Surgeon Testimonial Jeffrey Allen, M.D. My first meeting with Dr. Allen was great. He was very informative and very compassionate. He did seem to be a little bit of on demand by his staff on this particular day but, overall I was pleased. I have heard nothing but great things about Dr. Allen from my PCP and others. I hope and pray that all of the positive feedback continues. I'm a firm believer of a Dr. having a good bedside manner and being compassionate to his/her patients. Member Interests

I'm new to the website. I just had to join after looking over this site. I just got my surgery date today and am soooooo!! excited. This is the best Christmas present I could have.....(A surgery date)  . Please, say a prayer for me guy's and I will do the same for you.My Story My page is a work in progress!!!!!! However, I recieved the news today ......I finally got a surgery date!!!! yeah!!!!  I'I amnew to the website but I've got a feeling that I will have lot's of friends. I am so looking forward to meeting people that have the same in common as me. 11/30/07 ** In one week (12/06) I will be going in for my pre-op. YEAH!!! I have kinda been preping myself by drinking protein shakes atleast once/twice daily. I'm hoping that I can make it through the prep-work. I've been reading alot of the diaries of you guy's and it seems a bit rough for some. I'm staying positive though....I did buy me some new pajamas and jogging suits today for my hospital stay. This did make my big day more realistic.....MiniMe 12/05/07 Tomorrow I go for my Pre-OP. Yeah!!! What does this consist of ???? I've been looking at other web pages to see if I can get some info on what to expect during pre-op. I know that I will do blood work but it sounds like you will get an review of information regarding services offered after surgery such as Psyc, dietition counseling. I guess I will find out tomorrow. Wish me luck my surgery is in about four days.....I can't wait to get on the losers bench with the rest of ya'll.......MiniMemo 12/07/07 I went to my pre-op appt. yesterday and recieved a boat load of info. I was a long day yesterday but it made me even more eager for Monday to get here. The bariatric center called this morning to see if I had any more questions. That was very nice of them to do that. It too made me feel more confident about monday's surgery. Everyone has been so kind at the Norton's Bariatric Center....Thanks to you all!!! Wish me Luck and keep me in your prayers....MiniMe 12/08/07 My Surgery is in 1 1/2 day's and every time I think about it I get nervous!! I've been put to sleep before but for some reason I'm nervous. Everyone please keep me in your prayers. I'd love to know what my blood Pressure is right now...Minime38 12/9/07  Tomorrow is my big day....Yea.!! However, I am nervous as H*&%^.....I'll keep you guy's updated as best as I can....See you on the loser's bench...Minime3812/13/07  Hey guy's I did it....My surgery went very well. I came home on Tues. evening due to me needing extra potassium. I was oh'so ready to blow that joint!! *(Get out of the hospital) I feel pretty good. It seems that everyday I do get a little stronger. I am still quite sore. Dr. Allen had to repair a Hernia olong with doing my lapband surgery. I will check in again soon...Minime3812/18/07 I'm still hanging in here!! I'm officially on the losers bench. I'm trying so hard to drink my water and get in all of my protien for the day. It's soooo hard!! I must admit I did try a little salmon/Cod fish and I tolerated that really well. I was very hungry and I too was trying to get in something high in protien. I did feel better after eating it  ...kinda...until next time...Minime3812/25 Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday's to all. I survived Christmas dinner. I did try a little meat and it made me sick  . So I stuck to the veggie's and such. I was totally ok after that. I have been experiencing a little pain on my left shoulder and on my left side where my biggest incision is??? Maybe I'm doing too much to early?? Just checking in...Minime38 01/10/08 Just wanted to update my profile. I went for my two week post-op and I lost 10lbs  I'm sure it would have been more weight lost if I had of drank more water. I feel better each day and my incisions are looking great. I've started going to the gym and walking ect. I hope to see even more results when I go back on the 31st of this month for my first fill. My clothes are looser than before for example today I wore some dress pants that I wore pre-surgery and I had to fold them over twice to make them stay up. WOW!!! I can't believe it.....I also just realized that it's my 1 month anniversary!!! Post-op that is....Minip01/28/08 Hello everyone, Just wanted to check in and give you an update. I'm working out at least three day's a week and my weight is at a standstill?? My clothes are much looser but my weight is at a halt. I guess I'm losing inches and since I'm working out i guess I'm gaining muscle in in exchange for loosing fat...Yea!! I go for my first fill this Thurs. 31st wish me luck **I also had a birthday this month  i turned the big 37"""" I can't believe I'm almost the big "40". God is good!! I will post again soon to update ya'll on my fill....Chan 01/31/08 Hey ya'll.. I went today for my fill  and I was so scurrr'd.. not scared.. LOL. Dr. Allen was very gentle and assured me that it was nothing but "bee sting like". I think the worst part was him trying to find the darn' port. Anyhow, I made it and hopefully I will see more results instead of my weightloss staying parked in neutral. Peace....Chan02/5/08 Went to the gym and tried the dreadful scale and I LOST 5lbs....Yea!!!! 02/28/08 Went back and got my 2nd fill today. Whew!! Boy does it sting...I'm down 30lbs..OH' Yeah, OH'yeah...(I'm Dancin')  03/13/08 I'm down to 234 maybe a little less....my daughter weighed me??? LOL 04/05/08 I'm down 40lbs......Yeah!!!!! 06/24/08 I'm down to 215lbs....Yeah!!! |
