Surgeon Testimonial

Titus Duncan
I first met Dr. Duncan at the Seminar and he has a great humor about him. He didn't leave any stone unturned about the surgery. He doesn't try to talk you into the process at all and lets you know ALL of the risks and benefits of it.I had been very determined to have the WLS before I got there but after the deminar I was over the top with enthusiasm.I also had an office visit the same day as the seminar and there staff if very nice. They even came out into the waiting area and asked if anyone needed anything like water. or anything else. I wouldn't change my mind at all on the choice I made of him.

S. Marden "Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil." ~ James Allen "I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you." ~ Author Unknown "Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life.

Challenges are not a thing of winning or losing; they are a way of learning from them to become a better person every day! ~ Alexsander Rodriguez, P.R "Don't ask for it to be easy, ask for it to be worth it." Dan Kuschell "The most important question to ask is not 'What am I getting?' The most important question to ask on the job is 'What am I becoming?'"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however." - Richard Bach "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins; not through strength, but through persistence." ~ Jackson Brown "I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." ~ J.B. Priestly "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." ~ Julia Cameron "The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. That block of granite is often nothing more than a decision." ~ Thomas Carlyle "Being yourself is not remaining what you were, or being satisfied with what you are. It is the point of departure." ~ Sydney Harris "Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth." ~ Katherine Mansfield "Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid. JUST DO IT." ~ Nike advertising campaign "I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people - determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." ~ Carolyn Warner "Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives." ~ Author Unknown "It's never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot "For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it." ~ Author Unknown "Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson A wish changes NOTHING; A decision, changes EVERYTHING "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will,they soon become inevitable."

    Never look back, and keep on looking forward to tomorrow! Tomorrow there will be less pain, tomorrow there will be more energy, tomorrow is filled with hope, tomorrow is already on it's way, tomorrow is bright and full of wonder, tomorrow is a new day, and keep making plans, keep hoping, and keep looking forward because tomorrow is coming! Yesterday is gone, it is the past, tomorrow is the future, and today it is a gift, that's why you call it the present. -unknown

PLASTIC SURGERY CONSULT APPOINTMENT MADE!
on June 15, 2007 8:15 pm

June 15, 2007

       Well I have made a major decision to go see a plastic surgeon in Atlanta on August 14th. I was just sitting around one morning and decided to just give them a call and see what they had to say. I picked out Dr. Marisa Lawrence in Atlanta. Her staff seemed so nice and informative. I talked to the insurance woman in her office that does the ins things and she seemed to know alot about going thru the hoops to get approved. I have to just pay my co pay when I see them for the consult and my insurance will kick in for the consult visit. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. Its federal kind so guess we will see what happens. I dont right off know what I want done. One thing is because it depends on what they will approve me for first... So will find out when the time comes. I also went to my PCP today and had her give me a perscription for a rash under my stomach. Every summer it gets that way and this summer is no different just because Im not as heavy. The skin is inreal I tell ya. That makes the second time Ive been to her about this issue so at least have twice to be documented for PS wise... I also had my lab work done because I have been getting sorta light headed and dissy when I get up from time to time and so figured It was time again anyway. I know my blood pressure is great so maybe its an iron issue???? who knows?? I have to have a mammogram next Wednesday ugh... Ive never had one and also having a pap. Ugh... gonna be a bad Wednesday lol... But needs doing and will be easier than when I was so heavy with the pap deal. I just hated going and undressing for any reason back in he day ugh... Not that now is much better but come on.... So have alot going on but am really trying to talk to myself about the plastics.. I just dont have the same feelings that I did about wls. It was a life or death feeling to have wls and I know that plastics arent. But jeez how much nicer would it be to not have all this hanging and sagging stomach to deal with everyday. I have no idea how much more weight I will lose but can tell ya now that after the 215lbs Ive lost so far it is just terrible skin wise.....
