Surgeon Testimonial

Timothy V. Chavis, M.D.
I met with Dr. Chavis and I was very impressed with him. He seems to be a caring doctor and he answered my questions truthfully. I have heard wonderful things about him anyway and I was told by one of his gastric bypass patient that he had wonderful bedside manners and he made sure that you are treated with the up most respect while in the hospital.

HELLO OH FAMILY!
on October 3, 2007 8:52 am
Well hello OH family!! I haven't posted in a minute so i thought i would say hello. I have lost a few more pounds, and i am soooo happy with my progress even though it has slowed down significantly. God is an awesome God!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm still wearing a 16W in jeans but guess what? I went to a store that just opened up a few weeks ago and they had regular jeans on sale for $7.99  well the sizes ranged from 2-18 regular. So i decided that i would try on a pair of 16's and 18's just to see if they would fit. There is a big difference between a plus size or woman's jeans than the regular misses. Like i said i can wear a 16plus jean. Well i couldn't get the regular 16 buttoned but i could with the 18 and they were loose. I was tickled knowing that i can wear a regular pair of jeans now. So i bought them with a belt and i bought a pair of sweats and guess what size they were? a LARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's right, this sista has went from a 3XL-4XL sweats to a Large. I tried on the XL and they were too big. Shoot, the large is loose on me. So i thank God for this blessing. It hasn't been easy here lately, i have cravings and i have a couple of times gave in to these cravings, but you know what? i learn from them and move on. I found  a picture of me from Thanksgiving 2005 and family, it brought me to tears. I didn't realize that i was that big and had let myself go like that. My aunt who was cruel to me on that Thanksgiving, didn't have a right to embarass me and hurt my feelings but when i looked at that picture, i told my family , i see what she was talking about. She made the comment: God Michelle, how much bigger are you going to get? I wish that i could some how post it so you all can see what i'm talking about, but it was taken with a regular camera. My cousins from Maryland came in this weekend and they were soooooo shocked. When we saw that picture, they were like Michelle you look like a totally different person now and i have to agree.  The only problem that i seem to be having at this moment is acne. My skin used to be so smooth and clear and now i break out all the time. And after i break out these bumps leave black marks on my face. Does anybody know what i should do? I go next week for my 7 month checkup(didn't get to do my 6 month checkup) so maybe they can tell me what i need to do. i wash my face everyday with a cleanser and all of that.  Anywho, i have talked you all to death. I feel great and i see the progress. I'm still working out and my personal trainer is no joke. He doesn't give a sista a break at all and that's what i need. Well OH family, i guess i better run. I will update once i come from my checkup and let you all know how things are going. Until next time, take care and be blessed!!!!!
