Surgeon Testimonial

Kevin Cottingham M.D.
At first sight Dr. Cottingham looks very young, but don't let the youthfulness fool you. He is a very experienced surgeon and I would recommend him to anyone. He is very concerned and willing to answer any questions @ anytime. His nurses were very helpful in the approval process answering questions and guiding me through this journey.

Just Another Manic Monday...
Well not really, I am just getting ready to go to work and decided to drop a few lines to update on my progress. I've still been struggling with these 5 lbs and I have started lifting light weights. I went on the internet and found this really nice circuit training routine that combines weight lifting and cardio and it really has me sweating up something serious. I do 30 minutes on the elliptical and 3 circuits of the routine which is about 25-30 minutes and then I stretch for 5-10 minitues. I am really enjoying this and I pray that I don't get burned out. However I don't think I will because this is something that I've always wanted to do but never have the guts or the energy to do it. I have came to this conclusion today and I plan to stick with it...I have so much going on in my life right now to feel bad about, the one thing I should feel good about is myself and I am working on that everyday. I refuse to continue to hurt myself making bad choices with food. This past weekend I have talked myself into eating things I know that I did not need and after I ate it I felt so bad that I wish I hadn't eaten it. I realized that doing this is abuse to myself. I would rather feel bad for not eating crap than to eat it and feel even worse. I have a vision in my head of the way I want to look and I plan to continue on this track until I reach my goal. I did not allow the doctors to cut my guts and trim my stomach to get back to 350lbs. I gotta get this right. Whew, I guess I had all that pinned up and I needed to get that off my chest. Wish I had a "true" friend to talk and vent to that can understand the issues that I have with food and the struggles that I have with this surgery daily (good and bad). Sometimes it seems like people want to see you fail because they know someone else that had the surgery failed, or they are just mad because you aren't bigger than them now. Well that's it for now time to go to work.
