Surgeon Testimonial

Leslie McClellan, M.D.
I went to a seminar and that was my first impression of Dr. McClellan, and some of her staff and I was very inpressed, they know their stuff, I had my first visit in the office with Dr.McClellan and she is very nice and tells you everything you need to know and takes her time with you and my daughter went with me to the visit and the dr. included her in the visit as well. the staff was great and I felt like I had been going to see them all for ever, so at this point I would tell anyone looking for a surgeon she is the one. rn

I am back
on March 6, 2013 11:43 am

Well it has been 5 years 4 months since my surgery, my lowest weight was 168, Jeans 6/8 I could not believe  i had lost that much weight, but here I am 5 years later, and have gained 63 lbscool I ask myself why in the world did I let this happen, I know that I have a food addiction, or I would have not gained weight in the first place, now I have to lose it, so on Monday March 4,2013 I went of solid food, and taking only meal replacements and Protein drink , it must be doing something, I have lost 4 lbs. now I have 59 lbs to go, I am going to do this if it kills me, Yesterday was a bad day for me, course it could be because I had the boys to take care of . and they do get on my last nerve, but they are only 2 and 6, and were stuck in the house because of the snow storm we had yesterday. Now today I do not have kids, and doing just fine. I will make this. I just need to keep my demons at bay, I do love food, mostly carbs. and sweets, after this week is over, there will not be any of them for me again. I have to lose this weight before summer,

Three years later

Hello friends
     It was three years yesterday that my life was changed, I am so happy that I had my surgery, the only thing I would have changed is I wish I had had it sooner.

I have gained some of the weight back, I was once 169lbs, today I am at 202, My god I never wanted to see 200's but before you know it, it was back.

 I did get up to 211lbs, this made me sick. I did the 3 day pouch test this was hard as I did it over the weekend, with two parties to be at with all the foods I love, I did good,   lost 3 lbs in 5 days . I guess this was better then gaining.

This is a surgery that I will have to remember that I still have to control what I but into my mouth and how much. the funny thing is that when I eat too much food I do not feel good. I know this but still can not stop.
Well last week I took back control of my body and what I am putting into it.

Well I will wish everyone a happy day and thanks for reading. I am going to try to keep up with what is going on in my life as I take the pounds off yet again.
I will not say this is forever because forever is a very long time and anything can happen.

A hard time, I have gained weight, I can eat sugar, which is my down fall, I had the rny so that I could not eat sugar not to eat it, that sucks, I have gained 28 lbs from my lowest, I need to get this under control and soon, I work a lot of hours, so for a fast and easy dinner we eat out or fast food, I am eating too much junk at work, now that I am doing more office work so I am sitting more then when I first started, I am taking on line classes for my associate degree  in health care, we did get a pool up and doing some movement in it but not too much help if I am eating too much,

my goal of losing 200 lbs Yea I am so happy today , Today my weight is 173 , 2 lbs below what I was shooting for, so from now I will take it as it comes, I am happy with what I have done, any more weight off will just be the frosting on the cake ,
Today I  am 17 months out and everything is going great, I go for my 18 months blood test in a few weeks but sure every thing is going good as I feel great,
I should be hearing from the INS. comp in a few day if they will pay  for my arms to be done, I sure hope they say YES,
I don't know what I will do if they say NO.
my pants size is down from a 3x stretch to a 12 jeans non stretch, and shirts are a Sm or med, from a 3 x,
Yes I love my RNY and would do it all over again,
My only regret is that I waited so long to have it done.
