Surgeon Testimonial Alex Gandsas, M.D., F.A.C.S. I went to Dr.Gandsas last year. He performed my surgery in May 2007 I was 408 lost 20 pounds prior to surgery now i am 355 pounds and counting. hes a sweetheart. and cute too..lol . he was professional and honest. and straightforward. when i feel comfortable with a Dr. that tells me a lot. he made sure my before and aftercare was taken care of properly. i had no issues surgery came out great. yes he has a great bedside manner which is important to me as a patient. i give him 4 stars. he saved my life. i thank him .rnFrom Paula Cuffie Member Interests

Yes i have lost a total of 150 I wore my first size 18 jeans a little snug but guess what.. it encourage me more to stay on the right path. yes i have snuck a few cookies here and there but . i have programed myself not to buy the wrong things in the market. i have recieved so many compliments i still see myself as the same woman somewhat. i just had my tummy tuck in dec"08 i still wake up hoping it's a nightmare. i tell you. the excess skin i cannot believe. the Dr. has removed 91/2 pounds of fat. it was painful but worth it. i feel light. i can bend better you know i look forward to working out again. i had to take a hiatus on the work out but i still get out and move walk in the mall . yes going to the mall and looking at stuff you never thought you could wear again. have a flat tummy at that you cannot help but gloat. the important thing is that my diabetes is now under control i am doing 20 units aday compare to 20 in the morning and 30 at night plus actos. i was on metformin but it gave me the runs.. you know what i am talking about for those whom has used this drug. but the thing is i went out dancing New Years Eve. and I was partying with the Baltimore Ravens. hey!.... lol . and i was wearing an outfit i bought 3 yrs ago from california. It fit like a glove. and it was sexy. i looked in the mirror and said to myself."dammit i look Good. it just came out and i meant it and felt it. i miss you all. for the support. but i have not disappeared i just thank god. and yes i am dating again. He's a very nice man. but all in all .. you still have to work on self regardless of the weight. you know i was watching oprah she said its not what your eating its whats eating you. for the first time i could relate. if your gaining it back something is unblanced in your life. and believe me i can relate... wholeheartdly . until next time.
