Surgeon Testimonial

Amy Elizabeth Martin, M.D.
Dr. Martin is by far the best doctor I have ever been to. She is caring and supportive and really cares about your recovery. I will never have enough positive things to say about this chick. I really hope that if you are thinking about having surgery that you will consider her. Dr. Martin has gone above and beyond, I know that she is there whenever I need her. I have never once felt like I was just another patient to her. Thank you for everything Dr. Martin.

I am 22 years old, 4'11" and weight 218. I love reading, writing, my wonderful boyfriend, my 2 very awesome dogs and my family. I have been trying to research this surgery for over 2 years. I have goals that I think this surgery will help me with, I want a job! I want to join some groups or other kinds of things that might help me get over my social anxiety disorder. I am very excited at the prospect of getting my life back, being able to get out there and really do something without all the pain. I have no children. I hope to one day be able to have a family, however I am not going to bring a child into this world with a mother who cannot care for it. I have been snooping around on here for a long long time reading and gathering everyones thoughts and views and outcomes.

Well everyone...just when I was about to say this was not worth it...I had a week full of wows.  First I went shopping and bought a dress, a size 16 dress and it is loose.  I was in size 22 dress.  I also tried on some pants, cause mine were falling down.  I went into the dressing room with a size 20 and a size 18 (the ones I had were 22's) and check this out...neither one fit!! I am also a size 16 pants(no wonder my 22's were falling lol).  Then I decided to check my weight....here it comes...I am overweight!!!  I needed this after all the emotions and sad feelings.  I cut my hair all off because I was losing it.. and that made me feel horrible..but now I can actually see something that makes me feel worth it.  Hair grows back, hopefully I wont!

Ok So I got my 3 month labs and they were wonderful!!  I also went shopping for clothes for the first time since surgery.  Guess what?  I fit into a size 16 dress and size 16/18 pants.  I started wearing a 20 dress and size 22 pants.  How cool is that huh? For the first time in years I bought a dress.  I will be showcasing it at my grandma's 90th birthday party. this is also the first time anyone in my family besides my mom and dad will see me since surgery.  I am excited.
