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.

17 pounds to goal
posted on 6/19/09 5:04 am
I stepped on the scale this morning and 192 lbs. popped up.  I'm only 17 pounds from my personal goal.  I'm fitting comfortably in size misses 16 clothes.  I started out at 26/28 plus size.  That in itself is amazing. 

I am starting to have more difficulty sleeping since I've been losing weight.  All of my "padding" is gone and if I sleep on my side, my shoulder and knees hurt because of the bones protruding.  Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that I'm losing the padding but I guess I never realized that I would have a hard time sleeping.  Oh well, I'll take a few sleepless nights to keep this healthy lifestyle.

I go for my blood work this weekend followed by an appointment with my surgeon on June 29th.  I'm looking forward to following up with him.  It's always nice to have the reassurance that I'm doing things right.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I'm not sure what I'm doing but you can bet it won't be sitting on the sofa like I would have done two years ago!!!
