Surgeon Testimonial

Ki Hyun Oh M.D.
I first met Dr. Oh at the informational seminar. I thought that he was very intelligent & quite funny. He gave us all 5 options of WLS. I chose to have Lap-band. He takes the whole process very seriously. From pre testing to following up... he wants me to be successful. His office is very busy, and getting ahold of them via the phone is the biggest down-side.rnrnI'll answer more once I've had the surgery.

Half Way to Goal :)
on November 15, 2008 3:11 am
Today, I passed the half way mark!!  I'm down 109 pounds... and 106 more to lose to get to goal!!  I was banded 4 months ago.  I am in awe of how smoothly things are going.  I have not had a fill yet, I'm not sure if I will get one next week when I go & check in the with the surgeons.  Part of me thinks that it could be helpful.. as I am starting to get hungry sooner now than I was originally.  But, I'm still losing a good pace, so why fix what isn't broke??  Ya know?  I like that no foods have given me trouble since being banded, no sliming, no PBs... the only little learning curve glitch I've had, was when I wait to eat until I'm really hungry, that I can eat too fast & eat a couple of bites too much.  It's fine tuning, listening to my body.  It had been a very long time since I really listened to my body.

I wanted to thank everyone for your continued support... I know I would not have been half as successful without this site & all of the lovely people here.  Thank you!!

*hugs*

Ooops! I forgot to blog about -100
on November 1, 2008 4:10 am
It took me 3 months & 1 weeks to hit the Cnetury Mark!!!   Then, this last week, it's been Nothing... a goose egg.  I kinda think it could be physical (my body just exhaling... trying to catch up with itself) and part mental (I weighed 290 for years... maybe it'll plateau there because it's a "comfortable" weight.)
Anyway.. after 7 long days, I'm happy that I'm finally over that hump.  -2, so I'm almost half way to goal!!!  My next few milestones:

-1    I've lost Taylor  (My best friend's 12 year old daughter)
-3  I've lost my LAST daycare kid!!!  Yeah Me!!
-5.5    Half way to goal!!!!

I can get to these... and many many more!   I think I'll have to sit down & make a few more goals, because after those that are listed... it's a long way to any other goals.

Ok.. I'm heading out.  Thank you for letting me share.
*hugs*
