It wasn't a full blown dump, but I was extremely sleepy yesterday and had to lay down. I felt kinda yucky too.

I also brought home a surprise from my trip. I now have a new furbaby. She is a 2 month old kitten and her name is Sugar. She really sweet and playful and I just love her. She is half Seal Point Siamese and Tabby. She looks more like a Lilac Point. Except she has white paws and a white dot on her nose. She also has blue eyes and they are just beautiful. She did really good on a 10 hour drive home.

Jane's Loose 10 Pounds Real Fast Plan
on November 9, 2004 12:00 am
Well, I figured out a way to loose 10 pounds in 7 days. Get sick. Yep, I have the fall funk. A terrible head cold/coughing that has left me 10 pounds lighter. I was seriously worried about getting dehydrated that I went at least 2 days of nothing but liquids and then have slowly added some soft foods back today. It's not that I couldn't eat, it's because I couldn'r taste a dang thing. Well, at least I'll be down a total of 50 lbs by my 2 month anniversary, which is today.
