Surgeon Testimonial

Carlos A. Ferrari M.D.
I was referred to Dr. Ferrari by Dr. Wongsa, who after retiring, turned over all his patients to Dr. Ferrari. I was very pleased after our first meeting. I felt very comfortable right away with Dr. Ferrari. He seems very confident in what he does and was extremely patient and willing to answer any and all questions I had. He went over everything and made sure I knew that I could take this as far as I wanted! He said I can reach my goal weight of 135 or 140 - it just depends on how hard I work, but yes, it can DEFINITELY be done! My surgery is in one week and 3 days! I can't wait! Also, through the last few months, while waiting for the insurance approval, I ended up having a few gall bladder attacks. The doctor has always called me immediately (since they always occur in the middle of the night) and his staff always checks on my first thing the next morning. Luckily, we have been able to wait and he will remove my gall bladder when he does my gastric bypass surgery next Monday!

1 year post op!!!!!
on July 30, 2008 8:40 am
I can't believe it's already been a year! One year and 175 pounds GONE FOREVER!!! I'm proud to announce I weigh in at 138 pounds, 12 pounds BELOW my goal weight. I never really expected to even reach my goal, much less go LOWER than that!!!! I feel like I'm on top of the world!!!

I still have days where I look at my recent pictures and think DANG...do I really look like that??? I don't see it in the mirror all the time, which is why my camera is like my new best friend!!!

I'm working nights and just got a gym membership. As you may know, my treadmill is what got me through this year. Now I think it's time to pull out the big guns...BALLY'S!!! lol I'm excited and looking forward to toning up some before my tummy tuck in October!!!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words of encouragment!!!! Posted new pics..check 'em out!

11 Months Post Op
on July 2, 2008 7:00 am
Almost been a year.....finally reached the "maintaining" phase...not really losing OR gaining. I'm finally content with my weight. If i never lose another pound, I'll be fine. I don't really want to lose or gain. If I could stay here, that would be great. Maintaining is definitely harder than losing........but I keep VERY close tabs on my weight so I don't slowly slide back...gaining is one of my fears. 

I work out, not as strenuously as around 6 mos post op, but I exercise moreso to be healthy than to lose weight. I eat well and get my protein in now better than ever. I have a HUGE appetite the week before I start my period, but the other 3 weeks of the month, I'm right on track. 

I'm scheduled for my first plastic surgery in October. I started working a 2nd job at nights waitressing to save up for my breast lift and implants, which I hope to have around Spring Break. 

Life is good....I'm happy. I see these pictures and see a slim girl...but it's hard sometimes because when I look in the mirror, that's not at all what I see. I look at these pictures and think "Really? Do I really look like that???" I guess it takes some getting used to.
