Surgeon Testimonial

Robert L Richard
this man has a great personality and tells it like it is. Open and honest will answer questions and work to help you achieve a goal. Aftercare is a real process with this group and support group is great. we all laugh and talk about what is going on with us. It is a new group but the doc has been doing this for years with great success. I give them the 10/10 so far . I am almost 8 weeks out .
The office staff and set up there is all getting prepared as our group just started and insurance coverage for the hospital is new. The kinks are being worked out and Nikki in the office just started with her hands full doing Great too. I have had good experience so far some in the group had insurance billing issues but they are being worked out I just wanted to make sure it is understood I am part of the Gwinnett Medical at Duluth bariatric office not seen in Gainsville. I know he is great at both offices from all I have talked to but they do not have him listed under Duluth as of this time

YooHoo I got the answer....
on May 31, 2011 7:32 am
      Well I had the older gentleman answer, just not really sure what or where to go from here.....be careful what you ask for !! Now the mental confusion and workout. Enjoyable and trying all at once. I will persevere though. 
     I wore a dress, yes a nice sundress and felt pretty. I have officially slipped into the shopping addict mode when it comes to dresses and shoes. Enjoying every minute too. I had a nice lady compliment me about the blues a time before and yesterday a lady told me At the grocery store I look really nice and comfortable in the sundress- my reply Thank You I am freezing in the store. enjoy life people

    Hey why is it I can have fun and go out to be hit on and flirted with by 25yr old males ( yes I know the meat market theory) ? I want a tall dark handsome Gentleman who will treat ME as the Princess of his world. Fairytale I know!!! But maybe there is someone out there with some of those qualities . I want a man my age or older, maybe up to 5 yrs younger. Listen I finally am feeling pretty and Frisky , Murphy's law be damned, give me a little Hope. I call out to single men Talk to a woman, not just go for the younger perky, prissy type .
    My daughter is talking to me the other night and told me "what would she do if she got divorced?"  and asking for answers to marital problems- I am divorced after a long bad marriage- Not exactly the advice giver right?! then she floored me with saying how she could not come home since I am moving on in life without them ( my girls) !!! I did not dispute I am moving on with my life- They are all growing up and becoming the adults I have worked so hard to raise. Why do they expect ME to stay available and problem solve their issues when I have new and old problems of my own? I really think counseling would benefit me in finding purpose ,yet I am working daily on myself without paying someone.
   I also have been shopping alot lately buying clothing- pretty dresses and discovering what I like and what looks good on me. FUN CITY that I will be paying for when the bills come in to be paid. Many people with weight loss I think are having the same issues. I have hit a plato for past several months and now have been accumulating  some nice clothing - still scared to buy for winter off clearance as I hope for another 20# wt loss by winter. To all of us having to buy at sale or clearance ENJOY this time since I am sure we had a long time of whatever shopping to fit or get just something because we had too. beats shopping for food to cook for everyone and not really have great expectations for myself.

    What can I say today I wore a pretty floral sundress to my daughters graduation. After we went to a restaurant they chose a buffet.... need I say more then she wanted me to eat more - get real right, where was the support? That was okay though as I am standing in line and a girl ( college age) got my attention to tell me how nice I looked in blues. she did not know me but gave a great compliment today!! love her  without  even knowing her!! My Brother and the Ex in-laws all gave compliments at the wedding that I am just hearing about now. confidence going up, up , up like this feeling .

Stress decreasing?!?!?!

    The wedding is over and the couple have gone on the honeymoon; Groomsmen did a great job getting things clean( much to my suprise) yet a few loose ends remain . Where did she rent the cake stand since I have to return since it was taken from the wedding venue? oh well calls placed this morning for info.
    My Stall is still persisting and driving me Batty. the dress I bought for the wedding fit like a glove the day I bought it but then kept sliding down at the wedding ? no weight change just redistributing ( once again away from ther boobs , ugh!!!) I have felt so nice this weekend in Sexy dresses. Just wish my daughters ( all older 17-24YR) would see me as a woman not just the old mother they do not want to think of as a sexual person. I am trying to find myself in the new role and being told I am too old or not right to wear those heels is Frustrating. Uncle Jimmy ( grooms uncle ) told me I was a Great looking woman and kept looking at me without me encouraging attention- great feeling since He was not drunk to my knowledge. He even said it in front of my Ex husband and made him uncomfortable , gotta love making EX uncomfortable !!! 
   Off to findout who the Cake stand belongs too and face Graduation for daughter #2 this week- another sexy dress I think is called for again.
