Surgeon Testimonial

Sayeed Ikramuddin, M.D.
He was to the point, he didnt sugarcoat anything. It's just a tool..I remember saying that to myself several times as I left seminar.rnHe seems incredibly busy, you don't see him much. I'm not sure I like that, but I understand that he is always in surgery. But I do feel confident that if I really wanted to see him, I could. I have faith in the Physicians Assistant and nurses that I do see at my appointments.rnI feel surgical competence was most important to me. Bedside manner is nice, but knowing he is known as one of the best makes me feel more comfortable, than if he had awesome bedside manner.rnI am very happy I chose him as my surgeon.

I sure have been lazy at doing any updates here. Not because I don't care, I just really have been busy and life is kind stressed.  I feel wonderful.....can't even put into words how great I feel actually. Some days my kids tell me to slow down. How crazy is that? I am having major issues going from a person in a morbidly obese body to someone that is normal. I think the biggest problem is when I go out and I get hit on, I don't know what to think/how to act/what to say...ugh. Then the bad marriage issues....makes life so complicated most days.
Anyway...don't want to be a total downer. I FEEL AMAZING. I am so glad I was able to have this surgery.
I am down 145 since seminar and 120 since surgery. A size 26 to an 8 so far. But most important, I feel like I have a great healthy life.

                                            10 months out...feeling wonderful and having no issues. I have been having some medical issues, but they don't believe it's WLS related. I am having a biopsy on the 2nd to figure out what the lump/mass is in my lower abdomen. The ultrasound showed nothing on the ovaries or uterus. It's a little higher and not on an organ..seems to be in the muscle or fatty tissue.

10 months out finds me...134 down from seminar and 109 from day of surgery.

6 months post op today

6 months have gone by so quickly!  It really seems like just last month I was leaving the hospital to start this journey! I have had no issues and count my blessings for that. I have my checkup tomorrow, so hopefully my lab work will be fine. I don't have any issues with food, but am pretty positive if I did eat sugar, I'd dump. I am grateful for that. It keeps me on track! Last month was a slower weight loss month for me..about 7 lbs. I bought some whole wheat crackers and found myself kind of hungry throughout the day and was kind of grazing on them. I think it made me hungrier! So..no more crackers and I am not hungry and the weight loss has started to pick up again. Down about 4 this week!  I really want to get as close to my goal by 9  months as possible. I believe that is the time the Dr said was my best opportunity for weight loss.  I have 45 pounds til my goal. To some, that might sound like a huge amount, but for me..I am getting so close! * smile*

Happy New Year!

 My big goal I had made for myself was that I would be under 200 by New Years. I came 10 pounds short of that. But..it's really okay. So glad I can easily say.... it's fine and I will get there before I know it.  Before I would have been so disappointed in myself.
  So within the month, I hope to be a century card carrying member and in onderland. How exciting that will be.

 Happy New Year!
