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.

Good-bye 200's
posted on 6/1/09 4:45 am
I finally did it.  I'm at 199 pounds today.  So farewell 200's.  One of my goals when I started on this journey was to get below 200 pounds.  What a wonderful feeling to step on the scale and see that I have achieved it.  I haven't weighed this since I was in high school... and that was a long time ago.  I've lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks after starting back on the program.  I can honestly say that I didn't lose 6 pounds in 2 months when I was enjoying the carbs.  It is nice to see that I didn't break my "tool", I was just misusing it. 

I thank God every night for Dr. Jawad and the skill and the knowledge that he has to change lives.  I am so grateful for this opportunity to take my life back and enjoy it.  I am so much more confident in EVERYTHING but especially in myself.  I walk with a bounce in my step and my head held higher.  It's amazing.

So, to anyone that may read this and be struggling with your weight loss... get back to basics.  Eat your protein first.  Limit your carbs.  Drink lots of water.  Take your vitamins.  And hang on for the ride.
