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


6 months post-op!
on August 2, 2007 11:00 am
I haven't posted much lately because life really hasn't changed that much to be honest.  The pounds are still coming off but this is the first month where I've noticed a dramatic slow down.  I've been averaging about 15 lbs a month up until this month when I only lost 8 lbs.  Still nothing to sneeze at I know but it's not as much as I was hoping it would be.  I think I'm now entering into the stage where the loss will be slower and smaller from month to month.  Which I'm ok with as long as I keep going down and not up.  Since the surgery I've lost 94 lbs and I have another 56 to go until I reach the goal that I've set for myself.  I was hoping to celebrate 6 months and 100lbs lost but c'est la vie!  Maybe next month LOL

I'm still losing my hair.  It's pretty depressing because I've gone from having hair so thick that it was difficult to wrap an elastic hair tie around it twice.  Now I could wrap the same tie around it 4 times.  I don't even wear my hair up anymore because it looks silly to me.  Like I have something to prove that I can grow hair and show off my whimpy little pony tail.  Anyways, I'm hopeful that it will stop falling out soon!

I've been doing a little more shopping lately. I'm wearing a size 16 pant and an XL ladies top.  It's a bit freaky and cool at the same time, walking into regular sized clothing stores and actually trying stuff on.  The sales people don't look at you all weird like because you're shopping there.  So that is really neat.  I bought my first article of clothing from Old Navy yesterday! woohoo!  I really liked shopping in there, obviously because I made 3 trips to the dressing room with my arms loaded with stuff each time. 

So that's about it on me right now.  Hopefully next month I'll check in having reached Onederland and acheived the Century Club membership (both of them happen at the same time in my case ;-) 
TTFN!
