Surgeon Testimonial

Nauveed Iqbal
What can I say about Dr. Iqbal. He is the best. From the moment I went to his office for a consultation I knew he had to be my surgeon. He never rushed any of my questions and he's always explained things in terms us \"normal\" people understand. He's always there with a smile or a joke. His staff is incredible. They've never made me feel like I'm bothering them when I call. He does insist that this surgery relies on teamwork and he vocally insists on you keeping your end of the bargain. He never balked when I asked about risks or mortalities or anything. He's very honest about the whole process. When someone asks about my surgery, I pull out his business card and start rambling. He's the best!

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I wasn't a huge, constant eater. I was more of the skip breakfast, skip lunch and huge dinner type. I couldn't understand why I kept gaining. Food and I have always had a love/hate relationship.

    Cindi, You have been an inspiration to all of the Maysters. I think that by your posts that you've shared, you have one of the most hectic schedules of us all. I'm glad everything worked out for you. I know this is late, but it does not mean that I did not have you in my thoughts and prayers. Have a great recovery and let the melting begin. John

It's Finally Time to Take Care of Me!!!

OMG....I can't believe it!
posted on 11/28/08 5:00 am
When I started this journey in early November 2006 I was 265.8 pounds.  That's my highest weight ever.  I just celebrated my 18 month surgiversary on November 25th.  It was a great day.  I had a lot of time for reflection that day.  Today is forever marked on my calendar.  I always joked about being half my old size.  Getting to 140 was hard enough.  My surgeon's goal was 150 and I sailed past that.  But, this morning I hopped on my scale in anticipation.  Not only was it NOT 132.9 it was 132.4!!!!  I hopped on the scale 6 times.  Yes, I got my beloved scale picture too.

I've been blessed that this journey has been a relatively easy one for me.  I've had it MUCH easier than most.  And, I thank God for it every day.  I don't want to lose anymore weight.  My mom thinks I'm far too small.  I'm 5'8" so I'm sure she's right.  I don't eat like a bird.  I do eat pasta, pizza, kiddie cereal and all the things that "should" make me dump.  But, I don't dump.  Maybe that's good....maybe that's bad.  But, whatever, I'm so happy and so blessed.

I hope you all had a Blessed Thanksgiving too!
