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....

long time ago on oh here i made friends with someone here, me and a group of bostonians.. all of a sudden she disapeared
she was pregnant with her 7th child, had a gorgus home, gorgus husband, sick child with cytic fibrous, played on our friendship, feelings and disapeared
kinda shitty you ask me and kinda shitty to say you have a sick kid when its all been a lie!
ya hooo mariella fuck you...
whatever your name is
older n wiser?
quinns mom ?
man you have had so many alias more than some one on the run ..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
========================================

and one more thing i was banned from oh for being a active member of www.quixotix.wls
me and a bunch of members but it was a computer glitch..
after 10 months it was a clitch..
it seems our lady of weight loss amy williams banned us all.
and was coming to quix and posing as pixie dust trolling causing havick on the boards then she got caught by sending private messeges to people signing amy..
some people cannot hold power!
yea shes a real insperation she lost over 400 pounds ..
wow..
many other people have lost over 400 pounds are they the saints of weight loss

the crow
lisa reed
sarah who is fighting skin issues
those are insperations and people to look up to..

we all lost weight with surgical intervention but didnt turn into a saint..

our lady of weight loss and dame tooter yep such wonderful egotistacal woman who never leave thier house and have power behind a computer screen..
all hail windows vista!...

yea we had avatars of fruit and we got clitched for that..
yep peach fruits...



eric if you really really want all the banned members who migrated over to
www.quixotic.wlsforum
to come back i think they want a apology from you ..
its not anyones fault but yours
you knew what was happening and did not stop the madness!

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!
