Surgeon Testimonial

Neil E. Hutcher M.D.
I first met Dr. Hutcher at a local WLS seminar. I was struck by his dedication to his patients, his record of preforming many surgeries and his sense of humor. He is a real patient advocate for fair treament by insurance companies, but I of course was impressed with the 3500+ weight loss surgeries he has preformed and the fact that he is very up to date in his procedures.

Also, he requires smokers to quit and explained that smokers have a much higher risk of certain complications. What an incentive.

I am still very impressed after my initial consultation.

The have an extensive pre and post-op program which I will be involved in once I get my surgery date.

A little catching up.
posted on 6/24/07 5:54 pm
I came back from Florida having realized a few things.  One is yes, I have felt thin for a long time after a 165 pound weight loss.  I am not thin.  I am fat.  No flames here.  To be at a normal BMI, I needed to lose 50 pounds.  That gives me an obese BMI.  I needed to except the reality that I looked sloppy. in my body, skin and most of all my nice clothes.

Two, my 22 year niece lost 40 pounds.  She went from being fat to being thin.  She looks fabulous!!

Today I realized that after losing 7.5 pounds of the ten I gained on my own and losing 4 on time out I am now  only 14 pounds from an overweight BMI.  Why will I settle for obese (unhealthy) when I can be over weight (more healthy)?  Then it is just a few pounds from my engagement weight...
