Surgeon Testimonial

Stephen Carryl, M.D.
I have yet to formally meet my surgeon but any time that I mention his name, I get amazing stories about his competency as a surgeon and that his bed side manner is excellent. I can't wait to meet him!

Time to get up off my A$$.
on November 3, 2008 7:01 am
Hi,

Well this past weekend my daughter and I were playing wii fit.  I got the game back in august and for those who may not know, the board weighs you and determines your BMI yadda, yadda, yadda.  Anywho, I haven't done a fit assessment since I got it.  So I did it and you could have knocked me over with a feather.  I'll be damned if I didn't gain about 12lbs.  It was depressing for a moment but then I really had to give myself a little tough love.  Since I started the 6 month pre approval process 3 months ago, I haven't done one thing.  No exercise and I've been eating whatever I wanted.  I've seriously just been sitting on my ass and waiting for the surgery.  NO MORE.

As of today I am start a regular exercise regiment and I'm cutting back on all of my indulgences.  This morning when I woke up I did 10 crunches lol (gotta start somewhere).  I ate oatmeal & a banana for breakfast as opposed to egg & cheese on a roll w/jelly (yeah I said it jelly). lol

If nothing else I want to loose the 12lbs. that I put on.  But in reality I want to get into and look good in this Baby phat dress that I have my eye on for my cruise in February. 
I'm gonna try to figure out how to put a ticker on my page so that I can track my progress.

Ciao, Ty

Hi all,

so I've been roaming around the site and kind of stumbled on the OH memorial.  Exactly, The good news is that the majority of the people there past from unrelated wls problems.  However, there are some people who have.  Currently I'm half way through my approval process and I have 3 months left before I get a date but I really started trippin' on that.  I don't want to sound like a pessimist but it's a reality.  Right now I'm just going to focus on the success stories that I've been reading and keep a positive outlook.  I'm also going to add a prayer every nite for a successful surgery for myself and everyone else.  

On a lighter note, I've completed all of my pre approval tests.  Two days ago I did the sonogram, x-ray and pulmonary test.  Now I just have to wait for all of the results to be forwarded to my pcp so that they can put the package together and send it to my surgeon.

That's about it for now TTYL.

Psych your mind
on October 28, 2008 7:30 pm
Hey guys so I realized that I'm on OH just about every day but I never post.  I have to start putting these thoughts on the page.  Anywho, about two weeks ago I did my blood work and today I went for my psych eval.  The eval. was with Dr. Katrib, he waited until I was in the office to tell me that he had never done a wls eval. before and that his supervisor would be sitting in.  Well, this chick took over the entire evaluation and she didn't seem as though she understood that this is my last resort and that I have done it all.  Then she kept asking me why I'm not having the surgery at her hospital like she was trying to recruit me or something.  Y'all if she doesn't clear me for surgery I don't know what I'm going to do.  Pray for me please .

Feeling like a failure
on October 15, 2008 12:34 pm
Hi OH Fam,
I'm feeling bummed out out today.  Last night I caught The Biggest Looser on TV.  Now ever since the show started a few years ago, I loved it.  But last night was my first time watching since I started this journey towards WLS.  I know that the people on the show have a unique once in a lifetime opportunity that isn't afforded to everyone, but I can't help feeling like failure when I think about past seasons how I watched these people transform from week to week.  Why can't I lose weight like that on my own without the surgery. 

P.S. I'll post some pics as soon as possible.  I hate going to pages without pics.
