Surgeon Testimonial

Ron Hekier M.D.
First impression was great and this has not changed. The office staff was very nice and went the extra mile for me. They also provided me with all kinds of information which was a big help.So I will give them a rating of 10 stars.

~~UPDATES~~
on October 14, 2010 4:49 pm

It's been a few weeks since I have blog. I have had two more fills and and doing very well, but after my fills I can not eat eggs.  It is something about the smell and that has been the only thing that has made me sick at my stomach. I had 1 cc put in each visit. Last month I struggled with eating the right portions and I could see the old me opening the frig and look in and not even hungry. But I got over that hurdle. Having the surgery have inspired my oldest daughter to lose weight, she was a size 18 now she is wearing a 12. I am so proud of her for making that change right now in her life to become healthy. Until next time.

Well I had my first fill 7/27/2010 and had lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks! The fill was not as bad as I had heard it would be. I got the fluid off just in time and more excited now to keep this weight loss journey going.

2 Week Dr. Visit
on July 6, 2010 12:17 pm
Well my two week visit is over, and for some reason there scale and my scale does not read the same numbers. I use a weight watchers scale and is always 3 pounds lighter so I will keep my own weight loss records. Every thing was good scars are healing very good. I have been walking a mile very proud of myself for be motivated!!  He showed where the band was and I will return in 3 weeks for my first fill. That will be right after my family Reunion, I was thinking about moving that date up, but I guess this will be a test to see how I can handle food, sodas and all that other bad things that are not allowed. I am thinking I can pack a small ice chest with my Jell-o and Protein Drinks and still be sociable. Any way be in Prayer for me to be strong. Until next time God Bless each of you!

Life after surgery
on June 30, 2010 5:29 pm

Hello, well the day of my surgery I arrived at Wadley Hospital in Texarkana TX. Little history on Texarkana one side of Statline Street is in the great State of Texas while the other side is the Natural State of Arkansas.So I was in two States the day of my Lap Band how awesome is that!!! Hospital and staff was great I was very calm for I know this was about to be my New Life Change and i was very excited. I had very little pain for the first two days and was able to walk. I heard that Gas was a booger and thank the Lord it moved out fast. I wake up from a good nap(still medicated) and there was my mom with a subway and oh how my mind started with the tricks. Why did I do this I could be having a chicken orchard subway! Why Why Why!! Then I came back to myself and repeated Why do your knees hurt and Why can't you walk up a flight of stairs. This is a Blessing, Be thankful,This is what is Best for You and Your Family. God has brought you so far so Be thankful because there are others that would love to have this procedure and there insurance want pay. If you noticed I always have a lot on my Mind. Until Next time

My Story

Hello, I have been overweight since I was very young. I always wonder why I was the largest daughter out of three children. Always told that I was just big boned, and how many times have we all heard that!! My father died at a young age from obesity and I want to break that cycle. I have done weight watchers 3 times and lots of other crazy diets and pills. Nothing seemed to work.  As year s go on I have increased in size and did not have any control over my eating habits. Last year I went to Alaska but once on the airplane I could not fasten the seat belt. That was my breaking point and so ashamed. At this point I know that something had to be done to help me and help me to get healthy and live a fulfilling life have two daughters and two grandsons and I want to be around to see them  and enjoy life watching them go on there journey  in life.
I am having lap-band surgery on June 18th 2010 and ready to make that change.
I want to meet other people and form new friendship.
