Surgeon Testimonial Brenda Cacucci, M.D. I really like Dr. Cacucci. She is kind of quiet but very personable at the same time. She has a big smile every time I see her and always very nice and friendly just in a quiet way. Everyone in her office is great, especially Heather when I was getting everything scheduled and so forth. They always call you back and answer any questions you have. She was great in the initial consult explaining everything from risks/benefits to complications, etc and seemed very knowledgeable. I was confident having her perform my surgery. The surgery only took about 1hr and she must have done a great job because I have not had any surgery problems so far. When I was in the hospital and my drain was causing pain she figured out the culprit quickly and easily, removed the drain and the pain was gone. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great bariatric surgeon. Latest Surgery Support Comments

3yrs Post Op
Oh my i can't believe I have not blogged in 6 months. That should tell you something, LOL. Whenever people avoid updates it's usually bad news! That's the case for me. I tell you what, this year has been a real struggle for me with my weight. I am currently up to 138-140 and I hate it but I am trying not to get too down about it. At 3yrs post op I am still at a healthy weight and in a size 4/6 jeans. I want to get back where I was and I believe I will but it is really very hard at this stage. I have had a lot going on this year and it has really affected my weight. I am an emotional eater and always will be I guess but I need to learn to manage it better. When I blogged at 2.5yrs I didn't mention some of the struggles I had been through because i was trying to avoid the topic and work through them. The truth is my husband and I split up in Nov last year. We got back together around New Year's and that is when my weight started creeping up. I'm not blaming him, I don't understand the exact reasons but the coincedence is too big to ignore. I have struggled ever since we got back together losing and regaining the same 10lbs. Well we finally decided it was not going to work after nine more months of trying and our divorce ws final last Wednesday so I am hoping I can get happy and lose this weight. Here I am three years post op with a completely different life. I know it's so cliche to be divorced now. I don't blame the surgery like a lot of people want to do. The truth is I don't think I changed from who I truly am, I am back to who I used to be....the problem in part was that the (fat) person that my husband married was not the true me. I am ready to find myself again, focus on me and my daughter and just be happy. I am not concerned with finding a man ANY time soon. I can't wait to date and live it up though! And let me tell you at 3yrs post op I can drink with no problem too, LOL but I know I gotta watch that ;) So anyway that is my update. I wll be moving out of the house the end of the month (yes we are divorced and still living together) when my apt is ready and hopefully be updating you all of my lost poundage very soon....I will be back in those tight jeans again :) Later all! 0 Comment(s)
