Surgeon Testimonial

Juan Cendan, M.D.
I met my surgeon a few years ago when I was checking into getting a mole in my Birthmark removed from my leg. I talked to him about weightloss surgery a little bit while I was there. After a long ordeal with having another child and dealing with severe post-partam depression, being put on numerous anti-anxiety and depression drugs...i kept gaining weight..now here I am. I go in to meet him for pre-op on the 23rd...rnrnrnSo the 23rd came and went and I am ready for surgery! He really made me feel more comfortable about my decision and all that goes along with it..rnrnI am home now and wanted to let others know that my doctor and his staff were exceptional before and after the surgery. They came and saw me about 3 times a day each after my surgery and were always checking me to be sure that my scars were healing properly and I was progressing along okay. I am glad that I chose this staff!

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I seem to be a very strong willed person when it comes to something want...and who does not want to look good? I did really well on the Adkins diet and then got pregnant, which really was the whole purpose of losing the weight. After having another c-section, i ended up having post partum depression and could not seem to et out of it. I had a lot of personal things going on at the time and could not focus on my weight. I tended to overeat at times out of emotion and started feeling like I wanted to hide what I ate when certain people were around.

    I know you're going to do great Rachel! Looking forward to hearing all of the good news after surgery! Before my surgery, a friend prayed this prayer for me and it brought me a lot of comfort. I will be praying the same thing for you on the 29th: I will certainly be praying that God give you peace and comfort. That all fears, anxieties be subdued by God's indescribable peace. That you'll just be covered with an undeniable confidence that He is with you each step of the way. I will lift up each of the doctors and nurses that the Lord guides their hands and minds. I'll pray that the Lord works His healing power in your body during the recovery process. And that your life will be forever changed for the better !!!!!!!!! We can give Him thanks today for the Joy of tomorrow. Can't wait to hear the good news.

Has it really been that long since I posted??!! I come on here to check on everybody often...but am too busy..or too lazy to post. I sure do miss chatting with all my buddies on here..Where did everybody go?  I could sure use some supprt right now...I have not stopped needing it..Guess I should post more instead of emailing people..Might help others see that they are not alone...I am off to get my kids from school and go play the "mommy" role for the evening, but I am always here if anyone needs a friend...Blessings to you all!
