Surgeon Testimonial

Phillip Hornbostel, M.D.
We went to the April 5th seminar and I felt so secure with my decision for the first time since I began thinking about surgery. Dr. Hornbostel is a very down to earth doctor, he knows how we got this way and he doesn't sugar coat it. I loved it when he talked about his goals for us. Each of us have an ideal weight we'd love to be but Dr. Hornbostel only cares about his goal for us which is to help us get rid of things like diabetes, arthritis, etc. He was very open about the risks of surgery and gave us information on how to recognize them. The aftercare program is very thourough. As I mentioned above I am very calm about this whole thing now and it is because of the confidence of Dr. Hornbostel and his staff.

Been Awhile

Thanks for all the encourragement this last month (I don't think I spelled that right). Time is passing and there is a lot going on. I still grieve my dad but not everyday like I was at first. THere is so much on my mind and it makes it hard to concentrate on myself.
I lost 8 lbs. this week and I am stoked about that. We are moving again so last time we did I lost a bunch all at once, so another big weight loss may be coming my way. Its a good move, out to the family land, although the trailer is a fixer upper and I am a little worried about that, it is livable and much cheaper.
Other than that things are moving along pretty normal. found out about a support group in my area and I would really like to try to make it. I think it will really help me stay on track and its just a good thing to connect with others like me, face to face, not just online.
My BF is working again after being fired. I am so upset at him about that, he swears it wasn't his fault, that the guy picked the fight and that he didn't fight back, but they sided with the other guy. I want to trust him, but i know his temper, but I also know how much he loved that job too, I don't think he would have sacrificed losing it. The job he has now is temporary and sort of top secret, so until June things will be ok but we have to keep the applications going.
The messed up thing is he was trying to get into trucking school and we couldn't afford it, and if the state had waited 2 more days to release him, he would have been able to draw unemployment and the state would have had to pay for the school. What do you want to bet they knew that when they picked the dates they did? Oh well its over and done with now but its sort of like a break-up, you feel bitter and resentful over it all the same.
Anywho, I better get back to work. Things are crazy here as usual. My walking buddy is gone, her husband had surgery, so for two more weeks I have to push myself to walk and that isn't working so far. But I am motivated and today is a new day and this is a new week.
Until next time...
