Surgeon Testimonial

Tim Wheeler, M.D.,F.A.C.S.
Dr. Wheeler and his staff are absolutely wonderful. He is very professional, at the same time very personable. He is so down to earth and easy to talk to. I just love him, his assistant, AND all the girls in the office. They make you feel so at ease. He stresses the importance of the aftercare program and I like the fact that KDMC has such a structured aftercare program. I just am extremely satisfied and confident in my choice of surgeon.

Hey girlfriend, tomorrow is your big day! I can't be there with you in person, but I'm definitely with you in spirit! I'll be thinking about you all day and praying that all goes well, like I know it will. But my prayers are for you to have any fear soothed away, for your surgeon to have his best game on tomorrow, and for your family, your husband and sweet boys to have peace knowing their beautiful mother will be fine. Better than fine! She's going to come home renewed, and with the gift of good health. A mother who is going to run circles around them, a wife who's going to be able to love even more because her burdens will be less! I want you to know angels are all around looking out for you! Warm comforting arms will be wrapped around you holding you tight while you sleep and get ready to come back and fight the big fight! You're gonna be a winner at being the best loser! You're my person! So you'll be fine! Love ya girlfriend, Steffanie

Is it spring yet?? Geezzzz.........
Seriously...this weather is KILLING ME! For the first time in years I actually want to get out and run and play with my kids. I am just itching to get out and walk with Drew if it would ever warm up enough! It is supposed to snow here tonight..(just flurries, but ENOUGH ALREADY)! We have had some really pretty days, just still really cold.

I have been in quite a stall lately. I don't know if it is actually a stall, after I entered my totals for the last two months in my "My Story" section below, or just it has slowed down tremendously, as we all know it will. I am ok with that I guess. Ok, I'm really not, I have 50 lbs to go. I guess this is where the real work comes in. Spring couldn't have come at a better time! I think if I would just move more it would start to come off a little quicker again. The weirdest thing is, I only lost 4 pounds I think last month and went down a pant size.

I have noticed all my stuff is redistributing...LOL...and I have the saddest excuse for boobs that I have EVER seen! It is just plain ugly. I do have some skin sagging, but not like I thought I would. Mainly my thighs...yuk. Anybody have any ideas what to do with that??

I just have Spring Fever really, really bad. I am so looking forward to doing all the things I hated doing last year....working in the yard, cutting the grass, planting flowers, playing with the boys, running to 4 and 5 baseball games a week! I can't wait. I don't remember it being this bad before. I guess now I actually have a life to look forward to......who knew??
