Surgeon Testimonial

Anthony M. Gonzalez, MD
Dr. Gonzalez was reccommended to me by a co-worker and he turned out to be a wonderful surgeon. His confindence, knowledge and experience made me feel more at ease. I knew I was in good hands. He was straight forward about the risks and his track record. I have had no complications, I healed so well and I feel wonderful! So far, I would do it all over again. I have started a new life, thanks to Dr. Gonzalez and his support team. He has a very busy pratice so it was not a touchy-feely experience-but I knew that I could contact the doctor or one of his two partners and get the information or help that I needed. It is also good to know that my progress and health will be monitored and that I have a support group that I can attend. Dr. Gonzalez's surgical competence far outweighs his bedside manner-but his bedside manner was not bad at all. He made me laugh. I give him two thumbs up!

10th month Update
Today was my 10th month checkup with my GBS doctor. He told me that my blood work was really good in every aspect including Iron, protein, nutrition and hydration. I weigh 204. I have lost 93 pounds. 5 pounds from being in onederland and 7 pounds from "100 lbs" lost (the century club)! I thought I was such a slow loser but he assured me that I'm doing excellent. I am in a size 14, but everyone always think I'm a 12. I still have a hernia which he says I can get repaired at 18 months post-op :-( But the good news is I get a tummy tuck at the same time. I want to lose an additional 30 to 40 pounds. I'm at the point where I'm afraid to tell people that because they frown and say that is too much and that all I need is maybe 10 more pounds and a tummy tuck if I want. So I just say "I'll let my body decide when and where it wants to stop". I still take all my vitamins (multi, 2 slow release iron, fiber plus, b12, calcium citrate+D,hair, skin and nails, & co Q-10), drink plenty fliuds, and get to the gym at least twice a week (i'm trying to get to the gym more often or at least excercise at home). I'm grateful for WLS.
