Surgeon Testimonial

Robert Korn
Haven't met him yet. His seminar was great. He gives his patients the choise between the RNY and the Lap Band, Yeah!rnrn07/25/07rnWe finally met Dr. Korn and his staff, WOW! We feel very confident with this doctor and his staff. He took time to explaine everything to us. He is also very familiar with the requirements needed for insurance approval and has already laid out a plan for us. We are very happy with this doctor and hope things will go a lot smoother than before.

Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else.

Hi Folks!

Yes, I haven't written in a while, I have been so busy. I have completed my BA and another semester of tutoring children. It amazes me how much a few pounds in weight loss can improve ones quality of life.

I have been at a stand still on my weight loss but I am okay with it, but let me tell you, I am okay with it. I am not very close to my "ideal weight" but I can move. By this I mean that I can climb up a flight of stairs without being out of breath, I can ride my bike and take long walks without my back or legs going out, and the best part it that my blood pressure is normal and I am no longer a diabetic.

I have been having problems with irregularity and so I decided to start taking "Body Choice High Fiber Hoodia."

The oddest thing was that I took it first thing in the morning, and about 1 hour later, energy! I felt so charged but not overdone. This energy lasted from 11 until 4 and then again after dinner for another hour. Also, the fiber in this worked great! Of course this is my first day, but I will keep you posted on my progress.

I am truly a slacker!!! I have not kept up with my blog... see how I am!?!?!?!

I have been busy with school, homeschooling and work, not to mention the usual chores around the house :o)

I go in Thursday or a fill. I am in the process of getting up to that Sweet Spot we I can eat enough but not to much. I think I am at 5cc right now but I use to be at 9cc but I ended up with acid reflux and phlegm.... nasty stuff.

I am very grateful to not eat like I use to. Here is an example.... I would get am 8oz steak with half slab of ribs, fries, green beans, salad, 5 rolls, and a desert to boot!!! Today my husband, son and myself will share the same meal but we no longer have fries, rolls, salad, and we share a the green beans!

Thank you LORD!!!

I am now off to do the laundry :o)

Wow have I slacked off or what?!?!

I have been oddly busy with homeschooling my son, my own school work, and tutoring outside the home. Sigh.... what a busy silly woman I am.

I am going in for a fill on the 22nd and I am so excited. I am so close to hitting a new weight loss goal. Now it wont be THE goal but certainly a goal.

I tell you, when I had to have my band emptied out, I hated not being restricted. I think it was more of a fear that I could easily put to many pounds back on, and I don't want to be that "fluffy" anymore. No thank you!

Sorry to keep this so short, I have a term paper to write.

TTFN!!!

I am back on the wagon and I love it!

I had to get my band unfilled because I got something stuck, then I got unfilled. 2 months later and Dr K pit in 3 cc's and I am good to go.

I did not like having no restriction, eating a small meal would not be enough but I refused to eat any more then a small amount. Sadly during the 2 months I gained 15 lbs, but I am on my way to losing it again!!

Let me tell you about my adventure....

So i started having issues last week, couldn't swallow solids but I was okay with that. Then I couldn't swallow my own spit, what was that all about!! My hubby ended up taking me to the ER which is never pleasant, especially since we don't have insurance.

So I show up and they stick an IV bag in me, and then another one. I was hoping that they would just un fill my lapband and send me home but they kept me for observation overnight. The next morning my lapband was unfilled and all the pain was gone. I had 9cc removed and just when I was thought they would put at least half of it in, nothing!!

I am feeling much better but I don't like not havung restriction. I am being very careful with what I eat, I even did 1 while week of liquids but i need my fill. I am so afraid of getting the weight back, it isn't even funny.

I usually get my fills via floroscope but that will cost me $650 cash up front!! I should be going into the office sometime next week and I pray that my port will be found with the first prick!! I need my fills!!!

Anyone out there have the same experience?
