Surgeon Testimonial

Brent Bruderer, M.D.
I believe that Dr. Bruderer is the best in North Dakota. I truely believe that he saved my life. Him and his staff are well trained and are more of a team then any other office I am been to. They have such a perfect system and know exactly what each persons job is. The follow up appointments were just as involved as the pre-op. They truely wanted to make sure you were okay after the surgery too. I would recommend Dr. Bruderer and his staff to anyone!

Feeling better! (174LBS)
on May 23, 2008 6:10 am
Yesterday I went in and had my drainage tubes taken out. Oh that felt weird to have them taken out but I feel so much better already. I did alot more yesterday and was up and about more. But I payed for it towards the evening when my pain started kicking in!! I tried on my "goal panties" last night. OH MAMMA!!! I LOOKED GOOD!!! If I do say so myself...LOL ! It almost ALMOST made the pain I am going through worth it! Oh and by the way, 10 more lbs and I have lost half of myself!!!

Home from Hospital (???lbs)
on May 17, 2008 11:06 am

I just got back home from the hospital. I am in alot of pain but I am hoping it is worth it. This was the worst pain I have ever had for a surgery. I really wanted it done but WOW this was painful!!! I dont think I will be having anymore done. This was enough for awhile! They took 9lbs 4ozs off my tummy. I was suppose to get out of there on the 16th but I was in too much pain to leave. So all together I was there from wed the 14th till today the 17th But wow I am loving the shape already! Will update soon and post some before pics

Pregnant! (180lbs)
on May 14, 2007 7:47 pm
I found out last month that I am pregnant with our first bio child! We are so excited to have this news. I am overwhelmed also with this being our 5th child in the family. (2 adopted, 2 step) Thankfully the step children are only here to visit. I dont know how I would handle 5 full time! So much for not being able to have any children. I have pcos and hubby and I have been trying for going on 11 years. I am happy that God has blessed us with this event!
