Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Cirangle, M.D.
My first impression was that Dr. Cirangle genuinely cares for his patients, and that continues to be confirmed every time I see him. He is very knowledgeable, no nonsense type of doctor, in that he feels that after surgery we need to held accountable for our success. I love, love, love his staff. Everyone is so very nice and helpful. I feel completely happy with choosing Dr. Cirangle. My first follow up appointment he really reminded me that I need to stay on track-pretty straight to the point, but the kick in the butt I needed.

Well, here we are, almost 2 years after my surgery. I have lost 125lbs and kept it off for almost 9 months already. It has been amazing journey, and I have realized a few things. I wll always e worried about my weight and what I eat, I will have good food days and bad food days and I don't think I'll ever have a "normal" relationship with food. I will just have to come to grips with that. I still hae to ask myself if I am eating becasue I am truly hunger, or is there some sort of emotion involved. After all, that's how I got fat in the first place, eating for emotional reasons, and I could never have admitted that before, so that is progress, I believe.
My oldest daughter daughter, Juanita, graduated from college this past Saturday, earning her Batchelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Spanish and is off to Graduate School to earn a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Basically I am just in awe and so very proud of her. She pretty much does her own thing, which sometimes makes me sad, because I feel so removed from her daily life, but I know she has to find her own way.
My baby daughter Esperanza is attending community college, working and living with my parents. She too is trying to find her own way. I have noticed over the last year or so that she has really put on some wight and want to address it with her, but as we all know from our personal journies, I don't know how or even if to address it. I just don't want her to spend so many years hating her boday, like I did. Maybe I am projecting my own issues, maybe not. I just don't know.
Things between Pancho and I have been much calmer. He hasn't had a drink in almost a year, has been dealing head on with his own issues and I have been fighting my own codependent demons almost constantly and that has been rough as well. I am trying to learn what I find acceptable and what I don't, l am learning more about boundries and trying to set and enforce them.
I have an incedible cirle of family and friends that I love beyond compare and that love me and support me in more ways than I could ever ask for and am truly blessed by each and every one of them.
If any one reads this and wants to get anymore information about my surgery and weight loss journey, I am an open bood and would love to share with you. Fell free to contact me.
Blessings to each and everyone on you, wherever you are in this incredible journey!
