Surgeon Testimonial Paul Cirangle M.D. Dr. Cirangle is the BEST. He is tops in the field! I thought he was very competent, he is serious not a joking kind of man, but that was okay with me. The office staff was very nice, sometimes it was hard to know who to call with my questions, but they always answered them when i called. I highly recommend Dr. Cirangle to everyone!!

7+ mos......the good, the bad, and the ugly...............
Aloha Family.............. A quick disclaimer....not everyones surgery journey is the same.... I am in week 31 post-op.....that is 7 months and one week. The good..........I am down 76 lbs (from 223 to 147), have a normal BMI at 23, only need to control my type 1 diabetes with insulin shots no longer need to be on my insulin pump, have more energy. (thank goodness the GOOD is GOOD!!) The bad...........I have been in the same weight bracket for over a month (145-148) (messes with your mind, when you are used to the scale going down almost on a daily basis to see it stop, go up, go down, not move!!) The ugly................my mental state is really having problems. See having weight issues all my life (I know I am preaching to the chior here  ) staying the same weight and even gaining a pound or two, really hits into the "old way of thinking".....freaki For the last few weeks, I have been staying calm. Reminding myself that my BMI is normal (that has never happened). Not weighing everyday. But the truth of it all is, i have let myself have a bit of slack in the food part. A few bites of birthday cake, a few pieces of chocolate, a bit of pizza. (Now for you newbies or pre-ops please don't worry...i literally mean a few bites of cake. Pre-op that would have meant a few pieces of cake.) I am no where near a sabotaging mind set and eating myself into a coma, but I definately have not been so compulsive about my eating like I was in the first 6 months. Which is good, I was really tight about what I would not allow pass my lips. But, I think this is what happens when you do let "regular" food pass those lips. Like Carbs, sugar, flour....the stuff we KNOW is a no, no. Anyway..........than I know I am not alone, because others have posted similar posts over the time. Can't do this trip/journey/new life without you all!!! here's to loosing the last of it and make it to goal, and maintain. :-) 0 Comment(s)
