Surgeon Testimonial

Alana Chock
So I had my first appointment with Dr Alana Chock. Fist of all she is gorgeous, just saying.... lol ... but I immedialty felt at ease with her and she told me everything good , bad and ugly about the surgery I did refer to her as doom and gloom, but appreciated her candor and telling me things I needed to know. Now take it I had already been working with another surgeon that was suppose to do my surgery but didnt have the "Blis" insurance in place for self pays so I had to at the last minute move over to her. She told me more in one visit than I got 8 months out of the other place. I also was totally convinced that I would do the gastric bypass which was recommended by my other doctor, and that was the only surgery that would work for me but after talking to her we decided that the Sleeve would work just as well and I wouldn't have to take all of the other unnecessary risks since I was a self pay ( my insurance doesn't cover bariatric )
Her staff is awesome and very knowleable and call you back right away. I love this place.

Thanks Dr Chock see you in operating room 9-6-12

Getting back on track
on May 14, 2013 7:58 am

I am down 104 lbs   weight is 234   I am going to loose this 34 lbs before my 1 year is up in Sept. that is my goal for now then another 40 lbs to be at my goal!!  I can do this just gotta get back on track ,  I have been on the road for 2 months now and its really throwing me off!!  I am not able to work out wth my trainer and the fiitness room here at the hotel was broke ,  how does every machine break???? any how they just got a new treadmill and eliptical yesterday so I did do 20 minutes there but was bored as hell today my goal is double that and planks and  crunches gotta get rid of this stomach., 

what else is new hmmmm  oh the pill seems to be working ,  no more periods from hell so that is good the last one was super light  and lasted 3 days   whooo hoooo   but i do get some highs and lows from the hormones but hey its better than bleeding like a someone just stabbed me 1000 milllllionnnnn times... lol 

thats all for now

 

goal for this week is to eat what i am suppose to and count my calories.  when i go out to eat no cream sauce and perhaps try a salad or something less calories.  fish is always a good choice. 

 

size today is 14/16 depending on the cut of clothes.  I can do a 14 w but they are a little tight sometimes,  shirts L or XL  also depending on the cut I have broad shoulders and boobs still !!!

birth control
on March 6, 2013 9:18 pm

so had the worst period of my life,  10 days felt like I was hemmoraging .. went through over 100 tampons  it was totally awful.  long story short this has been an on going thing on and off over the last 7 years.  so the Doctor put me on birth control.  WTF  I am sitting in my hotel room in vancouver ( working out here )  and just started crying  my hormones are going up and down, last night I just felt so like emotionally drained like there was nothng left .... today my stomach hurt all mornng and half way throught the day finally when it quit hurting I then felt super sad.  I cant eat what I want,  driink what I want, havent hit my goal of 100 lbs lost I have been so stuck weight wise...  not sure if this is also an after effect of the surgery the  way I am feeling but it just started yesterday out of no where.  I even felt like breaking up with my new boyfriend. ..............  going to bed now hopefully I will feel better in the am

My Story

 Well its July 30 2012 and I am writing my  story in hopes i can look back at this after surgery and see where I was ......  I have been heavy pretty much all my life on and off diets.  I think everything changed once I had a child I gained 60 lbs and that began my roller coster ride with yo yo dieting.  I would loose 50 lbs only to gain it back.  Even though with all this weight problems I always considered myself to be pretty healthy person untill this last year.  out of the blue I got arthritis..... my knee swole up that I couldnt even walk.  it was very scary at first but finally a year later I have it under control wth medication.  eventually I will have to have a kneee replacemetn.  with this knee problem it really limited my mobility for the first itme and I felt my wieght was a serious issue.  I couldnt get around like i wanted to and even started to get scared that I may end up in a wheel chair lke one of my siblings who has let her wieght issue control her life.  I refuse to be that person and I am taking an active step toward my goal .  at my heaviest I was 338 ,  my 1 goal down 20 lbs before surgery and second goal to be 165 post op. 
The doctor I had originally chosen no longer carries Bliss insurance for self pays.  to my surprise my work insurance does not cover in any way shape or form bariatric surgery.  so I am paying out of pocket.  this last year  I worked really hard saved all my alot of my commissions have save around 10 k for my surgery.  I am in the process of quiting smoking , drinking , pretty much my whole social life for this surgery. thats how much it means to me.  I am excited and scared at the same time that what if i dont loose the wieght.  What surgery is best for me? ????   I had chosen to do the bypass but may have to change since the original doctor i was going through had a great price for me,  and I have done all my pre lims already only to find out the other office I may have to go through includes it with the price.  so I am paying for somehtin I already have.GRRRRRR  any how I am doing this for me and no one will change my mine !!!
