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.

Finally officially below 50lbs lost
on February 17, 2012 6:22 am
While I haven't done much "traditional" at the gym exercise this week, I've had a lot on my plate but have been walking up a storm, I did manage to lose some weight. The scale read 195.7 this am so I am now at 51lbs lost.

All my old clothes post-RNY, Post-LBL now fit
on February 14, 2012 3:48 pm
While I still am not at my pre-low (175 or 183), I can fit into all the pants I wore when I was that size.  My guess is that while my weight is still not there, my body is from working out.  Also, I guess my TT has held up better than I anticipated.

Too tight?
on February 12, 2012 4:42 pm
I think I might be too tight. I am belching like crazy and I am full after only a few bites and yesterday, I purged up my breakfast and lunch.  I also did the same last night with leftovers.  I made some quiche tonight, which is soft, to see if that helps.  It it continues tomorrow, I may go get an unfil.

Dumping Syndrome gone with BOB
on February 9, 2012 6:19 am
So, I used to dump on ceral & milk, bday cake & milk or ALWAYS with the 1st glass of any type of alchol.  Now that I've been Banded (Band over Bypass), the dumping has stopped. I wonder why.  I mean, the band around my pouch allows liquid to go through quickly.  Not sure as to why but happy that its stopped bc dating over drinks used to make me a sweaty mess!

dropped a few lbs
on February 1, 2012 6:32 am
 197.2 this morning.  I think the re-direction of my time and feeling less depressed this week has helped.  I also think the "minor" fill on Saturday may have contributed as well.  Only time will tell.
