Surgeon Testimonial

Brian Gluck, D.O.
This man is the most down to earth doctor I have ever met. He always shakes my hand and looks me right in the eye. I trust him fully. He was wonderful in the hospital and the office. His staff is very friendly and informed. Their program is very organized and easy to follow. I feel well taken care of. All of my questions before and after have been answered. I don't regret choosing this office or this procedure at all. I am thankful for this opportunity they gave me.

Well, I've been distracted lately.  I don't intend to have ignored anyone.  It has been a busy time in my life.  I don't spend the hours here like I did.  I am so thankful for this site getting me through the waiting. I feel so good.  I prefer being outside and going all the time.  I've moved on to some foods, but I have to remind myself all the time to slow down.  Me and Mr Toilet see each other too much if I don't.  I have lost 39 lbs.  OMG !! I went back to work today and everyone was amazed. I feel like I am on display.  It is a little uncomfortable.   I still don't see it.  I am trying to take pictures often.  I will get some loaded soon. Have a good weekend.

Everything is going good.  I'm really ready to move on to solid proteins on Wednesday.  Still a little afraid to eat.  I am getting in all my liquid protein.  My husband is acting a lot better.  He noticed my boobs and butt are smaller.  We had a great weekend.  I'm down 35 lbs. Yay me ! I have to wear my binder if I do something strenuous.  The muscle under one of my incisions is taking a long time to heal.  Other than that I am very pleased with this decision and the whole procedure.

So,  I feel pretty good.  Still kind of tired and sore on the left side.  I am morning food.  I've realized when I'm bored, I eat.  I've been bored a lot lately.  I'm a little sad.  I've been focusing on surgery for so long, I don't know what to think about now.  My family all seems so proud of me, but not my hubby.  He doesn't even act like anything special happened.  What a butthead. Oh well, I've got a whole new life ahead of me.  I just hope he's on board.
