Surgeon Testimonial

Niazy Selim, M.D., Ph.D.
I love my doctor, he did my surgery robotically and although I had a huge bruised belly for a couple of weeks after I was only in the hospital for 30 hours and I did not take any pain medication at home. I had no drain tubes and so far (knock on wood) I have had no issues with my surgery and my six incisions are healing nicely. I would recommend Dr. Selim to anyone who lives in the Kansas City AREA!!!

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I come from a family of overweight and normal weight people. People always said you have such a pretty face if you just lost weight. Well I always thought if I just lost weight. Well I tried everything. I did the diet pills, Weight Watchers, the grapefruit diet, the starve yourself diet. I would lose then I would put the weight back on plus more. After I had my son my weight just kept going up and up. Finally my insurance plan started to pay for the surgery so I started looking into it in 2009. It's been a struggle and a journey I am glad I have taken.

2 months since my last post
posted on 6/1/12 11:19 am
I need to get on the ball. I have been a big slacker I have maintained 275 pounds for two months now. I need to stop eating the carbs and the sweets it is tearing me up. I guess if i put it down in writing it will motivate me to stop the nonsense and get on the ball. I still have 100 more pounds to lose and it will not be as easy as the first hunded was. My mom has been gone for over two months now and I still have a hard time thinking about her being gone. We spent memorial weekend down in Anderson Missouri swimming in the river and placing a bench in my mom and dad's honor in the Dabbs Greer Park (Anderson Town Hole) it was a beautiful bench that says IN MEMORY OF JOE AND NORA DALTON AND THEIR LOVE OF THE OZARKS. It is under a tree with a beautiful view of the river!!!! In August we are going to go down again and place a bench in the cemetary in between his parents and one of his Aunt and Uncle that will hold their ashes I cannot wait to see it!!!! On a good note my 100+ pound weight loss has allowed me to ride on an airplane with one seat and no seat belt extender what a treat that was. One of my goals!!!!
