Surgeon Testimonial

Les Miles, M.D.
I highly recommend Dr. Miles as a surgeon and a WLS doctor (pre-op and Post). I like his matter-of-fact style - that really works for me. He is very honest and will spend all the time you need. His staff is wonderful. I saw his nurse practitioner this week when I went for my 1-week post op visit. She was in the surgery - but, of course, I don't remember her at all! She was really great also. Veronica, his Bariatric Coordinator, is great. She had gastric bypass surgery years ago and is a true inspiration. She has such a good attitude about life that is makes me see that I, too, can suceed at this! Great staff, great doctor.

Sorry I haven't posted lately.  We have been out of town so much this summer that I haven't been on the board much.  It's good to be back!  I went in for my 4th fill today.  I am now up to 3 cc's in my 4 cc band.  The Nurse Pract. thinks this should do me for awhile.  I have been at sort of a standstill for most of the summer.  I am down 45 pounds now.  I am VERY happy with this loss, but it's hard when the scale isn't moving.  But I have gone down another dress size over the summer.  I am now wearing a 12.  While I was in B'ham today I went to Ann Taylor Loft and actually bought a dress!  I haven't been able to wear a dress (unless it was a tent dress) for many years.  I am excited and can't wait to wear it.  The 12's just slid right on today.  I talked with the nurse at Dr. Mile's and she feels like my level of exercise is why the scale isn't moving but the sizes are.  She says this is normal and GOOD.  I am gaining muscle while losing fat.  I know I am doing right - I just have to keep it up and reach my goal.  I will not settle for less!!  We talked about what my goal is today and both agreed on 150 pounds.  I have about 24 pounds to go.  I know I can do this - it would be a life-changing moment for me to actually reach my goal.  I have never done that.  It may take awhile, but I am going to stick this thing out!  I feel great and love who I am again.  I can't let the scale dictate if I am happy or not!  I will be happy to hit that 50 pounds, though - I won't lie.  Maybe this fill will help me a little bit.

I love my band!
