Surgeon Testimonial

Marina Kurian
She is AMAZING! I've known her since 2001 when she was at Lenox Hill where I had my RNY with a different surgeon. When I came to an info session in 2010, seeking a revision, the first thing she said to me, was "I remember you" and then when I told her how much I gained back she replied "you are still beautiful". Worried about what I was to do, DS, RNY-RNY or a BOB, she guided me thru the process to the BOB. She knew my weaknesses (wine) and my strengths (exercise) and gave me the information and knowledge to make a educated decision. I went with the BOB. When my Mom, who was totally supportive with the RNY in 2002, objected, Dr. K spoke to her on the phone, answering all her questions. The night before my surgery, I spoke with her on the phone and she reassured me of my decision. Today, I am 4 mos out, have restriction back and down over 40lbs, and I am 16lbs to goal. Dr. Kurian has been as advertised as I knew she would be.

Not sure if it's bc I am eating too fast or too much but twice today, breakfast and lunch, and twice this week, everything came back up, or didn't even go down.

What a week is was
on October 10, 2011 10:54 am
 Haven’t posted in a bit. Last week was the mother of all weeks. On Monday, I got layed off. On Tuesday, after texting bf that I got laid off, he stopping calling/replying to texts hence dumping me.  On Wednesday, my mom had a manic episode that lead to a psychotic breakdown.  On Thursday, she gave away my game 5 Phillies playoff tickets which were my b-day present.  Friday, I I turned 41.  How I still managed to lose 1-2 lbs last week is purely a miracle.  While I did self-medicate on Monday evening with a 1 ˝ bottles of Pinot Noir, I stopped the day and didn’t resume the self-medication.  I had a fill today, I am down to 209.  I am at 7.6 cc in my large band (14cc) and I feel really good. I’m the thinnest I’ve been since April 2007 and I am 20lbs from my 1st short-term goal of breaking 189 and 34lbs from my surgery goal of 175.  Not sure at which point I make a 3rd goal, perhaps once I hit 175.  It would be a dream to be 150.
