Surgeon Testimonial

Joao Marchesini, M.D.
Dr. Marchesini was better than I expected. Let me tell you when you hear people on this and other boards talking about Dr. Marchesini and how great he is you need to pay attention. I honestly feel that I recieved better care at the hospital Santa Cruz in Brazil than I would have gotten here in the USA. And I have been in hospitals here before and I know first hand. The nurses were great. The hospital was CLEAN. Durval was a hoot.

Time has flown by since I last updated. And life-changing events have taken place. I was let go from my job of 10+ years at the end of March. I have, as of last Friday, started a new career with better pay and benefit's! I am learning a whole New World, the world of auto repair & am very grateful for this opportunity.
I have lost 1/2 of me. I weigh 180 #'s & I am a size 12. I think I may be finished as loosing as I have not lost anything in a very long time and have been at this size since the end of December 07.

My BMI is 28.1; I am still moderately overweight. My goal is to have a NORMAL BMI. Hopefully it will happen for me one day. But not loosing a # in all this time makes me wonder if I will ever make it.
