Surgeon Testimonial

Tiffany Jessee D.O
** update** I love my surgeon and her team!!! they are wonderful.. Still amazed at how personable EVERYONE is and how GREAT THEY ARE!!
What was your first impression of her? Okay, the moment I meet Dr Jessee I knew she was the woman for the job. She was very positive and made me feel completely at ease.
How would you describe her office staff? The office staff are great helpful always willing to answer questions and want to make sure you understand the instructions given.
What did you like least about her? The only thing I could think that I do not like is that the hospital where I will have my surgery is so far away and traffic is a bummer to get to the hospital.
What should future patients know about her? Dr.Jessee truly enjoys seeing people excited about getting healthy and maintaining their health. She is intuned with each individual and has shared her own stories in regard to her mothers decision to have WLS.. She likes the fact that she can help others achieve their goals. All of her patients give rave reviews!!!
How much does she emphasize aftercare? She is upfront and lets you know that the initial surgery is only the beginning and keeping all appointments and getting proper after care is essential to your health and wellness and your success with WLS
Does she have a structured aftercare program? I love the fact that everything is so structured. Sorry to be bias but I started with another surgeon (male) and even though he is a good dr. She is just on top of everything
How did he/she address the risks of surgery?
How would you rate him/her overall?
Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great? Both are great. I watched her perform fills on two different patients. I have nothing negative to say about her.

it has been a little ofver 2 years since my lapband. I have been through some storms to say the least. I haven't done all that I should have or should be doing. However, I am moving forward believing that I can win... I was doing so well and then life hit me and kept hitting me.. No excuses just straight truth.. I am rededicating myself and being fully committed to my health physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I will succeed in this battle of obesity.. How can I continue to help others when I am a mess? So, I have been working on ME. I have moved to a new state physically and mentally.. I am worth it... Okay,  gotta get moving... see you soon and I will post pics soon.

Well it is a little late, but better late than never. Anyway tried to upload some pics but that didnt go according to plan. For some reason every time I try and update my ticker or add photos there is a problem... Ugggh. Anyway, weightloss is going good. Feeling good from my head to my shoes, I know where I am going and I know what to do. I got a new attitude. Think that sums it up for me.

It's a New Day!!
on February 4, 2010 4:12 am
I feel so refreshed... The scale is finally moving again after 6wks of nothing. during the 6 wks I lost only 1lb. I know horrible right. In any event I did lose inches. My bust size decreased from a 44 to a 40 so hey I am excited. Anyway during the last week I have lost 8lbs. It seemed so weird to have lost nothing and then get on the scale and like 8lbs. Yay me!!! Anyway I checked on 3 different scales before I believed it was accurate. LOL!. Anyway, I feel great! I havent had alot of attention in the last few years from men, but my God you would think I just moved to a new city because they are on me like vultures.. that part is kinda weird but you know what I can handle a little attention!!. Well I am hoping all the preops and postops are doing well. I have been on this kick of putting my best foot forward and trying to motivate others to become healthier for themselves because we matter!! So motivate, encourage, inspire, support, believe in someone today!!

I am so grateful!!

New Attitude
on January 5, 2010 4:18 am
Okay today is 1/5/10 and I feel absolutely fabulous!! I had been down in the dumps with family issues for the last few months well since about a week after surgery. I really hadnt had time to focus on me and on this great tool I have been blessed to recieve. All in all though I am a survior and I feel fabulous!!! Though things have been thrown at me I fell a few times I am still standing.  So I am at the point where today I am focusing on me first not being selfish, but if I dont concentrate on me then I am no use for anyone else. Today I plan on walking 4miles and going to take a stab and jab at this billy blanks dvd Lawd help me please!!! I hope and pray that I am on the right track as I refuse to weigh myself until my next appt. I have been making better food choices and have learned to slow the heck down while eating or get a traffic ticket so to speak!! that ticket is no joke either. So chew chew chew and chew and chew for me!!! I love my tool and now that things are running like they should be (knock Knock on wood) I am running trying to see what my end will be.

Oh yea on another note my sister has decided that she wants her daughter back. That is all fine and dandy but before she goes back my sister needs and I expect some anger management, parenting skills, and counseling sessions to take place. I was angry that after she caused some much havoc and chaos in my household and now expects everything to go back to the way it was. But I have prayed and just say you know what in the best interest of the child get some help and be consistent with getting that help. We shall see.

Love Peace and Unspeakable JOY!!!

Well I finally started posting some pics on OH havent taken any in the last couple weeks. I just wanted to add some to show how I am changing what this body of mine looks like.

I have made a new point to hold myself accountable and to do the very best I can everyday. I think the weightloss is going good, but I think it could be going great. In any event it is going so for that I am grateful. I know that all things are possible if I have faith and I put that faith in action, because FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!! So I am being like Nike and just doing it. I have a little challenge going on with another OH'er to keep us motivating and to have some bragging rights. I believe that we can push each other with this little tatic we are testing. Anyway, I hope all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas and if I dont talk with you again this year Please have a Happy, Blessed, Joyous, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year. Smooches everyone.

Oh yeah I have found that this band of mine has different personalities (lol) This chic acts like she dont want me to live sometimes. So I have discovered for breakfast I must have a protein shake no food items in the am. Not eggs or nothing. But you know what it will definitely help to get my required protein  intake. So, I am just going to keep on loving my tool despite what others say about it. I LOVE MY BAND AND ALL HER PERSONALITIES. LOL  Muuuuah! Good night

My Story

My current weight is 285 as of today.. I am a mother of two. Toivonia 17 and Tymar 15. I am looking to move forward in my weightloss journey.. I have lost and gained, gained and lost, so many times I lost count. I started researching WLS about 5 years ago, but allowed fear to take control. Well guess what fear is gone.. Right now I am afraid of dying from doing nothing, rather than to die trying... So with that being said.. My children are very supportive of my decisions they were a little afraid when I first got serious about this in April of this year. So, I had them come to my orientation appt at the surgeon's office. They listened and asked a lot of questions.. Now I am just sitting back and waiting on God to see me through. I am not worried about the nay sayers, I am putting all my trust, hope, and faith in God. I will let you know how my next appt and evaluations go. I am excited to know I have tools within my reach and that this battle with weightloss will soon be over... Victory is mine!!!
