Surgeon Testimonial

Anthony Davis
Dr. Anthony Davis is a great surgeon. He communicates with you all the info upfront and he does well at the surgery. I had not problems. He will sit down and answer your questions and concerns. He will tell you truth all the time and he is very upfront and honest with you. However he doesnt listen to second opinions of others and he sometimes disregards how you feel about your fills. He will fill you if he and only if he believes or thinks your need it. Which to say is hard to convince him at some points.

New Beginning With a LIL Addition
on April 12, 2012 1:36 pm
Well on Easter 4/8/2012 I had a beautiful baby girl. I named her Azalea. She weighed 7lbs 14oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is amazing. Day of Delivery I weighed 215lbs. I have no idea what I weight yet. I hope that im down atleast that 15lbs. I will take some post baby pics to start my process all over again. I have big goals for this year. As soon as I am able im going to work out and work out very hard. I am breast feeding so that should help with some calories. Its hard to move around to much so Im trying hard to just not eat to much.
I hope to lose a lot in the next few months. Wish me luck!

For now Ill just cherish my lil girl.... and know that the weight I gained was sure worth it!

Time for a blog!!
on February 9, 2011 11:51 am
So I havent posted anything in a little bit. I have let my life get out of control. In general just my life. Today I woke up determined to change my life and get back on track. Me and my boyfriend broke up yesterday, ya it hurt bad and it hurts today still, but .... when it comes down to it, he didnt really treat me great. He didnt really deserve me. Sure I think well will I meet someone better? Oh well it is what it is, What it is, is.... over! He used me for my money and my car and well me. He spent money i didnt have and now my bills are behind. How did i let a guy come in and turn my life upside down. I stopped working out, thank god i still lost weight without working out, without eating right. I did eat small though. I let my work fall behind not following my ethics. I am ashamed of me. ... But today is another day, its time to take charge of my life again.  Time to let him walk away if thats what he wants. chose another girl over me! Well she can have him. Truth is... best revenge i can have is to let her keep him, cause a REAL MAN cant be stolen. Its time for me to have my life. God knows more than I do, Im sure all this pain will be worth the blessing I get in the end. I am going to get back on track. Im taking this week to plan and chill and heal from my heart being hurt. So I can start full force on my life again.
I have to get myself out of this... no more bad men. no more hopeless cases, or works in progress. I date only full functioning men now. I will work hard at work and with myself for me and my goals. I will look damn HOTT  by summer. I wont do this anymore! I will be strong and confident and I wont let you hurt me, I wont let me hurt me for you.

Bring on My Life

I am satisfied! I was depressed yesterday, I ordered pizza all by myself. I had one slice. I was full at one slice. Heck yes!! All I can say is everything else may not be just "dandy" this year on all shelves, but this is going great so far this year. Got keep my head in the game dont eat my feelings and measure my food.

Got a Fill
on January 12, 2011 9:27 am
So im at 10cc now. Thats a lot I guess for the 1st year. But im stoked. He didnt really wana give it to me but i demanded it, i didnt think i would get as much of a fill as I did. But deffinetly excited. My boyfriend took me and went into the appointments with me. Kinda weird for me but he thought it was interesting. He kept making comments that I had been shot with a lawn dart. Pretty funny! Well Im a few pounds from my mini goal. I am hoping to meet that fast. I hate the diet after a fill, I am sooo starving. Oh well, you get what you get. That is a lot of liquid in my band and for the first time im a little nervous about eating normal food and how that goes.. Guess Ill have to pay very close attention. I hope this is my sweet spot and I will be getting where I need to and want to... im prettty positive about this one..

My Story

Hi, My name is Sharon. I didnt write my story when I first signed up so I suppose better late then never.

I was super thin weighing about 110lbs until my 18th year. I gained over a 100lbs in 6 months. There was no change in diet or exercise I have always been a very active person. No one could understand why that had happend. I started with my Dr. and test. At that time I had no problems with my health. No thyroid problems, no insulin problems and so on. Next was a nutrionist and a personal trainer, thousand dollars down the drain and only weight stability or weight gain. I tried multiple dr's all with the same answer that nothing was wrong. However something was wrong, i gained a substantial amount of weight in a very short amout of time. Everyone told me nothing was wrong.
After no help from any professional I tried diet after diet and diet pill after diet pill. I spent hours at the gym and  miserably getting no where. I would lose 20 lbs and gain 30. I changed. With the weight the things I loved to do that made me, well me i hated. I hated shopping, i hated clothes even. I hated dancing and going swimming and going to the lake. All i could think what was everyone must be thinking. Look at that fat girl....... and I knew it was true.. I hated who i saw in the mirror.. I was fixed on this horrible thing. I looked at my reflection on windows and mirrors all the time... how fat could i possibly get.. How could this happend to me? Why is this happening to me? God please help me? I hate me! Thats what I thought every minute of everyday. I thought of nothing else, every relationship in my life suffered.
In 2005 I got diagnosed with insulin resistance started taking glucaphage and I had gone from 250 to 200 using phentromine, diet and exercise. This was temporary as soon as the phentomine stopped working I started gaining again. So i worked out harder and more often. Nothing stopped it. I got married in 2007 and by 2009 i was 265lbs and so unhappy with myself , my life and everything suffered. I gave up school and just worked and worked out. Nothing happend, the weight didnt budge and neither did my attitude for my life.
Feb 2010 a friend of mine got lapband surgery. She invited me to attend a seminar with her. I didnt think anything like that could happen for me but I still went. The seminar ended and I wanted it... my husband had gone with me and he could tell the hope I had.. I wanted THIS...
I made my first appt... a month later everything was completed and I was ready for surgery....



update dec 2010
July 2010 I found out my spouse was cheating on me and I left- this was so very hard for me to do.. but I couldnt live like that.. Everyday it was a reminder of how I wasent good enough and hurt my self esteem
sept 2010 I moved back to my home state to start my life over. Hoping that I would find some happiness, peace and get my butt in gear. No better revenge but to be me again and he missed out.......
Dec 2010- not losing the way I want but trying very hard.. I can do this... but im stuck just like i was before surgery! I feel like im stuck like this forever and no matter what it will never change. I feel like Im in circle- I workout all the time I eat right, I have a band - i dont have the weight loss--- STUCK
