Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Rowland
My first impression of Dr. Rowland was that he was such a nice, caring person with wonderful bed side manners. My impression changed over time with him because I learned that he truly cares if I succeed. His office staff is as wonderful as he iss. He has a wonderful attitude and is just a joy to see. I would recommend him to anyone. He is great and is my angel as he keeps me motivated to my new life.

Well guys I hate to admit it, but i am struggling.  I have gained two pounds back and am quite depressed about this.  I am hoping to get back on track and get my motivation back.  I find myself grazying while at work and it isn't for the good.  If anyone has any suggestions I am hoping someone will contact me.  Thanks for everyone's support.

Pictures, Pictures and more Pictures!
These girls never get tired of taking pictures of me.  This journey has changed my life in so many ways I can't even explain.  I love to go places now and just do anything that i want to do.  I do still find myself going to the plus size clothes in the store and sometimes sitting in a corner at a bar.  My mind still hasn't caught up with my body. It is all so unbelievable.  I want to start exercising more to tighten up.  It is really hard to find time to do so since i have the two boys, BUT last night i was thinking.  I can take them with me.  Run or walk around my yard.  Our yard is huge and a great big square.  That way they can be with me to and they aren't holding me back as they can play.  There are so many things i can do now that i couldn't do before as I was so out of breath.  I have found that i am tired a lot more lately, but  I am sure i will come out of that.  Everyone take care.  I can't wait to go shopping when i save some money up.  I go through clothes so fast.

I have updated another picture on here.  Hard to believe it is me, but it is.  I am almost 6 months out, so i am really tryin to kick it in the butt to get more off.  I have lost 110 lbs. so far from day in the hospital.  I want to lose 40 more lbs.  I am exericsing and eating healthier and picking my water up.  It is not easy that is for sure, but i have a WAIST, I have a WAIST.  Can't believe i have one to tell you the truth.  I am in a size 16 currently, but would like to get to a 12.  That will be the all time bomb if that happens.  WEll if you are struggling, hang in there.  YOu willl make it.  I never thought i would be in a 16.  I cam from a 28 pant size.  So it can happen, i am living proof.  Take care all and keep in touch.  To my good friend Debbie, i couldn't of done this without you.  YOU ARE THE BOMB!!

Well I have updated photos on here and I hope everyone enjoys.  I am still having a hard time seeing myself as a different person even though I am 100 lbs. down.  It is difficult to realize that and i am not sure if i ever will.  
Everything else has been going well.  I am going out with friends to celebrate my 100lb loss forever.  I never want to be that heavy again.  I am still setting my goal to reach 150lbs. and i hope with my determination i will get there.  Everyone take care!

Well here we are in July already.  Boy does time ever fly.  It has been pretty good, some ups and downs but here i am still moving along.  Last night i walked 3 miles after work.  i was beginning to wonder if i was going to make it home, i was exhausted.  i had my good shoes on and i still have a huge blister on my right food.  Although that will not stop me tonight from walking.
We had a pretty good weekend, went out friday and saturday with friends had a blast.  Sunday, we went on the the lake in the boat.  Had a good time, except for one smart asses comment that hurt me pretty bad regarding my weight.  i just turned around and said "You would think after losing almost 100lbs. that you would have no comments but good about me, but nope still you are an ass.  That was all i had to say he got the point, but i was truly hurting inside bad.  I guess everyone can't be perfect.  Anyway, i hope everyone is doing well and i will update again soon.  i have a  picture to update, but am having trouble getting it uploaded.

My Story

10/17/06:

Well here we are in the middle of October already.  I can hardly believe it.  I am getting ready for a big day next Monday where I will have three of my appointments that day.  It will be a long day, but heck one more month out of the way.  I am excited, time is flying by with all of my appointments.  I had a behavioral class a month ago where I met a few people that I have been keeping in touch with.  That was great to know there are others like me.  Well bye for now and i will update after my appointments next week.
