Surgeon Testimonial

Kuldeep Singh, M.D.
I first met Dr. Singh at the seminar. He seemed very knowledgable (considering he taught the seminar). His staff is great and I can call them anytime with any question. My consult with the psych was awesome. She inspired me to do some other well needed things when the surgery is over. I would highly recommend his team to anyone.Tesha rocks! I know I struck a nerve asking a million questions. She treated every question like it was my first, and assured me that I was in good hands.

Small unfill well worth it!!!!!
on July 21, 2010 8:38 pm
I don't have an explanation for what happened. It puzzles me every time I think about it. I'm thinking the humidity, or because  I haven't jogged daily, but for several days I was unable to keep anything on my stomach. I literally was tight off of water. I called my surgeon and made an appointment Monday and was seen that day. He took out about .25cc's and it was instant relief.  He said he still wanted me to have good restriction and that I have. I now have a little less than 6cc's in my band. I feel much better than last week.  Word to the wise, "if it don't feel right, it ain't right. Ignoring it will not make it go away". Until the next time.....................

6 months, and onederland!!!!
on July 12, 2010 6:31 pm
So it's been 6 months and I can not say that I could have done this without the band. Saturday's are my weigh in days and this Saturday the scale said 199.5. I have come a long way. The lapband is definantly not an easy out. I have worked hard these past 6 months and I still have a ways to go. I am constantly learning my band and how my body reacts to it. Not quite a pro yet happy with the results. I haven't jogged daily as I would like to due to the heat, but I am still losing by sticking to the rules. I wasn't a believer at first, but patience, will power, and determination has carried me along this journey. Looking at my updated pics, I see what I wanted to be and where I am headed. After 6 months, I can honestly say, I am loving my band! All that glitters isn't gold, but I'm gonna shine as long as the light hits me!!!!!!!! Until the next time......

Wow, It's been a minute....
on July 8, 2010 7:18 pm
So much to talk about, so little space. As of today, My total loss since lap band surgery is 44.5 pounds. I'm very excited about that considering I was on vacation for 11 days the week before last. We vacationed in the mountains and something about the altitude wouldn't allow me to eat solid foods until we drove down to the restaurants. It took me 3 days to figure it out. I was scheduled for a fill this week but I rescheduled until next month. I am fine with my restriction and my loss. I know I would be in onederland if it weren't for my vacation and this sweltering heat. My everyday jogging routine has come to a screeching halt. The bright side of it is I am still losing. It's okay to take a break sometimes. Last week I went to Kohl's and purchased a dress in a medium. It fit GOOD! Every brand is cut different, I am feeling this brand. Every day is a learning experience for my band and I. Patience, patience, patience.  I feel myself rambling so I'm going to end with my weight, 201.5. Up next, the 6 month update. Until the next time..............................

Small NSV
on May 17, 2010 7:50 pm
I don't know how long this has been goin on. Probably not long. Today when I walked down the stairs, I noticed my thighs no longer rubbed together.  Sounds crazy huh? I doubt if it just happened today but I felt really good about it. I'm down 34 pounds  now. The 1000 calories a day seems to be working for me right now. I am also jogging 4-5 times a week. I'm up to a little over 3 miles now. I went jogging today. (in the rain) I have been bitten by the bug and boy does it feel good. My fill seems to be at a good spot right now. I am losing weight, getting my protein and vitamins in, and not hungry at all. This lapband thing is still new to me. I learn something new every day. When people ask about it, I don't give them the pro's and con's. I just say, "I'm still new to the game. I don't want to give you false information, but I'm quite sure if you go to a seminar,  your questions will be answered". I am starting to feel better about this  journey.  Until the next time...........

3rd Fill Blues
on April 29, 2010 6:37 pm
So I went for my third fill today. The Dr. asked me if I could eat bread, and my answer was yes. He asked if there was anything I couldn't tolerate, and I said no not really. He asked how I felt about my loss, and I said it was slow but steady. He said 27 pounds was good, but he would like to see more of a loss. Yeah me too right? He was going to give me a whole cc but I wanted to play it safe and just got 1/2 cc. I now have a little over 6 cc's in my 3 month old band no leaks, (thank God) and no issues. I have been jogging and walking at least 4 times a week  for the past month. I feel as though I'm losing inches but the scale doesn't budge. I'm going to stay on liquids for a few days and wein myself back to solids. Maybe this fill kicked it up a notch. My Dr. also said, you can work out until you're blue in the face, but the weight won't come off like that until you stick to a diet of 1000 calories or less. Well damn, the nutrionalist should have told me that. All in  all I am still focused. I refuse to give up. You learn something new everyday, and that was my lesson for the day. Until the next time..........

My Story

Having two children, being promoted at work twice, purchasing a house and getting married, all within the past 5 years has led to my weights' ups and downs. I would lose 20- 25 lbs at a time, and gain 30- 40 back. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want the old me back. The sexy, hot, confident, head turning me. I've tried pills, and diets and to my avail, just money in the wind. I'm 29 years old and vow that when I hit 30 in June, it will be in a bathing suit, not a big t-shirt and a pair of boyfriend jeans. Feel free to join me on my journey and assist with any advice. I know it can't be all that good but it can't get any worse!
