Surgeon Testimonial James Foote, M.D. I first met Dr. Foote the night of the orientation. My first impression of him was that he is a very kind caring Dr. with a sense of humor. I like that in a Dr. as opposed to someone that is so sour and serious. So that really impressed me, and helped ease some of the nerves of checking into this surgery. I also found out that he is a Christian...which means alot to me. :o) My husband and I met with him for my counseltation, we were both very happy and comfortable with him. He went above and beyond to make sure he explained everything to us. He never made our visit with him feel rushed, and took the time with us. He also made sure he answered all of our questions, and explained some of the pre/post op things that will be going on. I really liked his nurse, she was very nice. The office ladies were nice too. They all made you feel very comfortable, and didn't look at you as being overweight. Just an all around comfortable feeling. Member Interests

August 2007 1 year post op
 August 29th, 2007 I had my 1 year post op appt. today, and it went great. Amazing at how fast the time really flew. It has been one wonderful year for me with all the changes. I would still like to lose another 20 lbs, sure hope I can. My labs all came back perfect which was great to hear. Met with the Dietician, the Behaviorist and a Physician Assistant. They were all wonderful and very informative. I have an appt. to go back on Sept. 6th to see Dr. Foote for my hernia. I cant wait, I plan on giving him a big hug, and getting a picture with him. I cant thank him enough for helping me get my life back. Until Later.... Hugs & Blessings to all August 16, 2007 Well here I am, 1 year post op, and loving my new life. I weighed in at 151 lbs. with a total loss of 118 lbs, and a total of 107 inches off my body. WOW oh WOW, almost hard to believe what this past year has done for me. I now enjoy and love life to the fullest. I took pictures, and will be posting them side by side of my pre/1yr post op. I think I am still in awh when I look at them like that, as I look like a completely different person. My love life with my husband is totally awesome now, something I havent had in years, and he sure is enjoying it too. I am a whole new different mom now to my sons, which they enjoy so much more. I go out in public not being ashamed of the way I look, and not feeling imbarrassed for my husband or sons. I get looks like I havent gotten in years, which feels nice. I have some saggy skin on my tummy, but that is about it. I am so pleased with the way I look, altho I could have a few small "touch ups", in some places, but wont complain. I still do great at eating what I am suppose to. Eggs and Pasta still seem to get alittle stuck, so if/when I do eat them, it is very little. Weightloss has slowed way down, which I was hoping it wouldnt do. I still would love to lose somewhere between 16-25 lbs, and will probably struggle to do that. When they tell you to take full advantage right after surgery to exercise, you better do it. hehe Something I wish I would of pushed myself harder to do. Thank you all for taking the time to read my profile and updates. I hope you enjoy it, and wish you the best of luck on your journey. Until Later.... Hugs & Blessings to all 1 Comment(s)
