Surgeon Testimonial

David Suh, M.D.
Dr. Suh performed my RNY gastric bypass in April 2008. I am almost 4 years post op. Would I do it again? Yes, only with Dr. Suh as my surgeon! I have gone from 242 preop and am easily maintaining 140 by keeping up with high protein daily. Zero complications and zero regrets.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have been heavy all of my life. Both my mother, my aunt and grandmother battled their weight. I see signs of obesity in my 10 year old daughter. WLS has changed my life and I hope to prevent my daughter from needing WLS to control her eating habits and maintain her health.

    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. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~JudyAnne~

Just some thoughts....
posted on 9/20/08 5:22 pm
At our support group our leader showed us her loose skin on her thighs. Yewwww! I am starting to see some minor loose skin in the tops of my thighs (and of course my stretch marks are shrinking) but the loose skin is not noticeable to anyone but me.  One older woman in our support group who makes a point of over telling her story EVERY month and goes on FOREVER, who some of us call "mother hen",  made some smart ass comment (when we were asked to share our stories to the preops) about how we lose weight better when we are younger, blah blah blah,  when I said I was down to a size 10!   Guess she is a bit jealous. Of course my response was something to the effect of why I had WLS now while I was younger.  Tooooooo much fun to stir the pot! If you know me, you know how nonchalantly  I can stir the pot with those who annoy me!  Of course, I had so much fun standing next to her in my size 10 jeans!  Don't know who the new guy was but he made my day when he said I looked great and my skin/face didn't look like I was ever heavy and lost weight like so many peoples face does.  (No, he wasnt hitting on me! Just made a really nice compliment.)  Wore  another pair of those size 10 jeans to the soccer games today and soooo many people commented on how much smaller I look with better fitting clothes. One of the moms  who was compimenting me I went to high school with so she remembers me skinny and said so many nice things today.  Thanks Becky!!!  Really on cloud nine right now!   Need to have hubby take some more pics to upload!
