Surgeon Testimonial Steven Patching, M.D. I just met Dr. Patching for the first time this week. I am very impressed. Dr. Patching is obviously very educated and his statistics and program are impressive. I, though, was even more impressed by his caring and supportive nature. He is honest and straight to the point, and doesn't mince words when discussing the benefits and risks of WLS. He is also very knowlegable about the disease of obesity. He made references to patients in the past calling him "mean"... but I didn't see "mean" at all, I saw someone who is compassionate, easy to talk to, engaging, and who has a genuine interest in ME and my health. He not only put my mind at ease, but I walked out of his office feeling great about myself and the outlook for the next 40 years of my life! As a nurse in the same hospital system as Dr. Patching (I'd never even seen him before), I have heard over the years all about what a successful and competent and cutting edge surgeon he is, but what I found this week is that he is also a top notch PERSON...... I want to update my surgeon review.... I am 6 months post op now, and could not have lost 148lbs in less than a year without Dr. Patching's support and guidance... with him in my corner, I have never felt like I was alone... he has been my greatest cheerleader... even though HE saved my life with my RNY, he gives me full credit for my success... he is kind, REAL, supportive, easy to talk to, honest, and obviously cares deeply about ME... he shares his own personal stories and tips which makes him even easier to talk to ... I don't believe I'd be this healthy and successful without the competent and caring Dr. Patching leading my team! Thank you Dr. P!!!! I can not recommend Dr. Patching enough... I doubt you could ask for more in your bariatric surgeon!!!! Member Interests

Finally losing again after a MAJOR Stall....
YaaaaaaaaaaaY!!!!! I have finally dropped a couple of pounds.... what a great feeling after not losing a pound for a couple of weeks! People are calling me "too skinny" and telling me, "You look guant" and "I hope you aren't planning on losing any more weight?!??!" WHATEVER! I still want to lose about 11 more lbs... and I think that plastics will take away AT LEAST 10 more..... not too shabby! I can't wait for my plastic surgery, but of course want to be as thin as I am going to get in order to get the best results. I am all belly rolls, which I try and hide. My arms, legs, and face are all skinny (with lots-o-turkey-skin on the arms and upper thighs). I have NO butt left, and luckily I still have some boobage... it may be a little saggy, but I still have at least a C and usually a D cup, I'm not complaining! These belly skin rolls, though, are GROSS!!! Thank goodness for "shapers" I call them my "industrial strength/steel belted undies"...... All is well on the home front.... GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 Comment(s)
