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.

Shitty Ass un-reliable Support Group at NYU Langone
on December 22, 2011 9:56 am
Part of success with any WLS, is support.  It appauls me that the people who go to NYU Langone  don't utlilize the Support Group. I arrived last night, NO ONE was there other than the dull MSW.  Last month, there were 4 people and 2 other times NO ONE!

Exercise
on December 18, 2011 9:26 am
Been exercising a lot.  Since my consultant gig ended, I've worked out everyday.  But, my legs are now REALLY sore. I've been doing 30 minutes a day all week and next week I will increase to 45min/day.  Tues/Wed I did 30 min on the recumbent bike and then Thursday/Fri I did 15 min on the bike and then 15-20 min on the elliptical.  Saturday I was out XMAS shopping, so, I just walked 3 mi.  I am not sure how many days I should do cardio and then rest, but, I can tell I need it.  I may skip the workout today.  I also just ordered a swimsuit from Lands End so I can start swimming after XMAS.  Swimming is a great workout and wonderful on the ARMS.

6th Fill
on December 5, 2011 2:26 pm
Just had my 6th fill today.  Weighed in at 205.  I'm at 9cc in my 14cc band. I don't want to get "too" full.  I am very happy with weight loss.  Short term goal?  To be down under 200lbs by January 1st?  Doable, probably. Easy?  Not so much.  Here is to hitting my next goal.
