Sina Matin I first met Dr. Matin at the Baylor Irving seminar in June. I chose him because he seemed to be very approachable and informative. He was also not all "everything is going to be perfect afterwards" because I didn't want that. I wanted real answers, the good and the bad.
I also chose him because a co-worker had her gallbladder removed by him and she really liked him. She said he was very good about coming around and checking on her and informing her parents of what was going on while she was recovering and asleep when he came by.
I had my first consultation with him on 9/6 and again, I felt comfortable with him at his office. His assistant, Veronica is very nice and friendly too. I really didn't have that many questions for him because I have done so much research. He gave me some info on the surgery and recovery process and said that I should do well because of my height and age. All went smoothly and I am ready to go now!!
I look forward to having him do my surgery and becoming his patient for life.

Stuck Again I am now at 295 and have been for about a week. I seem to go between 295-298 daily. I know I am not eating the right things and that I am forming bad habits. I have to make changes and be able to stick to them. I purchased a food diary this weekend and some good protein cookbooks and am planning on doing better this week. I still don't eat much but I know I still am not always making the best choices for myself. Of course, the fact that nothing makes me dump doesn't help me. I am hungry a lot too and don't know why. I thought that would end, but I still have this unsatiable appetite and am constantly thinking about what I am gonna eat next!!! The fat girl in me is taking over.
Well, I have lost 70lbs and it feels really good. I am trying to work harder so I can lost more by the time we go to Hawaii in March, this is a once in a lifetime trip and I hope to be able to take some nice pictures that I don't cringe when I see myself. I starting going to the tanning place last week, I don't want to arrive in Hawaii all glowing white. I always think I look better with some color on my skin and so I am working on that part too.
Clothing is still a pain, nothing fits. I buy new clothes and they fit for a couple of weeks then starting look all baggy. I can't wait until I get to my goal size, I am going on a big shopping spree!!
Let's hope this week things get better at work and with my eating habits and that I am able to make some positive changes and start doing more exercise. I know things will pickup when I start moving more.
