Surgeon Testimonial

Muhammad A. Jawad, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Jawad was that he seemed very knowledgeable. His office staff are wonderful! They were all very helpful and supportive. Dr. Jawad is adamant that his patients keep their G-tube for 5 weeks after surgery. This is to insure that patients having issues with eating and drinking do not become hospitalized due to dehydration or malnourisment. Dr. Jawad's office is adamant that they want to see their patients through the duration of their lives. He stresses the importance of regular bloodwork and checkups to insure his patients' health and well being. Dr. Jawad's aftercare program is very structured. Before you leave, they have scheduled you for your next appointment. His office also holds monthly support group meetings. He addressed the risks during a pre-op informational session. I rate Dr. Jawad a 10.

Slow and somewhat steady...
on July 11, 2008 10:36 am
I am going down so SLOWLY!!! It drives me crazy! Really, I only have myself to blame. I have not been focusing on my exercise, although I have cut back on my carb intake. I am going to get back on track starting today. All I can do is try, right? I have on a pair of sz 14 stretch jean capris from Target right now. When I tried them on a couple of months ago, they were SUPER tight! Picture the muffin top from hell! :) I had to postpone my 9 month checkup with Dr. J and they couldn't reschedule me until the end of August. Probably b/c I asked for the first appointment of the day in the hopes that when they weighed me it would be less than at any other time of the day. Too bad I can't get on their scale nekkid! ;) I was at 216 this AM. I am going to work my but off to get as close to 200 or under as possible before my appointment. I am so disappointed in my weight loss that I imagine that Dr. J's office will be too. I have faith that eventually it will come off. I just have to do what I need to do to help it happen faster. I will think of what I need to do over the weekend and come up with a plan.

I had dinner with a surgery twin in June, and she is doing GREAT! I am so happy for her. It was nice to talk to someone who is going through the same/similar experience as me. I am still not into having my picture taken so my avatar is still from my cruise in May. I don't think that there has been much change since then so what you see is basically what you get.

I hope I will have better things to report next month.
