Surgeon Testimonial

Sheldon Randall, M.D.
If any one is discouraged because they have to wait a while to get a appointment with him .please dont..the time will really fly by. dr randall wants to make sure that you are making the right desicion for you and no one else. thats why after his first visit you wont get a appointment with him for at least 4 months. just be patient..look at it like this the weight didnt come on overnight neither will your appointment with him. i feel blessed that i was able to have him as a surgeon. :) when i was in the hospital he was wonderful he came in and checxked on me and his other patients before he did surgery and after his surgery. i find for the miracle work that he does he is very down to earth, he has a sence of humor about himself and other things. a very warm caring docter who wants this to work for you..he knows his stuff explains everything to you ..i can understand why there was a 4 month wait to see him..god bless you dr randall......maughhhhhhhhhh..thank you for giving me my life back......he also has support meetings the last wednesday of the month at the hospital he encourages everyone to go..he needs to get a auditorium for the crowd he gets..he also makes sure that when you come home from the hospital you have aftercare..just a wondeful knowledgeble docter..if any one is thinking of getting the surgery do yourself a faver wait for your appointment with him.hes the mercedes benz of the gastric docters..hes the best......... :) 10-21-2002..thank you thank you thank you dr randall......today was my 3 month follow up and i saw dr randall today..the man is just awesome ..nice guy ..patient with qwestions and ansers..im telling you if any one is thinking of having the surgery and willing to wait a while i say go make a appointment with him..i last saw dr randall on my one year anniversary he was so proud and happy for me ! thats how he is he wants all his patients to succed..i wish to god the way dr randall has made so many people happy and healthy again he gets a touch of it back somehow..love ya dr randall your the best!

Well I guess I am back here on obesity help.com. For some reason I was banished from the land of oz due to a computer glitch for 10 months. who says technology is up to date?
It was bizzare how 15 other members and I got glitched out .. if i was a paranoid person i would say it was because i also belong to Quixotic.wls.forums, and i am a active member there.
but whatever im back...
the dust has settled and things are not as they seem.
it seems that our lady of weight loss is falling off her pedastal and plays games..
but im not going to get into that bull shit, i am here to give my opions, help if i could....

Rotten Peaches
on August 2, 2008 6:08 am
For over 3 years there is a rotten peach here who uses a revolving door..im a member im not a memeber who goes back and forth to quix insults oh as soon as she makes friends again and everything is hunky dory shes back.
thursday july 31 was the final blow for me with her.
We all can get in our little disagreements with things.
The ultimate worst thing she did was say to Kiki with a mother like you no wonder your son is a drug addict.
what the fuck is that all about?
first of all you barren thing you.. there is a reason why you have no children and you will never ever know the beauty of carrying a baby for 9 months having it grow and nuture in your uterus!
to bring up a baby and see it go from pre-school to high school to college,.
if a person is a drug addict it has nothing to do with parenting
it is a discease.
you have insulted all mothers with that statement.
i suppose if a child gets diabetes its the mothers fault also?
you are a cumdumpster, and douche bag to say what you have said.
I have always given you the benifit of the doubt but fuck you!
a leopard never changes his spots and your prooff.
karma is a bitch and watch out!
do everyone a faver and learn to shut the fuck up and think before you open your mouth!

I hate Rats.....
on July 29, 2008 2:36 pm
a long time ago in the land of oz lived a green orge and he was banned from the land of oz.
the orgre had many friends
one of his friends sent her homing pigeon to the other villagers a message saying that the ogre found his own village ..
well a rat found the message and ran to the qween to tell the qween that the ogre was forming his own village.
the qween
was pissed and threathind the villager for spreading the news.
The rat still acted like it was the villagers friend!

well it seems that the villagers are finding out the true rats colors
rats are dirty

and also have the muchinkin discease
yep val your a rat!
do you think running back to the detrowned qwen would get you any favers/
no i dont think so
your true colors sure came out
watch out for falling houses in oz and bad witches and good witches..

You know it was so sad to hear the passing of Jeremy Norman, it got me thinking about all the wonderful people who were members here that died!
Jessica O ...Sally Simptos...Momma Angel...
may they all rest in peace, they were truly angels, they supported, fought to live, and were happy to be alive!
so at christmas they are angels looking over thier familys.
rest in peace.....

My Story

I am a 5 year post-op open ryn.. The day of my surgery i weighed 329 pounds and the day of my consulation I weighed 350 pounds.
I was borderline diabetes, I had high blood pressure, I was a walking time bomb.
I couldnt get out of bed without popping 2 advils for the pain.
I was dieng a slow death maybe not from a medical view but from my view.
I had swollen hands and feet, could not walk 10 steps with out being out of breath.
I felt like a failure because i could loose weight but not keep it off.
this surgery does operate on your insides but not your head.

i know weigh 156 pounds i fluctuate between 156 pounds and 166 pounds.
I went from wearing a size 32 3x to a size 12 or 14 depending on the cut and a large or extra large top.

I have not had any reconstructive surgery im scared shit less to have it to be honest, i figure at my age i aint screwing around with the surgery gods.
im healthy
im happy
damm it life is good!
