Surgeon Testimonial

Edward Phillips, M.D.
I didn't get to meet my doctor until after all of the test were completed. I met with his fellow who was very knowledgeable and I felt like I got all of the information I needed. When I finally met Dr. Phillips, he spent his time speaking to me and thoroughly going over everything with me. He suggested that I change my plan from lap band to rny, which I did. I feel and from the beginning have felt that Dr. Phillips is everything I want in a surgeon. The staff in his office is really great. I had no problems getting through to them and I felt like they cared about me. They also recommended and have followed up with me post op.rnAs far as insurance goes, Dr. Phillips is out of network for all insurance, so I paid a bit extra out of pocket. I feel like it was worth it to have the best.rnrn

16 Weeks and going strong
on February 17, 2009 10:39 pm
Things are going well.  I am noticing that I can eat much more than before and also a much larger variety.  There are times that I am very interested in food and that makes me a little nervous, but them six hours passes and I still don't want to eat.   There isn't really much rhyme or reason.  

I am working out three times a week at Coach Sam's, but I had the flu and just went back yesterday after a two week break. 

I do not tolerate bad situations very well, I guess I was never very good and keeping my mouth shut, but now without eating things that I want to sensor come flying out of my mouth.  

Sebastian and I are getting along really well and our sex life has improved so much.  It is amazing, I can breathe when we have sex again. What a difference.

I went clothes shopping and I fit into a lot of stuff at Macy's which was really nice.  The tops were still mostly too small, but I got some designer jeans.  They are snug and the largest size in the store but they are major brands in girl (not men's sizes.)

12 Week Update
on January 24, 2009 4:44 pm
I am doing really well.  No major complaints.  I went to the support group ad I am going to make a few changes.  I am going to eat two protein shakes a day and try to exercise harder and more frequently.  I also had my 3 month blookd work and am a little low on Vitamin D.  I got a new calcium sup that has Vitamin D that i think I can take more regularly.

7 weeks Post op

I am becoming more adventurous with food.  Makes me a little nervous and my weight loss has slowed down a little.  I am not eating a lot at all, but I am eating now.  So for dinner yesterday, I had one meatball and 1.2 serving veg at mall from Sbarro.   I think I am doing pretty well.  I just would like to have the drastic weight loss I saw while I was on liquids.  I know it is not realistic, but a kid can hope.
I am going to start exercising more drastically.  So far I have been going for longer times at a slower pace.  after my meeting with the doctor, I am going to be more intense a for shorter period of time.

Don't want to eat
on November 22, 2008 9:23 am
 I am doing alright.  I feel hungry sometimes, but almost anything I eat makes me a little sick.  I think I do best sticking to things that I make at home very simple.  Smashed veggies with salt and pepper, protein shakes and lots of water.  I am struggling with the no liquid while you eat.  I feel like the only thing I can really enjoy that is more substantial is soup.  I am pleased with my weight loss, but as we all know it is never enough.
My husband and I are going to a wedding tonight and I tried on my dress yesterday and he was stunned.  Only 20 lbs. down and he said I look hot.  
I can't wait to feel more healthy and have more energy.
