Surgeon Testimonial

Laurence K. Tanaka M.D.
Met with Dr. Tanaka and he was professional and reassuring. What a big contrast from Dr. Horgan!!!rnrnHe is a man of few words but I trust him totally. I was so at ease when I had my surgery it surprised me.

It's just me....I am not in the best of moods today!
on February 6, 2010 8:00 pm
Well, today I just moved from being SMO to Obese or something like that....or whatever the charts says a BMI of 39 puts me. I was re-evaluating my goals and stuff and I have decided to change my WL goal. I think...now I said I think I would like to be 130-135lbs! Why, well according to the charts and stuff that would put me in a healthy range. I just want to be in a healthy range BMI. Also, today I ran into an old friend at the barbershop and we somehow got on the subject about an old friend of mine that was/is really big and does splits and stuff and then he asked about another associate of mine that he use to talk to when he cut hair in my mom's shop and I was like oh yeah she is big now and when I say big she is bigger than me now! He says well you have lost a lot of weight I said yeah well I have been trying and when he first met me I had just had my first child the year before and went from the size I am now to the size I was post op! I have really came a long way and today really reminded me of that. I haven't been this size since I was in like the 8th grade!!!

The other day I tried on some size 14 pants that I bought from torrid about 2 months ago. I can actually get in them and fasten them!!! Yay me! LOL shit I didn't buy any size 16s but damn I got about 2 pair of size 14s and a few other size 1x's. I do a lot of self evaluations because I figured I know me better than a "shrink" but I just realized that I haven't let the thought that this will be a new me set in yet. I have been this size so many times over my life that it's just doesn't mean anything to significant to me yet. I am putting myself on an as long as I lose 10lbs a month I am good plan. It seems to be working so far! Well, I am hoping to be in "onederland" by the beginning of next month and hopefully I will be somewhere in the 180s by the time I make it to see my surgeon for my 6 month check up. Anyways, all is well for right now.
