Surgeon Testimonial

Michael H. Wood M.D.
From Detroit, Michigan I Did a 1 1/2 year research on Dr. Micheal H. Wood,with over 25 years of surgical experience,and a extensive back ground in weight loss surgery. I than met Dr. Wood he is great.
the staff was very friendly, kind concerned and most of all ( professional).
he has done over (4) thousands gastric surgeries, and he is the co-founder of the Sapala-Wood Micropouch.All of his surgeries are performed at Harper University Hospital.which is a Center of Excellence, they also have a whole floor dedicated to GBS.
he emphaizes very much on aftercare its not just a tool to help lose weight but turning your health around living longer.Changing your life style is a must your mental thinking plays a major part, the best being able to get off some medications if not (all) completely.
they are both great. I give Dr. Wood and Dr. Taylor 110. there is nothing negative I can say or have found. go to MyABMI.COM search the two surgeons out.

Not much to say, things are going ok, I am now 199 pounds
29 pounds to go to reach my goal (170) thank you Jesus.
the only thing I am not happy with is my energy I tuck out fast, its like something pushing me to lay down and sleep.
other than this all is well.

Sept 14 made 7 months I can't believe in such a short time I can see my feet lol, to you all may God forever bless you keep you, never give up no matter what reaching your goal is right around the corner.

Well hello my Wonderful OH family!! there is not much to say than taking it one day at a time, still learning new things about my new tool. yes, yes I can now see the real weight lose. oh my God I can see this beautiful person that was hiding for so many years. let me make it clear I am taking no credit I give it all to God, I as a OVERWEIGHT WOMAN now see this slendering woman coming forth is blowing my mind. from a 30/32 to 26/28 to 24/22 a 20 now even the 18 is too baggy on me. but there is one thing I KNOW for sure no matter what I can't let go of Gods word, I must hold even stronger to it chew it like never before. I have met some women that has had this weight surgery some reached their goal some still fighting but what I have noticed is they have changed. as if they are now the GRAND S....h...T you know what I am saying. yes change your mental thinking as far as eating, bad habits. but don't change your spirit that is your personality don't for get GOD the one who GAVE US THE DEVINE FAVOR FOR, WITH AND THROUGH THIS SURGERY.
keep encouraging yourself you beautiful butterflies. always remember someone believes in you. we are not perfect but in the spirit of GOD. we are not always going to have the answers to everything, even make mistakes, but that is why we are here on OH we got each other to help one another carry the load, cry with, Laugh with and shout a praise in God for each other.this race is not given to the swift nor to the strong, but to those who endure to the END.

I love you all, GOD bless
Linda
