Surgeon Testimonial

Jeffrey A. Hunter
I liked his answers at the WLS Seminar. I asked why he is interested in Bariatrics, his answer: (I) saw my Mother-in-Law suffer for years with health issues related to obesity, so it became personal.

The time involved getting a date was difficult to deal with, but that is my issue. I am a "hurry-up and wait" type of person, so coming into his office with most of my "steps" already done, threw the usual rhythm of things done in preparation.

Finally getting a surgical date, I offered to start a full fast, he told me not to. "We want you healthy and stroing before surgery, now is the time to start taking in more proteins & looking closely at nutrients..." He made me feel valued, I lost 40 pounds to get to the BMI he wanted before setting a surgical date.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I had struggled my entire life, since grade school, so it took a deep look into my soul to come to the decision that I could NOT lose the weight on my own. Before coming to grips, I saw my considering surgery my own failure, but now I realize the failure was only in my emotions. Surgery is a tool, what you do with your tool dictates your success. I am still working on my success story, but now I have hope.

Happiness is Shopping at Non-Fat Clothing Stores!
posted on 7/25/12 11:36 am
I was laughing as I was writing my friends here on OH -- which is a wonderful time for me to reflect on my journey.   That's when I said to someone, "I really love shopping at Non-Fat stores," making a reference to Lame Giant... Lane Bryant, if you didn't get the jab!  Clothing is so much cheaper when you are closer to the "normal" sizes!  I bought 15 items at one store for under !!!  Old Navy I spent for 6 tops, 4 camis, a pair of sleep pants!!!  My new Brenda-ism since the last Brenda-ism: Non-Fat Stores!

Clean out your closets!!!  Start watching for sales!  Start looking at the Non-Fat Stores!!!  You will have more fun then when you were in High School, I promise!!!

Am I too old to wear this?  Who cares!  I feel FABULOUS!
Stay Positive!
