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 !

    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

GAINING WEIGHT, NEVER SAY NEVER !
on June 19, 2007 8:49 am
WELL, IT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I WAS GAINING WEIGHT AND WAS SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL ONCE AGAIN...BUT HERE I AM AND PUTTING IT IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR ALL TO SEE. MAYBE IT WILL HELP SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEHOW....
I GOT AND STUCK TO ABOUT 178-188 AND JUST KINDA WENT BACK AND FORTH FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE LOWEST I GOT WAS ABOUT 160 BUT THAT WAS SHORT LIVED REALLY.  ANYWAYS, I STARTED JUST EATING M & M'S ON A DAILY BASIS AND DRINKING SONIC SODAS AND IT JUST BECAME A HABIT ALL OVER AGAIN....I KNEW IT WAS NOT WORKING, AS I WAS SNACKING ALL DAY, NOT EVER REALLY EATING ANY MEALS, ETC. I STILL CANT EAT ALOT AT ALL HOWEVER I CAN SURE SNACK ! ALSO DRINKING WITH MEALS..THAT REALLY DOES HINDER THINGS !
ANYWAYS, I GOT UP TO 208 AND SAID OH HELL NO ! I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING AND QUICK. IN A WEEK AND FEW DAYS  I HAVE LOST 6 POUNDS, WHICH I AM THRILLED OVER SO I AM NOW 202....BUT MY PERSONAL MINI GOAL NOW IS 190, THEN 175....MY FINAL GOAL AT THIS POINT IS 160....HOWEVER WELL DEAL WITH THAT WHEN I GET THERE. FOR ME, I AM TAKING ONE DAY AT A TIME. NO SODAS, NO CANDY...AND SO FAR SO GOOD !!! WATER,TEA AND MORE WATER AND REAL FOOD WHEN I EAT !
