Surgeon TestimonialBrian Gluck, D.O.Dr. Gluck was straight and to the point, but yet kind. He told me right out that he might not be able to do my surgery if I had to much scar tissue and I just told him to do his best, well I had to have an extra hole in my stomach, but he got the job done.
His bedside manners are great, likes to joke a bit and does it at the right time.
All in all, I would recommend him to do surgery for anyone interested. Member Interests

it's been awhile... I am now 4 months out... on November 22, 2008 7:10 am
Well, it is nearing Thanksgiving and I am down 67 pounds...woo hoo.
I feel great all the time, I love being around my family and actually doing more activities.
I even went back to work and can stand on my feet without the aches and pains.
I am not swimming anymore, but do exercise 3-5 days a week at a friends house and I have an ab lounger that i use at least 5 days a week.
I have had so many compliments, I just get all teary eyed about them, making me feel so warm and fuzzy!!!
I am having a hard time getting all my protein in, as I am not hungry, so I still drink a protein drink a day to help out. I am so thankful for everything God has given me and my family.

Summer is over already, where has the time gone? I am swimming 6 days a week, and exercising 5 days. I have lost about 45 pounds and feel great. I bought me some clothes that actually fit and when I went to Church Sunday, wow, I was shocked, I had so many compliments it was almost embarrasing, but I liked it..LOL.

Almost 6 weeks post op on August 30, 2008 7:01 am
Well, I am feeling great, I walk at least 1 1/2 miles everyday, I will start swimming everyday starting Tuesday, I will try to go to the gym at least twice a week. I have lost 35 pounds since my liquid fast July 6th, as I have said in the past I didn't get weighed right before surgery. I was having some problems with my left side and a sore muscle, but I have given up riding my bike for a while and that really seemed to help, it feels SO much better.

I just got home from seeing the RN, I got my last 6 staples out and 2 stitches, she says things are looking good, lost 28 pounds. I do need more of a variety of things to eat, then suggested some things I might consider, so I will try them, because next week I see the Dietician and will be introduced to different foods, and I want to be ready. I would love to hear what other people are eating to get their protein at 2 weeks out. Thanks, God Bless

8 days postop on July 30, 2008 3:41 am
I feel good, I walk @ least 7 times a day @ 6-7 minutes. I get all my protein and liquids in like I am suppose to do. I can start feeling the difference already after 21 pounds, can't imagine what it will be like after 100+ pounds. I wish everyone going thru this Good Luck. Bless you all.

My Story
I have been heavy every since I can remember, I have gained and lost weight so many times I believe I am a yo-yo. Just 8 years ago(Jan.2000), I went on the "Subway" diet. For 8 months I ate, slept and drank Subway, yes indeed, breakfast lunch and dinner was nothing but Subway food, drank alot of diet coke to take the edge off the hunger. I actually lost 70 pounds. Then the end of Oct. I met my husband, he told me I didn't have to work if I didn't want, thought that was pretty special, so quit Subway and about 3 months after that, I started putting the weight right back on again. I got up over 300# at one time, because my scale wouldn't register..found out it was because it only weighed to 300#. So went on another ''diet'' oh boy lost about 20 pounds so I could see when I got down below 300. I weighed 287.5 last doctors visit and I am looking forward to my new life style.
