Surgeon Testimonial

Jamie McDowell
I went to a seminar at Baptist and Dr. McDowell was the speaker. I felt comfortable with him. He seemed compassionate and had a personal family story to tell. I know he is doing this to change people's lives and wants us to succeed. At my first meeting he was very personable. I am happy with the decision. Now I just have to go through the 3 month pre-surgery program.

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

5 Months Post-Op
on January 16, 2008 7:39 pm
I hate this thing, I typed a whole bunch of stuff in here and then tried to change the font and lost it all.. lol  Sooo I am 5 months post op and have lost 91lbs. I haven't posted as much as I thought I would.  The negatives are I haven't lost as much weight as I could've because I haven't forced myself to eat enough protein EVERY SINGLE DAY and  I haven't exercised enough.  I think I was taking too much Iron and whatever because I had a horrible week with BM's, but Colace has saved me.  The positives, I am in smaller sizes, I have a little more energy, I have a tiny bit more confidence, I am less grumpy then I was at 373.  I can fit into booths comfortably.  Different little things.  Anyway my 6month followup is next month and I hope to lose 10lbs or more to put me over 100lbs lost.  My hair has been falling out since the 3rd month and it continues to.  I have taken Coromega and Biotin daily and I hope that is helping somehow.  Luckily my hair started out super thick, it's thinned out too much.  But I am working hard on getting in plenty of protein everyday.  I have committed to exercize 3 days a week minimum on my XL GIider.  Plus I will be starting water aerobics 2-3x's a week.  I look forward to Spring and warmer weather to be active outside!
