Surgeon Testimonial

David C. Voellinger, M.D.
My first impression of Dr.V was he seems to be a very nice doctor. He told me everything I needed to know about the surgery as well as life after surgery. All I can say is Dr. V is the BEST! The staff is wonderful! I can call or email them at anytime and they would be there for me. They are the best staff ever.

Hello everybody!!
on March 24, 2008 11:24 am

Just updating! I have been doing ok with my weightloss and feeling good about myself. I now take more pics since I have lost some weight. I haven't gotten a fill in over 2 months and that was by choice but I'm pretty sure I will be getting one when I go back to the doctor in April. I think my band still may be a little tight because most days I still have a hard time eating but it's so crazy I have no problem eating junk food. Oh well, I will update again in April.

Peace!!

A New Year!!
on January 7, 2008 1:07 pm

My Christmas was not the best due to my kids being sick on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day they go sick one after the other so I spent those days washing sheets and blankets ALL DAY!! This was the first time that I didn't get sick because usually I catch whatever they have so I'm glad I have been taking my vitamins. I went to the doctor on Friday Jan 5th and I was a little tight so the doctor took some out I went from 3.2 to 3.0 and it is a little better. I plan to do things a lot different in 2008.

I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and my doctor gave me some great news. I no longer have to take medication for High Blood Pressure and Diabetes!! I was so very happy when he told me no more meds. He told me he thinks it was all due to me being over weight. I got a fill a few weeks ago I went from 3.1 to 3.2 cc's and I think it may be a little too tight because I notice that I'm having a hard time eating most foods and I have thrown up several times. I guess I will see when I go back in Jan.

Today, me and the kids went shopping to buy their teachers gifts and to buy my mom and husband Christmas gifts.By the way I let my 18 yr old son drive me around (lol). We had so much fun shopping then we took a little break for lunch and after lunch we shopped some more. I'm almost done just a few more gifts then I will be done. That's all for now!

Peace!!!!

I got my 6th fill yesterday
on November 30, 2007 4:45 am

Yesterday, I went to the doctors office and I met with my Nutritionist. She really gave me a lot of helpful information. She gave me several helpful websites so if anybody is interested in getting them just let me know. My Nutritionist told me I needed to start back taking my Multivitamins twice a day, Calcium Plus Vitamin D twice a day and Prevacid once a day for the next few days. I also found out that I was not eating enough calories or protein and so now I have to try and keep track of all the calories and protein I eat just to make sure I'm getting enough. She told me if I can get all my calories and protein in I could lose more weight. She showed me my before picture and I could actually tell that I have lost weight my face is smaller and my waist is smaller. I'm happy with my results. I had another fill today a very small one I only went from 3.1 cc to 3.2 cc's. I lost 7 lbs in the last 3 weeks so I'm happy. Now, I need to start back exercising. I need to learn to go workout on my own instead of depending on others to go with me because everytime I start working out I do good for a few weeks but then if they miss going to the gym I end up missing too and never go back. I'm going to do better and hope to lose more weight before I see my doctor again. Well, that's all I have to say for now. Peace!!
