Surgeon Testimonial

Wade Nazari, M.D.
I want to say in my opinion Dr. Naziri is the best surgeon. I am very pleased. I have had no complications and feel like if I ever do, he will be there for me. everyone in the office seems to care. I can honestly say that I have no complaints about Dr. Naziri or any of the staff.

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

Week 14
on March 26, 2008 5:36 am
I didn't post anything week 13.  I weighed in at 249.  I went for my 3 mo post op visit.  It went pretty good.  I weighed in this morning for the 14 weeks.  I weighed 246.  I have lost 60 pounds.  And believe it or not, I still look in the mirror and see the 306 lb Stacy.  I honestly see my body the same way I did before.  But, all of my pants are really big.  I used to wear my size 28 pants just half way zipped up, b/c they were so tight I couldn't breath when I sat down.  Now I can pull them up all the way to my chest.  It is a good feeling, but it sucks b/c my car broke down last week.  That was almost $500 that I hadn't planned on, so it really set me back big time.  It will be a couple of weeks before I can buy some new pants.  I had bought a couple of size 26, they are getting too big too.  I can probably wear a size 24.  I am going to try the consignment shop.  I know before I have never been able to find anything in my size, but maybe I can now.  I hadn't been to the gym in a few weeks.  I went Monday and Tuesday.  I actually ran a little on the tread mill.  It wasn't too bad.  There was no one there but me.  I really liked it.  I can't believe that I am getting close to the 200 mark.  It is unreal to me.  I never thought I would lose 60 pounds in 3 1/2 months.  I am sure that I would be losing a lot more if I worked out like I should.  I also have gotten myself in the habit of snacking before bed.  I ran out of sugar free popsicles, so I have been grazing.  I have to stop that.  I will never let myself get in the shape I was in before.  Oh, also had another normal menstal cycle.  That is months in a row.  My ultimate goal is to be able to have a baby, so.....maybe I am heading in the right direction.  I am going to get some type of birth control, b/c I want to lose some more weight and enjoy myself for a little while.  My surgeon said I need to wait atleast 18 months.  Hello...I am getting old here!  hahaha  I am going to do what he says though.  I want to be the best mom I can be and make sure I do everything in my power to have a healthy baby.

Week 12

I weigh 251!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I have lost 55 pounds in 3 months.  I am very satisfied, especially since I didn't work out any this week.   That, I am not proud of, but I have had a lot going on.  I found these South Beach Diet meals and wraps.  They are good and have so much protein and fiber.  They are my new bff.  hahaha  I still don't get my water in and maybe remember to take 1 vitamin a day.  I just feel that I am so busy all the time.  At work I am on the go from the time I walk in until the time I leave and when I leave, I have a million things on my mind that I did not get to do.  Oh well.  I just thank God that I have a job and had my insurance to cover my surgery.  I am a little sad, b/c I didn't have a menstral cycle this month.  That is the one thing that hasn't got normal yet.  I had one last month, but nothing this month.  Maybe next month.

Week 11

I can't believe it, I have lost 50 pounds.  I was thinking that I am at 12 weeks, but I am only 11 weeks out.  I am down from 306 (morning of surgery) to 256.  I still feel like I am 306.  I used to hear people complain about weighing 250, I was like, I would love to weigh that.  I see the number and realize that I am where a lot of people are.  Before I felt like no one was as heavy as me.  I felt like a freak or gross monster.  I can't wait until I get under 200.  It is unreal to me when I remember that at one time I weighed 346 pounds.  So actually I have lost 90 pounds since my heaviest.  I bought some really pretty scrubs the other day.  I went from a size 4x pants to a 2x.  I went from a 5x shirt to a 3x.  I am so happy for me.
