Surgeon Testimonial

Carlos Weber, M.D.
Dr. Weber is an excellent surgeon! He answered all my questions and never made me feel rushed.

He definitely stressed the risks of surgery to me, and told me I was one of the lucky ones when I had so few problems post surgery.

I would rate him as EXCELLENT!

Surgical competenece is probably superior to bedside manner. He seems a little shy actually.

My Story

I have gained over 100 lbs. since a hysterectomy 15 years ago. I have tried several diets, and I lose 30 lbs. and then gain back more. Broke my leg 2 and a half years ago, and now cannot walk for more than a block without pain. My orthopedic surgeon says the pain will be much less if I lose weight.

Tomorrow I go for my meeting with the surgeon in Honolulu. I'm a little nervous, but will be glad to have this next step out of the way, so I'm really on my way to surgery next week. More are I figure out how to do fancy things with profile.

August 27, 2006

Gee, time sure does fly! I had my surgery on July 26th and it went great! The surgery was only one hour and 45 minutes, and the surgeon said it was "routine." That sounded good to me! I was in the hospital for two days, and came home feeling tired but great otherwise. No pain at all, and just five bandages on the pukas (holes) in my belly.

Since then, in the past 4 weeks, I've lost 25 lbs. and am now eating things like protein bars, cottage cheese/papaya/blueberries, yogurt, soup, etc. I am feeling like a million bucks, and so very grateful that everything has turned out so good.

Now, I'm on the journey to reach my goal weight....hopefully within a year.

Thanks for visiting my profile.
