Surgeon Testimonial

Muhammad A. Jawad, M.D.
Unfortnately, Dr. Jawad was in surgery and therefore I did not get a chance to meet him. However, I did meet his staff and everyone from Roberto at the front desk with his phenomenal sense of humor to Sandra Denton what a hoot. Sandra Brown should have shared she had had the surgery too. She looks fantastic. rnrnDr. Jawad's group povided very detailed and meticulous information important to having the procedure. rnrnI felt extremely comfortable and at ease with everyone there. rnrnAlthough I was apprehensive about going through with this everyone I have spoken to that has had the procedure wished they would have done it sooner.rnrnI cannot wait to have all my paperwork submitted for approval.rn

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
My weight issues began right after I gave birth to my son in 1986. Before getting pregnant I was a very finicky eater. I prayed when I got on the scale it would stay within 125 and 129. The thought of the scale reaching 130 would create a heart attack!!!! How ironic I am almost 270 lbs. today, who would have thought. I always remember my mother telling me “Don’t ever go on a diet they will only making you gain weight” how right she was. I tried every single diet under the stars from hot dogs and ice cream, to lettuce and coffee. The funny one was 3 apples a day and 3 tablespoons of Peanut Butter – OMG that as so funny. I remember going on a 3 day diet and on the second day falling down the stairs of a NY subway station cuz I had passed out. ...

2009 All will be fine
on January 6, 2009 9:35 am

Greetings My OH Family of Friends:

I start 2009 hoping and praying I will hear some news soon.  The insurance company finally responded with a big "NO" .  However, this provided me with some more time to make sure this is what I want.  I continue to monitor what I am eating and also drinking lots and lots of water (I am always thirsty - due to the in balance of my sugar levels).  However, I lose 4 lbs and gain 3, I lose 3 pounds and gain 6 you can only imagine.  I feel that once I stop taking all these pills I should be okay.  In the meantime, I wait. 

I do apologize for not responding to you guys but I have been down in the dumps.  I have realized that no matter what I need to continue watching what I eat and have decided to take up a little walking. 

So guess what? I am back and with a vengeance, will post a few pics of my holiday trip and will look forward to hearing from you all.  Until then,

Love, Hugs and Kisses.......mu-ah
