Surgeon Testimonial

Pamela Foster, M.D.
My first impression of Dr Foster was I thought she was great. I still love her, I feel she has saved my life, and I am so glad my primary physcian referred me to her. Her office staff is extremely helpful. The only negative thing I can think of to say is that she is usually running late, I had to wait 2 hours to see her once. Her aftercare is great, and I actually look forward to seeing her. I would rate Dr Foster a 9.5 out of 10. I would and have recommended her to friends.

NEW BEGINNINGS
on August 25, 2008 2:37 pm

Well its been awhile since I have written anything, and I need to start because I need to be accountable.
I have gained 40lbs...it makes me ill to even have to type that.
My lowest weight was 181 I am as of this morning 220.
I can't even grasp how I let this happen..You would thing after 2 years of changing my bad habits, they would have gone away. Unfortunalty that is not the cause, I opened that damn door, and those bad habits came screaming back in.
I am having knee and back pain again, something I thought I was done with. It is effecting me in many ways.
So I have decided to get my ass back in gear. I have even set a goal.
My husband has agreed for us to go to Hawaii next summer.
I want to be at least at my lowest, but would perfer to be at 175.
I decided this last week, but F'd up again the weekend. They seem to be the hardest for me. Next week being Labor Day should also show to have some difficultly..
I was posting on the BMIover 50 board...but alot of new people there I don't feel as comfortable as before. I may start posted on the WLS graduate board.
But I will start posting my weight here on my own board..
I really only need to be accountable to myself.
So here are my numbers
Beginning weight 473
Surgery weight 417
Lowest weight 181.5
Todays(8/25/08) 220

BACK TO THE HOSPITAL
on September 8, 2007 1:00 pm
Well, here it is Saturday, I am at work getting caught up on my stuff.(guess I am caught up if I am online) because Monday I go back for another surgery.
Seems I need my gallbladder out, and I may have an internal hernia
(twisted intestines) when I have the pain, it is terrible. It has been coming on awhile now..since before June. but it is getting more frequent. So Doctor Foster says I must get it taken care of. I went Friday for all my preopt stuff at the hospital. Everything is the same there, except they have a new parking garage which I got lost in...anyway I haven't been nervous too much. I have  to stay only 1 nite. I should be off week for 2 weeks.
Still struggling with my food issues. I am hoping this hospital stay will get my butt in gear...

Struggling
on August 1, 2007 2:39 pm
Well here I sit at 188.. but I have really been stuggling with my eating.
It appears my bad habits are slowing returning. I am trying so hard to keep them at bay. I have drank a few Coca Colas, I mean what is wrong with me I bought some for a BBQ we had a few weeks ago. I have been so against any carbonation... then add to that the sugar it is crazy. I have found that I do not dump.. why the hell did I ever find that out. I ate a piece of chocolate cake a week ago...I am scaring myself... 
I WILL thou regain control, I must, my life is sooo much better than ever.
Why would I sabatage that. It makes no sense. I guess that is truly the answer I need to find before I can really be a peace.

June 22, 2007
Well here I am at 192. I just can't believe it. We just got back from our vacation. We went and visited Bert and Karen, our old neighbors who live on the colorado river, in Big River, near lake havasu. We stayed in a beautiful hotel on the River. It was fun. Then drove to the Grand Canyon, Amazing..
Spent the nite in the cutest town, Williams AZ.. then off to Vegas for 4 days.
Had another amazing room at Ballys. Went and saw Rosanne.. she was so funny. Didn't have any luck but had a blast.
It is just so wonderful all the things I am able to do.. Have been to couple A's games, went to Kathryns graduation party, it was awesome.
All these things I would not have been able to do a year and half ago.
June 12th went for my 18 month checkup. It appears the pain I have had is my gallbladder. Dr wants to remove it. I must call her next week to find out what is next. Wasn't expecting another surgery,  except for maybe plastics.
Oh what are you gonna do.
