Surgeon Testimonial

Gerald A. Cahill M.D.
Dr. Cahill has been nothing but the best!! When I first met with Dr. Cahill in January 2010 I knew he meant business at getting my weight down as much as possible. I knew I couldn't do it just on his advice only. I had to work hard at it as well. His staff in Dyer, IN has been amazing the entire time! I trusted Dr. Cahill before my surgery but that trust grew so much more while I was in the hospital. Dr. Cahill and John Karl have THE BEST bedside manner compared to any doctor I have ever had. My wife is having the surgery by the end of the year. When she saw how much they were involved with my well-being she was extemely impressed. We both are very very happy we chose Dr. Cahill to do our surgeries! He explains everything to you in great detail to make sure you understand everything correctly. I had my surgery on September 28th and am very happy the way Dr. Cahill, John Karl and the rest of his staff has treated me! I couldn't have chosen a better surgeon!

Been a long time..
on April 22, 2012 10:49 am
It's been a long time since I posted on here. Since then I changed jobs, enrolled in school, got separated from my wife Jennifer. Still trying to lose as I have regained some. Trying to stay focused on keeping my sanity in check and not losing focus on how I got here. Have to keep faith. That's about all I have right now to keep me going.

6 Months Post Op
on April 7, 2011 5:56 am
Well, it's been six months since I had surgery. Down another 20lbs since my last visit with my surgeon. I just went yesterday. Have to get me labs drawn this Friday. I have a feeling their going to be low because I have been taking my vitamins just not as regular as I should! It was hard getting them down or taking them with anything. But I now found a way to get them down that works for me, applesauce and splenda! The vitamins kill the taste and look of the applesauce but then adding splenda to it gives it a sweeter taste that I can do! So total I have lost is about 183lbs! Feeling great!! Got some new/used clothes from a guy at my support group! Tried on the shorts and wow!! They fit! 46 shorts!! Haven't been in those since like,,ummmm maybe 1996ish? I don't know because its been THAT long!! Fitting into 2XL shirts now!! About the same time frame as well!! 6 More months to go!!
