Surgeon Testimonial

Amir Moazzez M.D.
So far I feel very comfortable with Dr. Moazzez. I really like the approach he takes to weight loss sugery- that it is only a tool for weight loss. rnrnHe has an excellent staff that is helping me through the entire preapproval process. He has a VERY structured aftercare program that I like also. I like that there will be plenty of support for me after my surgery also.

5 Months Out
on October 29, 2007 10:39 am

Today is my 5 month surgiversary! Doesn't feel like that long. I feel great. My health is better than ever, and I'm 100% happy about my decision to have RNY. The weight loss has slowed down a bit, but that's ok with me. It's still coming off and that's what is important. I'm down to 184.3 as of this morning. I'm fitting comfortably into a size 14 pants and large tops which is a HUGE change from my tight 24's the day of surgery.

I've now started my countdown to plastic surgery. I can not WAIT!!!I am starting to have problems with my skin on my lower abdomen from it hanging over. My primary care doctor gave me some cream to put on it, but I have a feeling it will just keep coming back. All the more reason to have it removed!!

Missing you...
on October 20, 2007 10:30 am
I have friends in town from Florida for the weekend and we are all staying with my mom in Maryland. And I miss my scale.  I don't really think I'm obsessive about weighing myself. I just like to know what the scoop is. I like to be able to adjust if something isn't working out. And no one else's scale will do. I can only truly trust my own scale. My surgeon's crazy scale weighs 6lbs higher. 6lbs!! Crazy talk. 

Speaking of that- I got my blood drawn this weekend for my surgeon. I go for my follow up in a little less than 2 weeks. I'm anxious to find out if my levels are where they should be. I also told my primary care doc about some skin issues I've been having. My extra skin on my lower abdomen is starting to fold over and give me a bit of a rash. He gave me a prescription cream to put on it. Also a bonus that I've started documenting my skin issues this far out. Hopefully that will help with my insurance claim when I need to have Plastics!! I CAN'T WAIT for plastics. Get rid of all this extra skin! I know I"m a ways out for that, but it's something to look forward to.

Plateau Over!
on October 9, 2007 5:21 am

I think I can officially state that my stall is over!! Woo Hoo! I spent almost 30 days at the same weight and it looks like I'm finally headed back in the right direction again. Three straight days of weighing in at under 190! That makes me feel safe about saying it's finally over! 

Back to the gym tonight. Trainer lady is going to hurt me. I just know it. It's been a week since I've lifted so I'm sure tomorrow will be a sore one.

Back from the Wedding
on October 7, 2007 6:36 pm
My best friend Cathy got married on Saturday in Pittsburgh. I went up with her on Wednesday and we spent the next three days running all over creation doing wedding-ish stuff. That really meant that I had no protein suppliments for 3 days, barely enough water, and was totally thrown off any kind of eating plan. 

The irony of it all...I think it broke my plateau. WTF?!?  I can't explain it. I weighed myself when I got home today (I was just too curious...) which is something I never ever do. I only weigh first thing in the morning. So really when I got on the scale, I was expecting to have gained weight. But low and behold- 189. HUH?!? Makes no sense, but I'll take it! 

I really have decided that my problems as of late really have begun at work. I really think that I've had time management issues at work that have spilled over into all areas of my life. So that is where I need to start making corrections. Now that my life is back to normal post-wedding- I should be able to get back to work.
