Surgeon Testimonial

Eric Hanly
Dr. Hanly is an amazing surgeon! While he may not be as experienced as some bariatric surgeons, he has a top notch education under his belt and knows his stuff. He is caring and compassionate, explains things in great detail, and is very thorough. He is extremely easy to talk to and answers any and all questions thoroughly. He has wonderful bedside manner in addition to his competency as a surgeon. I would say his only downfall is his punctuality, I had to wait a little longer than expected at my appointments with him. My favorite thing about Dr. Hanly is his devotion to Jesus Christ. While he doesn't push his religion onto anyone, he is very spiritual and is willing to pray with his patients before surgery. This brought me a great deal of comfort. His program is excellent as well and provides wonderful follow-up care that gives you all the tools you need to succeed post-op. Everyone at the bariatric clinic is very friendly, easy to work with, and never hesitant to answer a question no matter how silly or stupid you think it may be. They return phone calls very quickly. They handle insurance claims for you and are very organized and on top of things in that regard.

Overall Dr. Hanly and his office offer, to a smaller community, a weight loss surgery program of a caliber that one would expect to find in a larger city. I feel very lucky to be a part of this growing practice on the Western Slope and would recommend St. Mary's Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Center and Dr. Hanly to anyone interested in having weight loss surgery!

12 Weeks Post-Op
on January 10, 2012 6:20 pm
Hello all!

I am officially 12 weeks post-op today and am down 58.3 pounds since surgery! This makes my total loss from my highest weight a whopping 102.2 pounds! Yay!!! My weight today was 282.8. I'm almost out of the 280's already... seems like it was just yesterday I was breaking out of the 300's :)

I have my 12 week followup appointment with my NUT and my surgeon on 1/25. I can't wait to see my surgeon and hear what he has to say about my progress. I  haven't seen him since week 2 post op so it should be interesting! :)

Not much to really say with this post. School starts again in a week. Not sure I'm ready for that just yet, but here we go! LOL

Here's a recent body shot and my "official" before shot (even though I was 15 pounds heavier than I was at my heaviest)! I can hardly believe the difference! :)

So THIS Is Dumping...
on January 6, 2012 6:29 pm
So here I am... nearly 3 months post-op. Up until recently I had tested the boundaries on fat and sugar content in foods and was failry certain that I was not a dumper. Well, I don't know what's changed in the past few days, but suddenly I am now starting to experience dumping syndrome. WTH?

Not that I'm proud of it, but I ate a chicken nugget happy meal from McDonald's a while back and it gave me no problems. But NYE my family had queso made with lean ground beef, beans, velveeta, and rotel and THAT caused me to dump. Granted, I didn't look at the fat content in Velveeta, but I'm pretty sure it's less than what's in a happy meal.

The other day I made rice krispie treats with my daughter. I've been bad and eating a small one here and there. Until today they've given me no problem, but as I write this, I'm sitting here feeling so nauseous and I have a heart rate of 100bpm and a little bit of a headache.

My dumping isn't terribly scary or very severe. I have nausea, my heart races, and I get a headache. That's it. Still doesn't feel good by any means, but it's not like I'm running to the toilet or vomiting or anything. It's still enough incentive to stay away from crap foods, though!

I'm just baffled as to why this is just now starting and why it's on random foods that, if history sets an example, shouldn't give me any issues. It's just weird.
