Surgeon Testimonial

Muhammad A. Jawad, M.D.
Dr. Jawad was a professional from the first time I met him at an educational seminar. I truly believe that he has a passion for bariatric surgery and for the success of his patients. He fully explained each procedure that he performs including the pros and cons of each. He discussed the risks as well. His bedside manner was good and the staff that he has assembled are very knowledgeable. I feel that I made a great decision to have Dr. Jawad perform my RNY surgery.

    It is not long before your surgery date. I just want you to know that I am so excited for you. I know you can't wait to be on the losing side and onto a healthier life. I will pray that the Doctor's do a wonderful job and that you will not feel any pain.

Coming back home...
on May 28, 2009 7:42 am
Wow, it is so hard to believe that I haven't been on here in so long.  Life hasn't slowed down since I had my surgery.  It's been 13 months and I've lost 110 pounds.  I had a few months that I enjoyed the carbs and the scale certainly showed it.  I stalled... BIG TIME.  I didn't gain but I didn't lose either.  Well, the past week I have recommitted myself to my diet and have started losing again.  It has been an eye opener to remind me that this is a forever life change.

I know that I need to step up the exercise.  I've been walking with my husband and two puppies almost every day but I need to go to the gym for some strength training.  I just never seem to find the time.  I'm working a full time job and started working weekends a few months ago.  I'm studying for my ultrasound boards as well as trying to be a Mom and a wife.  We had two new additions to the family in November... basset hound puppies... and they keep me busy as well.  So for now, I've put off the gym but hopefully things will settle down in a few months and I can really get working on reshaping my body.

I'm hoping to make my rounds to see how everyone else is doing and to say hello.  I'm excited to see all the changes in everyone.  I'm coming back home to OH and I'm happy.  I need to be here.  I need to share and to find strength and encouragement with everyone here.

So, with that, I'll sign off of here.  I'll not be a stranger.  I'm home!!!
