Surgeon Testimonial

Jorge Acosta, MD
Dr. Acosta, is kind and professional. My first impression was that he is caring, and really passionate about helping people reach their health goals. His office staff is amazing, Nurse Becky is extremely helpful, and she was so excited to see me after surgery, how many Nurses do you know that are exceted to help you along your journey?! I am a little ove a week out and will be seeing them in a few days, can't wait:) I rate Dr. Acosta at a 10, he is one of the best at what he does!

Drumroll please
on August 14, 2011 7:13 am
Oh wow, I always thought I wouldn't be one of the members who all of a sudden changed my life and quit logging in, but apparently life is just really that great!  I do still love my OH friends though!  Lets see, I started working, Im a server, basically its a great position for me right now, good money, good hours, still get a ton of time with my kids, and a bonus, I am on my feet for 5-6 hours a day running around and carrying heavy trays....rarely need to workout now!  My DH was deployed to Iraq 2 weeks ago, I am still sad he is gone, but I am staying busy to keep my mind off of the sadness and consant worry. 

My weight....drumroll please.....189 this morning!  I am so close to 100 lbs lost I can taste it!  I was having issues with not losing as fast as I thought I should, but have come to realize that my body is my own and it is going to work how it should.  I am thrilled with my weightloss so far, and I know I will have a lot more in the future!  I was losing hair like crazy for awhile there, but then it stopped and started growing back with a vengance, I have millions of baby hairs, yay! 

My daughter started Kindergarten, and is loving it.  I was worried that all the change in such a short time would really affect us, but so far we are doing great.  We went to CO to visit about a month back, it was great to see everyones faces when they saw me;)  Even my ex said something about it, which was weird, but I still appreciated it. The attention I get is overwhelming sometimes, but at least I know that I am healthy, active and happy!  My weightloss even inspired my mom to get her lap band retightened, she had kind of given up I think.  I am proud of her going for it again! 

I want to let you all know how much I appreciate the constant support!
