Thomas A. Jones, M.D.
Dr. Thomas Jones, was the coolest guy! He was straight to the point and really made sure I understood this is going to be success if I put me first in my life change and I make the right decisions. He made me very comfortable. Very easy to talk to and joke with. He is awesome, I would definitly refer him to others. Thanks Dr. Jones

Could I make my own choice!!!
on February 9, 2008 4:30 pm
Hello.  Could anyone tell me if they have had this problem?  I have regular dr.  which he is wonderful!!!!  at Park Nicollett.   However,  I have been speaking with his nurse regarding my consideration for the WLS.   Well, she keeps pushing my towards using the Park Nicollett surgeons.  I have went on the web site, but they don't say too much about them.   However,  I know about 6 people that had Dr. Baker in Fridely and I have read all kind of information regarding this surgeon.  I will like to work with his staff.   Could anyone tell me if they accept Health Partners Ins.  and Also, could my doctor give me a referral to Dr. Baker?  Please someone let me know!!!  I have a meeting with my Dr. next week.

Starting my journey
on February 8, 2008 10:09 am

Hello.   I am new to this.  I have been spending the last year reading everyones postings.   The good the bad.   I am in process of educating myself.  After battling back and forth with myself and fear, I have finally decided to go for it.   I have my appt with the my dr. Feb. 20th.   I think 2 1/2 yrs. is long enough.  For some odd reason I feel comfortable this time.   I am married, mother of 3.   My husband is wonderful, my children the same!!  I have thier support.  I think their worst fear is the complications part.   It seems my husband and I breathe each other.  And he stresses, there is no way he could cope without me.   I am not a big eater, I have to say.  I don't each much, but when I do finally take the time to eat.  It BIG portions.  I have been working on that for the past 6 months.  My weight goes YO-YO.   My family on both sides are pretty healthy size people(If you know what I mean).  I am tired of the yo-yo and I want to get a control of it.  I will diet and work out 2 - 4 times a week, depends when I can get in.  I will loose about 10lbs. then that is it.  I stop, then I get discourage and I gain it back and then some.  Any suggestions out there? any encourage words?

My Story

have not wrote for awhile.  Been concentrating on my journal.   Well, I went to the seminar.   Guess what they had canceled.  Now, if I was so spooked out, I know I would have gave up.   Well, I stayed persistant.  I called the next day.  The lady name Jenny (really sweet!) from the PNC Bariatric center, apologize and sent a packet so I can begin to completed.   So, I will be attending the next session(Hopefully won't be cancelled ha!ha!)   I met with my primary doctor,  Dr.  Brown, he is soooooo awesome.  I have been talking with him about my weight, for about 3 1/2 years.  I have tried so many diets and weight loss programs, it is unreal.  I even tried the stuff, that people have made up, that supposedly work for them.   I loose and then I regain back with a vengence!!!  

I have the most wonderful husband!!! I had to fight with him regarding my decision.  He is uncomfortable because of the risk.  I can truly say we breathe each other.   He has said many of times, he would not know what to do without me.   My teenager girls!!! 18 and 17 and then I have a little princess she is 5yrs old.  I look at her everyday and ask myself, how would she handle it with me not being here, because of my health.   I've had some embarrassing times in my life, not being able to ride at amusement parks because the bars will not close, not being able to sit in the same seat with my husband, because I am too wide!!,  And I am oh so tired of the comments" She has a beautiful face", "Her make-up is pretty".   Even, being qualified for a certain postion, the look(in the face) the personality and the voice, but have been picked over, because of my weight.  They try not to tell you, but you know, deep down inside.  The person they pick, just did not fit, but she is the right size.   Airplane, sooo uncomfortable.  Work place, I have to use the handicap stall, because I don't have to turn side ways to go in.  Among other things, that I wish not to go into.   But I am taking back control of my life and planning on living a very LONG and active life with my family.  I have ask God, before I leave here I want to experience being married and share having children with someone there at my side, and he has granted me that.   Now, I ask that he allow me to grow old and see my great great grand children.  I believe he will grant me that too. Bye Everyone!
