Surgeon Testimonial

David S. Hall, M.D.
Dr. Hall is a nice, quiet man, that definatly knows his business. He has an excellent bedside manner and amazingly understanding to obesity issues. He has been doing this for many many years, is kept up to all the latest information, and once at the consiltation, he shares everything he can with you, so you leave knowing exactly what is going on and when. He encourages a person to really know in their heart and mind that this surgery is for them, and those that seem unsure or not very informed, he reminds to take more time if they feel they need to do so. He does not make you feel pressured into the surgery, he does not try and sway you to the VBG versus the RNY, as some have said. He lets you decide what is best for your lifestyle. He has a wonderful after care program, which I will be using, and offers his advice and guidance each step of the way. His staff is wonderful, compassionate and caring. Carol really is the BEST and will help you so much! Thumbs up for Dr. Hall !

    Went to visit Jen yesturday in Lubbock and is doing much much better. She is to be discharged today from the hospital and will stay Sunday eve at her bro-in-laws house and will leave Monday after lunch. She is in good spirits and her pain is down alot from what it was. Yesturday we had a very good visit and walked every 30 min! She is doing exactly what they are telling her and is ready to see the new her! She has already lost several pounds!!! YEAH JEN!!!! We have been best friends for 21 years and I don't know what I would ever do without her. I am so proud of you Jen and what you have gone thru to get to this point.

    Hi Jennifer. I'm sorry you're in pain, but within a few weeks you'll be feeling so much better and losing weight. I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to post before now. I wish you the speediest recovery! Hugs from Linda Jones

LOOSING AGAIN AND DANG,WHAT A DIFF 12 LBS MAKES !
posted on 10/12/07 2:34 pm
WELL, I HAVE LOST 12 POUNDS SINCE RE-VAMPING AND MAKING NEW CHOICES....AND SO IT IS GOING WELL. SLOW BUT WELL SO I AM HAPPY. 
I GUESS I NEVER REALISED HOW DIFFERENT 12 POUNDS CAN MAKE YOU FEEL. I MEAN, WHEN I WAS 340 POUNDS, LOOSING 12 POUNDS, YOU COULDNT TELL I HAD LOST ANYTHING...BUT NOW, LIKE TODAY, PEOPLE THAT I SEE SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ARE GOING "GIRL YOU HAVE LOST WEIGHT !" ....AND I AM AMAZED ! I CAN TELL IN SOME WAYS ( OTHER THAN THE SCALE OF COURSE) BUT IN THINGS LIKE MY STOMACH, ETC BUT NOT SO MUCH IN THE CLOTHES....SO THIS IS COOL.  YOU DONT REALISE WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES GOING FROM HEARING ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU FIRST HAVE WLS "DANG, YOU ARE LOOSING, DANG YOU ARE LOOKING GOOD, ETC ETC..." BUT THOSE WORDS, SIMPLE AS THEY SEEM REALLY DO KEEP YOU ON TRACK AND GOING STRONG...WHAT IS FUNNY IS I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN IT ALMOST GOT TO THE POINT OF MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN SOMEONE WOULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ME LOOSING...AND NOW, HERE I AM NEEDING TO HEAR IT ....STRANGE HUH ? 
ANYWAYS, WHAT I AM DOING IS NOT SNACKING. I GOT TO BEING OLD JEN IN SNACKING ALL DAY LONG, LITERALLY...WHETHER ON KING SIZE HERSHEYS WITH ALMONDS, TO JUST CRACKERS AND SUCH.....NO GOOD.....I WOULD MAKE MYSELF DUMP, OF COURSE AND THEN WELL RIGHT AT IT AGAIN. SO NOW, I AM EATING BREAKFAST( I BRING TO WORK WITH ME ) AT ABOUT 9 AM ( NORMAL BREAKFAST IS A SMUCKERS PBJ) , THEN LUNCH, LEFTOVERS BUT A CONTROLLED PORTION BUT PLENTY, AND THEN DINNER....I DO EAT POTATOES, BREAD, ETC....I EAT WHAT I WANT...BUT  I AM ONCE AGAIN LEARNING THAT I HAVE TO BE IN CONTROL. 

IS IT HARD ? YES ! 

AM I ALWAYS GOING TO BE ADDICTED AND LOVE FOOD ? YES !
BUT I HAD THIS SURGERY TO CHANGE MY LIFE, I AM NOT GOING TO RUIN THAT CHANCE NOW.....SO HERE I BE...IN ALL MY GLORY....BUT YES, I AM BACK UNDER 200 POUNDS...I AM AT 195 AND HOPING TO REPORT NEXT WEEK THAT I HAVE MADE IT UNDER THAT SOON TOO !

KEEP ON GOING GANG. WE ALL DESERVE TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT OURSELVES !
