Surgeon Testimonial

Marek Lutrzykowski, M.D.
I was immediately put at ease after meeting Dr. L. I was nervous walking into his office, probably from not knowing what to expect but those feelings quickly left. He went over the surgery in detail, asked me why I chose DS over RNY and said that I had chose the DS for the right reasons. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and spent a great deal of time with us going through all of my paperwork thoroughly. His staff is great! Very friendly, welcoming and easy to talk to.

my weightloss journey


I'm going backwards!
on March 19, 2007 1:41 pm
I'm 6 weeks out and I am soooo soooo so sick of being sick!  I was doing better 3 weeks ago.  At least at 3 weeks out I could cook a meal and sit down with the family and eat a few nibbles.  But right around then I started feeling nauseous after everything I ate.  I started vomiting right around the same time.  Since then I've vomited at least a dozen times or more.  If I take a couple of bites of pretty much anything I get a pain right at my breastbone which feels like I need to have a drink to try and push whatever it is down but the drink doesn't help the stuck feeling.  In the past week I've started feeling like I've got constant morning sickness.  The smell of food makes me ill which makes it really hard to cook my kids lunch and my family dinner while I try and keep myself from retching.  My saving grace lately has been lactose free milk.  It seemed to be the only thing I could stomach and get a decent amount of protein from.... until this morning that is when I threw that up as well.  Stephen come home for lunch today and I'm standing in the kitchen with my shirt pulled up over my nose so that I don't have to smell his and the kids food.

I've gone out to a lot of different grocery stores and markets in the area looking for neat little protein packed foods that I might find appetizing.  I do find some great things but after only a few bites I feel sick and then I don't ever want to eat that item again.  So I'm spending a huge amount of money on food that is getting wasted and I'm afraid that I'm running out of new and inventive things that might actually settle in my oversensitive gut.

My trips to the bathroom are starting to become less and less as well.  I don't go three times in the morning like I used to.  Infact there are sometimes a couple of days between my trips to the toilet for a bowel movement.  On top of all this, I woke up this morning with pins and needles in my left arm.  My baby finger and my ring finger especially and then a line of pins and needles all the way up to my elbow.  It's been 6 hours now and it still hasn't gone away.

I'm so frustrated by it all that I'm actually in tears about it today.  Blech! this totally turned into a whine.

One Month Update
on March 3, 2007 12:11 pm
Well I've lost a grand total of 27 lbs.  I lost 22 very quickly and then slowly lost another 5 in the last couple weeks of the month.  I've had some issues with dizzy spells and feeling as if I were going to black out but those sensations seem to be subsiding now.  My PCP had me do some bloodwork so I should have the results from that back in the next couple of weeks.  I feel like I am starting to get some of my energy back now.  I think I'll go back to work in the next couple of weeks.  I'm actually surprised at how much I miss it.  That little bit of adult conversation does wonders for the human psyche LOL
