Surgeon Testimonial

Salvador Ramos II
He is a fantastic surgeon! From the moment I first met him at my consultaion, he put me at ease. My surgery took a little longer than planned and he worked very hard not to have to open me up. He said he owed it to me for all my hard work and weight loss before surgery. I highly recommend him to anyone!

I'm home
on August 15, 2008 2:08 pm

I'm on the road to recovery!  I had a few rough days, but i'm feeling a little better each day.  Just trying to sip my water throughout the day and focus on getting all my protein in (which is a lot harder than I thought).

I know this was the best decision I ever made.

Well, it's finally here!  Thought i'd be scared or nervous at the very least, but NO WAY!!  Tomorrow is going to be a new beginning, and I can't wait.

Thank you, everyone, who supported me along the way

Pats on Monday

I can hardly believe the days are going so fast.  Monday July 21, my husband and I have our PATS and i'm soooooo excited.  LOL.....who knew I would ever look forward to being poked and prodded.

I'm counting the days down until August 6th.  This is going to be the rebirth of me.

Approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on May 25, 2008 6:11 am
It's been a while since i posted, but I received my approval letter in the mail about a week ago.  I was beyond excited.  I immediately faxed it to Barix, and they called this past Thursday to say everything is in order, just waiting for the Dr. to sign off so they can schedule for PATS and a surgery date.

Look out new, healthier me......Here I come!

My Story

Mine is the classic story of struggling with weight my entire life.  I look back at pictures of me as a small child with my chubby cheeks and round belly.  Adorable when you're three, but not so much when you're 34.  

I've been researching WLS for over 5 years now, and I'm finally able to have my dream of being healthier and thinner a reality.  My husband and I had our consultation on January 24, 2008 at Barix Clinic in Groveport Ohio.  We are currently in the process of going through a 12 week behavior modification program required by our insurance.  I'm so thankful that we have each other to share all the ups and downs of this process with.  I couldn't do it without him.

Life is great, and it's only getting better!
