Surgeon Testimonial

Joao Marchesini, M.D.
I was very pleased with the quality of care that I received from this man. Dr. M met me at the hotel when I arrived in Curitiba. I had access to his cell phone in case I needed to call him for any reason. The care that I received in Curitiba was the best that I have received anywhere.

5 Months Ago Today
on March 24, 2007 11:36 am
Wow! Has it been that long already?!?!?!?!? It seems like just yesterday that I went into the operating room in Brazil to have this life changing surgery. 5 Months.....simply amazing. Well, I feel fantastic other than some emotional things going on right now. I'm eating better everyday. Of course I still have days when I have to force myself to eat, because I am just not that hungry anymore. And I can't believe how the weight has just been falling off other than a few plateaus over the months, which included one that lasted about a week and a half during this last month. I almost started getting worried, but had to remind myself that this too would pass (pun intended).

Anyway, here are the totals for the month. I have lost 13 pounds this month. My total amount lost since surgery is 84 pounds and from my highest weight.... 125 pounds.  I have lost a complete person.  It's just amazing to me.  I look at that picture of me at my highest weight and I am just so blown over by how different I look and feel now.

This surgery has truly changed my life for the better so far and I know it's only going to get better as I continue to lose the remainder of my excess weight.

STILL LOVING MY DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
