Robert Cywes, M.D., Ph.D. When I went to his seminar my very first impression was he is very good looking.. :) After I got over that part and actually started listening to him talk my next impression was that he is a no nonsense kind of guy. He tells you exactly how it is such as people are overweight mostly because they eat too much and exercise too little. He gives you both the good and the bad of both the gastric bypass and the lap band surgery. He tells you that he thinks the lap band is better and that is the only WLS that he does but, its your decision and you should do what's best for you. Makes perfect sense to me. I am looking forward to working with him on my journey to a healthier me.

Thursday is your
day! Just remember
you are on the
journey of a
lifetime. Try to
enjoy every minute.
It may sound weird
now, but know that
you are cared for
and prayed for here,
and all too soon
this will be but a
memory and you will
be an inspiration to
someone else. I am
waiting for you on
the losers' bench!
I have been so bad about updating this blog. Its been almost a year since I've written anything. In that time so much has changed. I had my lap band surgery on Sept 27th, 2007 on the day of surgery I weighed 310 pounds. That was 36.5 pounds less than when I started this journey on March 21, 2007. I've had 3 fills since surgery with the most recent one on December 14th during that office visit I was down to 286 pounds and a total weight loss of 60.5 pounds. That in itself is amazing. I haven't been below 300 pounds in more than 15 years. I can't believe how much better I feel and how much more energy I have. This journey has been completely amazing so far and I can't wait to see what is in store for me down the road.
