Surgeon Testimonial

Francis W. Teng, M.D.
Dr. Teng is wonderful. He is very respected in the medical community. My OB\GYN suggested I go to Dr.Teng rather than any other surgeon. He is very caring and his staff is good too. I had confidence in him more than I had in other surgeons that I saw. When I had a question after surgery and it was after hours he called me right back and was very nice. He is more strict than some surgeons but I think that's a good thing since the surgery is nothing to mess around with.

almost 16 months out
on February 21, 2008 10:30 pm
Things are going pretty well for me. I thank God that I am not 350 lbs anymore because I would not have survived the last 8 months in that unhealthy body. I have been pushed to my limit emotionally and physiclly this last few months but things are going well. I officially don't dump on sugars and rarely on fats anymore. boo hoo I wish I still did it would force me to make better choices, I still am eating small portions but sometimes my choices are really bad. Anyway. Still staying about 152 most days. Still waiting for the big weight gain but hasn't happened yet. I am in like a 8 /10 in pants and tops go from mediums to x larges. I really need restalayne or botox on my face but it is out of my budget also really need boobs maybe in a year or two I can finance those two plastics. I will be checking back another day for updated on my friends but for now I wish you all the best. New Pictures should be up in a couple days so check back soon..

late on one year post op....

I am 1 year and 1 month out. Everything is going well. My labs show that I am low in Vitamin D and B1 aka thiamine. I will be working on that the next few months. I will have labs in 3 months so I pray that these numbers improve. I have been eating a lot more lately. It is scaring me. I am not hungry just feeling head hunger and kind of allowed myself to get into some bad habits recently. I think I have built up a tolerance for sugar because I don't seem to dump anymore. That scares me, I don't know why I feel the need to push the limits and test myself constantly on the amount of sugar I can consume without even feeling a bit hot and sweaty.. I am really messed up in the head. Anyway, this week I am getting back on track. Weight went up a few pounds( never thought I would be happy to see the scale rise) but then now back down again to 147 this morning. I am more comfortable when I am above 150 I really like 160. TTFN, Linda

11 month post

11 months out.
 I am really depressed!! lost my job, marriage problems, money problems you name it. I am praying that everything gets better soon, It all just hit me at once. I am 153 lbs today my lowest was 151. I want to be no less than 160 but I keep loosing. I have some heart burn like feeling in my pouch lately, Hope its not an ulcer, I take my previcid as described. So I don;'t know. Dr. Teng says your body will stop when its ready, my mind is ready but my body is not.
Let Go Let GOD!!!!

10 MONTHS OUT
on September 10, 2007 6:19 pm
I officially hit my surgeons goal a few weeks ago. (that is the goal with my height of 5'8) this may change when I see him wednesday and tell him Iam measured NOW at 5'7. I shrank!
Anyway 10 months out WOW almost a year. I can't believe it. I actually bought a pair of pants at OLD NAVY size 10. They must run really big but it still is a shock to see that number on my tag.
No surgery problems to report just financial stress. I really don't want an ulcer so I am just trying to live in La La Land(lol)
Hair has stopped falling out.  It is so nice to be able to run my fingers through my hair with out looking like I'm turning into the Wolf Lady.

I haven't had time to visit OH too much the last month or so but I wish everyone the best and I think of all of you often!

9 1/2 month post
on August 24, 2007 7:19 am
Oops! I am 2 weeks late on my 9 month post. Life has been so busy.  My girls started Cheerleading weeknights from 6:30 to 8:30 and we went on a trip to California for 5 days so I am really behind on everything.  We had a GREAT time. My kids got to meet Jaden (Michael's son from a previous relationship) for the first time ever. It was wonderful. I hope Michael and the kids can start a  long lasting relationship. It was such a blessing after all these years that they got to meet. (LONG STORY)
I am down 158 lbs today I weigh 172! I am feeling good.  While in San Jose I went to OLD Navy and actully bought a size 12 pair of jeans! I still can't believe that. I am still waiting to gain back weight so I am not getting rid of any of my 14s. I know that sounds sick but this is so strange to me to be below a 14! I have not be this size since middle school... 
My job is hanging on by a thread and is really stressing me out so I will just pray that we can keep up with the bills. Michael is looking for a second job. I feel bad that he has to do that but we have no other choice.
I will try to get some new pix downloaded this weekend.
Thanks all my OH friends, I love you guys.

My Story

I have been fat my entire life. My weight got out of control in the last 4 years. I am addicted to eating! I tried all sorts of diets and medications to lose but like most of us on OH it didn't work. I looked into WLS the first time about 5 years ago but decided I could do it without this tool. Wrong!

I decided to go ahead with the surgery in March 06 but got denied. It look about 7 months to comply with the insurance company on a couple of things but I got approved on on November 1st, 06. Things moved so fast after that I was having it done in 10days!
