Surgeon Testimonial

David Oliak M.D.
I was referred to Dr. Oliak from a friend and after doing lots of research, I found that he is the best in Orange County. I am so glad I decided to go with him. Not only has he been wonderful, but his staff has always been so nice and willing to answer any questions...and I had a alot of them! My surgery went more smoothly than I could have ever asked or hoped for. I had little to no pain and no complications...THANK YOU DR. OLIAK! By the way ladies...he is very easy on the eyes!!!!!!

Drama...continued...
on August 3, 2008 7:32 pm
So...I got alot of great PM's about me being pissed about the individual that decided to be nasty with me. Well the more I thought about...why let someone continue to run people off of here...so I decided to go ahead and keep posting and not let them "win". I have a pretty good idea of who it is...and they know I know...so thats all that matters.
I am here to support and answer questions and keep in touch with all the great people on here.
Here's my new motto for this site..."This board is for support...NOT power"!!!!

Taking a break from all the Drama...
on July 26, 2008 5:41 pm

When I joined this site almost 2 years ago it was such a blessing for me. I was truly addicted. I was on here morning, noon and night before my surgery, and probably a good 6 months post op. It was such a comfort to me to read about other peoples journeys and learn from them. I found about such great food ideas and the do's and dont's of this surgery. I mean the surgeon gives you a run down...but nothing like what you can get from others who have experienced it. I also met a few really great people on here and am so glad to call you friends and grateful that we get to spend alot of time together! For that...I am truly grateful I have found this site.

Here we are about 18 months post op...and I cannot believe how the California board has changed. I cannot belive the people who have no fricken life and thrive on causing drama and being plain shitty to others. This board is suppose to be for support, but has turned into a soap opera! I have been posting less and less over the last couple months...and now I am no longer gonna post at all. I guess I am letting certain individuals "win" but since they have pushed away many others off this site...it is nothing new. I have a life. I have a great husband, great kids, and a few great friends. I don't need to get bitched at by "annoymous" members because they do not like the responses I post. They are probably just jealous because they have such a pathetic life. So...I will "lurk" now and then just to check in on the progress of a few people.

Be careful and don't let the drama of these boards consume you...its not healthy!

16 Months Post Op...still losing!
on June 21, 2008 11:27 am
Life is still so good! I am still losing a few pounds here and there. It really is alot slower...but hey...I am not gaining!!! I did the 5DPT a few weeks ago and lost 9 pounds in 5 days. It just made get a grip on how many carbs I was eating and to always eat protein first! I still have had no complications from the surgery at all and have no problems with food.
I am down 130 pounds from surgery and a size...10-12!!!!! I am so thrilled!

on May 21, 2008 8:55 am
Here I am 15 months later...and feeling GREAT! The weight loss has really slowed down, but hey, thats ok! I have been eating way too many carbs and we all know how easy those go down for some reason.UGH! I started the 5 day pouch test yesterday to see if I could jump start the loss. I am down 127 pounds but want to lose about 30 more. I feel great and have had no problems at all.

My Story

My name is Lisa, I am 39 years young...:)

Basically, I am soooooooooooooooo tired of being fat! i have tried every diet in the book, only to fail. I have no will power and no motivation at the moment. I am ready to take charge of my life, and make sure I am here and healthy to see my grandkids grow up. So I have  decided to check into having surgery. I am leaning towards the lap band, but have not yet even seen a surgeon. I am attending a seminar in my area on Nov.9th and I am really excited. I am here to meet friends and gain any information that anyone is willing to pass my way.
