Surgeon Testimonial

Kenneth M.R. Warnock
I had my first consultation with Dr. Warnock on September 8, 2006. He is a very gentle and kind man. He let me know all of the risks and was very compassionate. My first appointment was scheduled for 5:00 PM on a Friday. At first I thought I would be rushed in and rushed out. (Everyone wants to go home at 5:00 PM on a Friday, rght?) I did have about an hour wait in his office but when I did get in to see him I did not feel rushed. He took his time explaining the process, the surgery, and its risks to me. I hate Doctors but I do look forward to my next visit with him and my next step towards a new life.

I saw Dr. Warnock on April 20 for my 3 (4) month follow-up.  He is such a kind Doctor.  He was happy with my progress and talked with me about changes I could be making.  

I admitted to not exercising like I should.  I just don't know what to do with myself.  I have a treadmill...Could get up early but I never do.  Could use it after the baby goes to bed, but I never do.  I am active in other ways that I never was before.  I usually do not sit still for very long.  I am now trying to purge my house of things I have not used in years.  why I kept these things I'll never know.  They are just taking up space.  I also decided to sell Mikie's old clothes at a friend's garage sale.  Had six totes of clothes he can no longer wear.  I do not plan on taking any more foster babies so why keep them.  (Of course, the minute I say this DHS will probably call me needing a placement!)

He told me to avoid popcorn...it is very easy to eat too much of it.  No popcorn left in the house now.  He also suggested eating my proteins now without sauces, etc.  I love egg salad but he suggested a hard-boiled egg instead.  I get bored with foods very easily lately so I am constantly trying something new.  I use to hate fish and now I crave it.  Had grilled salmon for lunch.  Yuummoo!

I go back in July for my (technically) 6 month check up and get blood work done then.

Okay, so I finally downloaded my picture from 2 months post-WLS (February).  I need to take another picture since I hit the 100 pound mark.  Maybe I will do that tonight and upload it tomorrow.  At least I can see a difference from before WLS to the last pic.  My 5 year old nephew is with me in the picture and at that point I had lost a little over 50 pounds (which is what he weighs!).  I am looking forward to posting a picture with my 15 year old nephew next to me (he weighs 165!).

Well, finally a move in the right direction!  I stopped weighing for a few days and yesterday I got on the scale and was down4 pounds.  Today those 4 pounds are still gone...so maybe the dreaded stall is finally over!  I sure hope I can reach below 275 by the time I see Dr. W. on the 20th.  Of course, his scales weigh like 6 pounds heavier than my home scale so that means I would have to be at 269.  Do-able...we'll see.
