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!!

    Hi Jen! I just wanted to wish you all the best on Tuesday. You're gonna do great. I'm making room on the bench for you. Remember to sip and walk when you can, it really makes all the difference. I'll be looking forward to your updates when you can.

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

BIG DAY...........................
So where to start..........................................

Well, yesterday was my 8 mo. surgiversary.  8 months of getting healthy, 8 months of being happier, 8 months of me reamerging, 8 months of finding what i want...............it has been a great 8 months.

Then today..............GOAL!!! yup, it is my goal. I wanted my BMI at 22, right in the middle of normal so i have some wiggle room but am not too skinny. A gal gotta have some curves!! :-)

So, I am pleased to announce that I am done. I am going to figure out how to maintain. I see Dr. C this weekend to tell him I am done and that this has been worth every penny....worth even more! I get many, many, more years added to my life to spend with my family and kids.

I will post new pictures when the hubby gets home. :-)

For those of you that don't know my story..........or are new.
I am a Type 1 diabetic. I was on an insulin pump using about 100+ units of insulin a day. I was morbidly obese at 225 lbs.

Today.................down 83 lbs at 140. Still Type 1 diabetic.....but not needed the insulin pump anymore and only using maybe 10-15 units of insulin a day. I am normal at a 22 BMI.

Hang in there, stay strong. Work the tool and it will be good to you.

Thank you to the boards..........the old timers, the newbies....can't do this journey without support!!

Hello, it is very inspireing and educational to read your blogg. I´m new here and read all I can to learn more about the time that will follow after the surgery.

I have looked at your wonderful pictures of your family. Your children look so nice. I think they might be the same age as mine. I live in Sweden (Stockholm) with my husband and to children, Klara 5 years and Daniel soon 4 years.

I also reed the importent rules you wrote on the border yesterday, I think it was. Very importent to me to remember that it is "hard" work and not a quick fix after the surgery.

THANK YOU for all that you are charing!

Best regards
Lilly from Sweden
