Surgeon Testimonial

Eliot Sieloff, M.D.
The impression of Dr.Siefoff is he is very soft spoken and knowledgeable. My impression stayed the same. His office staff is great especially His nurse Jodi awesome.There was nothing to not like. He is very likable. Future patients should know that he is great,patient and kind. He really emphasizes aftercare. He addressed them in detail. He would get the highest mark. Both were great. He is a great man. Patient and kind.

Hello everyone ,

Happy new year and welcome new members. I am good had a wonderful  new year.  I have had so much death in my family that it could have brought me to my knees but it did not.  I have been steadily moving forward.  I have good days and bad.  I got pregnant again and gave birth on the day of my sisters funeral.  Life is bittersweet like that.  I love my new angel.  I pray we all stay upbeat and blessed.

Hie everyone I know it has been a while since I posted.  But believe me when I say I have been on here everyday lurking and reading.  I am happy everyone is doing well.  Welcome to all the new members.  It has been 2yrs for me it seems like just yesterday.  Since I have been on this journey so much has happened.  I lost my dad last year then turn around and lost my baby.  I could have just gave up.  You know what I did not.

I know that there is a plan for me.  What the plan is I don;t know.  Maybe I am not meant to know what gods plan is for me now.  He will let me know in his time not mine.  All I know is I have to continue looking forward and not back.  I know it is easier said than doing.  Trust me when I say it is a process.  Look none of us are perfect but we try.  God grants us a blessing  everyday we have another chance to get it right.  I am not preaching please don't take it that way.  This is my truth.  Sometimes when things happen we are more open to understanding.  I guess I will stop now.  Praying everyone has a great holiday and we all keep our weight under control.  Love you all Dee aka pokie123

Hello OH Family,

I am finally able to add a post.  The last time that I posted I stated that I was having problems in my pregnancy.  Well I went into early  labor and my son died.  It has almost been 3 months.  I have good and bad days.  I pray my strength in the lord.  I think of you guys always.  My weight is doing pretty good.  I only gained 5 lbs while pregnant and that is gone.  Thanks to all my prayer warrriors on here.

Welcome to all the new members here.  And I know all my friends here are doing good.  Be blessed

My Story

Hello,

My story starts as I am tired of being overweight and I want my  life back..  I will start this journey next month by taking the first step in going to the orientation class.   I have been overweight since I was 19yrs old.  I don't know what happened.  Now It is awful.  I am 5''11'' and I weigh 346 pounds.  I can't stand this.  I want my life back and I want to be healthy.  I will document my Journey.  Hope to hear from people that have been through what I am about to go through.  Hope to hear from people that have chp as there insurance and how the process worked for them from beginning to end.
