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.

Happy New Year!
on January 2, 2008 7:57 am

I can't believe that almost a year has gone by since my surgery.  Life couldn't be more normal and I couldn't be happier with the decision that I made.  I'm down to 165 lbs now, I do bounce around a little bit but that is my low for last month.  I'm getting a lot of comments from people now saying "You don't plan on losing any more do you?" or "I think you are where you need to be".... I even had someone tell me the other day that I looked like I weighed 125 lbs.... PFFT!  I laughed quite loudly after that one but people just don't take into account the size of my frame and the amount of extra skin I'm carrying around right now.  As my mother used to tell me, "You're built like a football player... or a brick sh!t house" ... so 125 lbs I will never be.  My GP told me that he'd be happy to see me at 165 lbs and the last time I was there he asked me if I was still losing.  He looked mildly concerned when I told him yes but I also reiterated that there will likely be a bit of rebound weight so going lower still wasn't a big concern for me.  I'm scheduled to go in and see him near the end of this month for my big huge list of blood work that needs to be done so I'm sure we'll discuss this issue more then.  Anyways, I'll update again in a few weeks when I have my one year surgiversary!
