Surgeon TestimonialDavid Suh, M.D.My first meeting with Dr. Suh went rather well in March 08. He was very polite and professional. My husband and I felt like he seemed well informed about the procedure and was honest about the risks. He had great bed side manners. His staff at both offices were very polite and very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone he is the best.

Hello My oh family. Hope all is well with everyone. Well time is going by so fast. I can't believe I'm already 4 months post-op, thank GOD once again for giving me this opportunity to shine. Well not much is going on, I'm now down 60 lbs whoo hoo .The weight loss has slowed down a bit. I have stopped being a slave to the scale, because it was driving me crazy. Evertime I get on the scale it's going back and fourth. So I have decided to weigh myself once a week only. Congrats Kim Walker my surgery buddie we had surgery the same day with the same surgeon 1 hr apart. She is doing so good, keep up the good work. I really enjoyed seeing you yesturday at the support group meeting, girl you are looking great. I want to thank my family for giving me so much support, I love Yall . My current weight is now 185lbs . My starting weight 245lbs . I have taken some new pictures so please check them out and leave me a comment. I'm so glad once again that I have found this web site, it is awesome, so much great information. I'm still going strong with taken all my daily vitamins, I can't say I'm doing good with the protein, yes I have been slacking, but i'm going to pick back up the pace, because I notice when I'm doing good with the protein shakes the weight loss is much better, then the scale starts to move again. So far so good with everthing I've eaten so far everthing seems to agree with me, which is so scary , I don't won't to get back into my old bad habits, it scares me to death, I truly need to make more healthier food choices. Please pray for me. Well I had a wow moment the other day me and the family went out to eat and I actually was able to cross my legs under the table whoo hoo. I have not been able to do that in years, it felt so good. I also have been doing a little clothes shopping because all my stuff is getting way to big. Yes I can now fit into a size 14 jeans and lg-xl shirt whoo hoo. I can't remember the last time I was able to fit into those sizes. I'm now off all my blood pressure medications I'm so glad one less pill I have to worry about. Well I know it only gets better, so I'll keep everyone posted till next month take care.

Hello my oh family. I know I'm late with my post update, well better late than never. Hope all is well. As for myself I'm doing good. Far as the weight loss I've lost a total of 50lbs since surgery 04/16/08 . I'm now in onederland!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!! My weight loss has been kind of slow for the most part, which is kind of good. I don't want to lose to much to fast. I'm still going strong with my protein and vitamins. I'm mainly getting my protein from my diet. I try to eat a least 3 servings of lean meats a day and some type of vegetables. I'm trying to consume 64 oz of water a day, but this is an area I need to work on. I love to drink cyrstal light all day long, that drink is so good. I've started walking 4 miles a day 5 days a week, It's getting easier as time goes along please pray for me that I can continue. My clothes are now getting to big, I have been doing a little shopping I'm now in a size 16 pants and xl shirts whoo hoo . I never thought I would see those sizes ever again. I must say I now have more energy than ever. I also wanted to congratulate my surgery buddy on her weight loss we both are riding each other talls with the weight loss. We both started this journey together weighing the same amount, way to go Kim keep up the good work. well till next time take care and GOD Bless.

Oh GOD is so good, I just thank him everyday for giving me this opportunity to stay healthy and continue the weight loss. I'm still doing good with my vitamins and protein drinks. I had my labs drawn a week ago and they were just fine, My iron level was a little low so I have started taking some iron pills once a day. still doing my exercising. Well I don't have much to talk about at this point pretty much everthing is the same. I'm still not having any issues with foods that I have eaton everthing is agreeing with me so far. Well I went shopping yesturday and guess what I can fit into a size xl sun dress, I was so excited whoo hoo for me  . I'll keep everyone posted on my journey. Hopefully by the next time I update my page I"ll be under 200lbs. My next doctors appointment is on July 8th, I'll then update everyone. I have some new pics from Las Vegas I'll down load them soon.

Hello my oh family. I know i'm like one week late on my post, but I've been really busy. Well I saw my surgeon on 5/16/08 everthing went well I have lost a total of 25 lbs since surgery  . I'm starting to notice more as the weight is coming off. I can now add more foods to my diet, the only thing my surgeon told me not to eat is beef,pork,grapes and raisens, still no breads or pasta x 1 more month. I have to wait til I'm 3 months out to eat the beef and pork. I was so happy that I can have a different varity of foods. So far everything that I have eaten has agreed with me. I did have a bout with n/v the other day due to me not chewing my food well, well I've learned real fast that it is very important to chew your food well. Thanks so much for all the support I have gotten so far. I'm truly blessed to have found this web site, it's just awesome. My daughter tells me i'm addicted to this site and I told her this is like my myspace, which she is on constantly. I'm still off work, I don't go back til June 02,2008  . I'm not looking forward to work, I have really enjoyed my time off. Well GOD bless everyone who has stopped by to check out my page, til next post Take Care.

My journey:
10/25/2007
Hi there! I'm currently 245lbs, happily married, have one child. I currently live in victorville CA and I'm a nurse. Well like many of us I have been over weight just about all of my life.I can remember everytime my mom took me to the doctor's office, they would always say Lynette you are over weight you need to loose some weight or you are going to have health problems at a young age, so of course I hated going to the doctors office.I'm currently seeking to have rny done very soon. I recently developed hypertension and that scares the heck out of me. Diabetes runs in my family. My ankles & feet swell if I stand for long periods of time.I have no energy half of the time. My back and knees hurt all the time. So here I am morbidly obese & reaching out for help, I'm both excited and a little nervouse about having gastric bypass surgery. I have been on all types of diets, I've lost weight, but I gain it all back plus some! I'm truly blessed that my insurance covers this type of surgery. I want to be here for my family and future grandkids.
I'm at the beginning of this journey. I have been thinking about weightloss surgery for some time, I have finally decided to have the wls. I mentioned the surgery to my pcp and he thought it was a good choice for me since I now have been official diaganosed with hypertension and my bmi is 41.2. So he said he would make the referral to preventive medicine and he did. One month later I got an approval letter to attend the options program which is a 24 week class, which meets once a week.This class is mandatory per my insurance provider. I am currently on class 24 which I graduate Oct 31st,2007 . I still have to attend one seminar and one support group which is the surgeons requirement I have decided to have my wls at crown in riverside CA. I also have to still get my lab work done,chest xray and ekg. I'm trying to decide when I want to have the surgery done, thats why I haven't done my labs because they are only good for 90 days. Wish me well God Bless you all and keep me in your prayers!
10/26/2007
I had my labs drawn today. Man that was alot of blood they took from me wow!
10/31/2007
I finally finished the 6 month class that was required by my insurance. I'm so glad that part is over with, I'm getting so excited ,the process is almost over with. Now I have to attend a seminar and a support group, that's a requirment that the surgeon wants. So I will keep yall posted.
11/29/2007
Hello again! I'm scheduled to do my seminar on dec 10/2007. No date yet for my support group.
01/09/2008
Today I had my ekg and it was fine thank GOD. I also had my chest xray, I don't know the results of that yet. Hope all is well. Now I have to wait for my pcp to sign off my chart.
