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.

Pondering plastics....
posted on 7/7/09 4:11 am
I went to try on clothes this weekend and found myself still pulling clothes off the racks that were one to two sizes too big.  I still find that when I look in the mirror, I see the "fluffy" girl.  I don't see the thinner, healthier me. I guess it will take time for my brain to catch up with my body.   I wonder how many others that have surgery feel the same way.

So far I've lost 123 lbs.  I'm still amazed by that number.  When I first started pondering the thought of weight loss surgery, I said I would never have plastic surgery.  I now find myself seriously considering it.  My skin is sagging all over... even my ankles.  I wish the Doctors could just start pulling from the top of my shoulders and all the skin would magically move up and they would cut the excess off and be done with it.  But, I know it's not that simple.  Plastic surgery scares me.  It truly is a "cosmetic" procedure.  It won't improve my health per se but it would improve my mental image of myself.  It is no where in the near future due to financial reasons but it is definitely something that has been on my mind.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!!!  Peace, love and happiness to all.....
