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.

197 and dropping...
posted on 6/4/09 4:08 am
Today I stepped on the scale and I weighed 197.  In the past two weeks of watching what I'm eating, I've lost 8 lbs.  I never realized how I was sabotaging my own weight loss with my diet.  I wasn't eating a lot of carbs (quantity) but I wasn't eating what I should (quality).  I've never felt as motivated as I do at this moment.  My goal from the beginning was to get to 175 lbs.  My physician's goal for me is 142 lbs.  I'm only 22 lbs away from where I think I want to be.  I'm not sure if I will stop there or drop a few more pounds after that.  All I really know is I can do this.

I had a wonderful "wow" moment yesterday.  I went to court mediation for a custody matter with my son.  The Guardian-ad-litem walked right by and didn't recognize me.  When I walked into the room where he was waiting, his jaw dropped.  He took a second look.  Without missing a beat, I said, "I look great, huh?"  He said, "You look amazing."  The look on my ex's face was priceless.  I started this journey to get healthy but oh how I love these unexpected "wow" moments when people see me.

I hope that everyone is having a great week.  Stay healthy & motivated.  We can all do this together!!!
