Surgeon TestimonialDavid S. Thoman, M.D.,F.A.C.S.Dr Thoman is a continual professional. His staff is top notch. I like his surgery stats and I would advise others to seek his help. Aftercare is as impotant to Dr Thoman as wls. Dr Thoman informed me of all the risks involved with wls. Pre op on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being perfect, I'd give him a 9 so far, no one is perfect. Both bedside manner and surgical compentence are great, but I will take surgical compentance anyday over bedside manner. I have lots of friends and I'll have a chat with my girlfriends then let Dr Thoman do the wls. Latest Surgery Support Comments

' thank God for my wls on April 3, 2008 7:44 am
I Thank God for this wls. I continue to feel better than I have ever felt. I am on the homestrech of nursing classes, dance classes are going well, and my Mary Kay is taking off again, all due to my increased phyisical and mental well being. I am so sad when I hear of others who have had more than their fair share of commplications with their wls and I know how blessed I am having such a breeze with mine. I do not take that for granted. I am enjoying the attention from people who are shocked to see me. I have been receiving "leg" complements almost everyday from my Dad (ew), friends, and strangers! Sexual relations with my dh have increased, always a good sign. I am greatful for all the things that have come from having wls. Aside from the energy surge, is the lack of appitite. Having that gone has been like having a monkey taken off my back. What a relief!

like a kid on March 21, 2008 7:44 am
I feel like a kid. I stayed up late last night 'cause I didn't have school today and I am here posting because I want to do that at least once a month. I feel like a kid should feel. I have never felt like this in my life. I have the weight loss, improved health, and look great, at a high weight no less, yet look and feel wonderful. I am at a stage in life where I appreciate these things without the raging hormones and constant hunger laying seige to my life. I am instataneously sad and then I recover, that I experienced that for so many years, the migranes, the never ending hunger, the mood swings, the horrible periods. I am the new improved me. As far as looking good at a high weight, I must not get lulled into settling for anything less than health. The bmi does not lie! I may settle for a high healthy bmi, but will get there and see. I am trusting my own inner voice to guide me. It is about freakin' time!

full tilt boogie is signing in on February 19, 2008 10:51 pm
I want to write here at least every month, so here is my Feb musings. I am the oldest cna student in all of the classes, I am older than the teachers and I am getting an A so far. We will be going into the clinical setting tomarrow and I am looking forward to it. My dad is being placed in a home here in Santa Maria in a week or so. He is in stage one of dementia. I am sad that he ison't going to be in his own place, but it will be safer for him to be watched 24/7. I need to come up with 180 a month to help him out with the bills. I will be asking for a weekend swing shift job at the home we will be at tomarrow. I hope to get it. They need weekend workers...I am feeling wonderful. I have been filled with so much energy since hitting my second post op month. I am almost to onderland and my goal is to be 100lbs down by my 6 mo checkup. Life is good, I am busy and I have never felt so great. I just got new glasses that are burgandy with crystals, very chic. I am going to Career Conference at the end of March. I got through Cara's birthday and her third anniversary fine. I was third of the wait list for school and I was bumped to no. one, it was her birthday! I am hitting the thrift shops once or twice a week, I have to. I have found scrubs, Mary Kay buisness attire, shoes, the works. I hate paying retail. I did get a cowgirl shirt for 9.99 at the boot barn, I did buy my cna uniform and shoes at the uniform shop, but all the mentioned were way discounted. I will be buying my cuff and stethascope in the morning, maybe. I really need to watch my pennies. I am doing more MK, it saved my tush with all the school expenses. Kim covered my books and tuition. I will pay him back. I live in my car, there are dance bags, cna backpacks, Kinderdance suitcases and props, mary kay bags for classes and deliveries. Kim just put in a new battery for me. I need to get to bed now....

My Story My "weighty" story begins with me being a skinny kid. After graduating from high school I went on the pill to help with my very bad periods, not for birth controll, I was not sexually active at the time. The dr thought the pill would help, it didn't. I began gaining weight for the first time in my life, nothing much, but the beggining of what would become a lifelong battle between my body and food. I got my weight under controll through dancing as my college major, and dieting.
After graduating from college, I had the first of my three beautiful children. That was it, I gained and never acheived a healthy weight again. Up, up, and away! My weight was one of the reasons my first marraige broke up. I can see that I am an emotional eater, I flatout love food, I have a family history of obesity, and my hormones. You do the math. Heredity and choice. There you have it, now I am taking the next step to regain my body. My kids have never seen me at a healthy weight. I want to be here for them and my future grandchildren. I am on my way to a new and better me. Please click on this site to see and hear I Hope You Dance, I choreographed a dance to this song for my angel Cara. I will get it up on my site as soon as I figure out how to do it. Don't worry, I'll do it.
