Garth Davis M.D. Very sweet, concerned man. Extremely knowledgeable about his speciality. Felt completely secure with him. Staff is very nice, a very busy office. Aftercare is extremely important. I would go to him again if needed and would suggest him to others.
June 5, 2008 Well, I'm just a bit over 5 months out post op. I started dieting on my own pre op, exactly one year ago yesterday, at my highest known weight of 349. This morning I was down to 236. That's 113 pounds down in one year, and 79 pounds since surgery. It's unbelievable to even imagine I've done this. I've lost and gained so many times over the years, but this time it's real and I will do my best to never gain it back.
I'm having issues with hair loss and flabby, loose skin, but at least I'm off all my old prescription meds, I fit in an airplane seat without an extender, I can fit in chairs with arms and I feel so much more ALIVE than I have in years. I can actually walk and enjoy going places with my husband now.
I'm ready to start looking for a job again and hopefully, will get the one I deserve and not be held back because of size prejudice.
I have so much to live for - always have, just didn't appreciate it when I was fatter. I love being in charge of my life, thanks to WLS, I'm living again.
