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 guess I DON't give up...I just have to do something different
I guess I decided not to give up. That would be bad....plus I would be a quitter. I decided I needed to do something different.

I have decided to start running which I stated in the giving up post...and that has been going real well. I have made a pact with another WLS friend of mine that we are going to run a 5K this summer. I AM SUPER EXCITED about that!

I haven't lost much weight, and am not sure I will get to my mini challenge goal of 195. I am currently at 200.8 and I only have a week to go. HOWEVER...I submitted my new challenge goal today for 185 for the new round, so I can only hope. That will take me to Easter.

More hard work and more determination....that's what this is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate all the support everyone has shown me.

Thanks! You guys are the best!

Katy, You better stay with it and never ever give up! Your new photos are gorgeous! Wow! You can get there below 200 I know it. This is just a plateau. Your body has to catch up and then you will start to lose more. You are inspiring. Hugs, Jennifer H.
