Surgeon Testimonial

Shanu Kothari, M.D.
Initial impression was he was very professional and knowledgeable. He has performed over 550 WLS and everyone I have talked to that has had the surgery, has had it done by him. He is at Gundersen Lutheran in La Crosse, WI and performa primarily Laparoscopic GB but will do open if it is warranted.

I would recommend him to anyone in the area that is considering having it done. He is very in tune to the aftercare and support groups that Gundersen offers and has a fabulous dietary staff as well as surgery team that are all about the patient.

Katy, Congrats on your new beginning tomorrow. I will pray for you a smooth and quick recovery. I'm sure you'll be just fine. Remember to take it one day at a time. Save me a seat on the losers bench, I'll be there a day later.

I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on January 28, 2008 11:14 pm

What the hell? I am so tired of sitting here at 202! I am destined to never see anything below 200. I haven't been there since before 1993. This teasing me shit is really starting to piss me off, and I have had it. 16s are too big, and 14s are too tight. I am running and weight lifting every other day, and for what? NOTHING I tell you!

I never wanted to be like this. I am now starting to question why I did this. I know if I EVER get below 200, I'll be singing a different tune, but I am not counting on it.

There is so much going on in my life right now, I can't be all things to everyone and I try so hard. What's the use? Why am I doing this? Looking for sympathy...probably. Don't give me any though. This is a ship that needs no help with it's sail. This too shall pass.

Not good at the blog thing.....
on January 13, 2008 9:09 am

I am so not good at the blog thing. I had a follow up on the 19th of December, 2007, with my nutritionist and PA-C. I have officially lost 40% of my excess and my nutritionist thought my goal of 160-150 was very attainable.

I got flamed again for counting calories, as this is not a diet, but a way of life, so I am trying to better at that, but the whole too many calories thing scares me. She said if calories get to be a concern, she'll let me know when I can start to count them.

My BMI went from 41 to 34 and I am real happy about that. I have lost 54 pounds to date (unofficially) but that's what my scale at home says.

YEAH FOR ME! I started running on my treadmill every other day and have kicked my strength training into high gear. Trying to tone up the triceps. The hand waves HI while the arm is waving by. Had enough of that shit!

My plan is to run a 3 or 5K this summer...so I am officially in training for that.

RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!
