Surgeon Testimonial

Joseph C Moran
My first impression of him is he is a handsome dude. He did not look like what i would figure a obesity Surgeon to look like someone old you know lol with gray hair and all lol.. But he was very young and polite. Over time it just became a thought of well he seems to be about his business and knows what he speaks. His office staff was great. They are very attentive and always listening and taking notes on all you tell them to give you the best service. I am just getting started with him so the rest of this info will have to wait as we go along towards getting the surgery done.

wanting ps cant afford ps.
on February 19, 2012 2:51 pm
Well, i have been wanting my ps for about a two years now, i was working untill feb 2011. And when i was working and had not become a mother got prego oct 2010 had baby july 2011. I could have had the ps done. I had the money in my retirement to do it with. andi could have went out of the country (mexico) to get it done. But i kept putting it off due to what people would say when i had the plastic surgery done. I was feeling ashamed for wanting to be my best. to look my best. i was feeling as if i was being very vain and should be happy with how i looked currently. I would look at clothes and pants and just feel bad. Phrases like these kept creeping up in my mind. " I am only in a size 14 cause of the over hang of skin and residual fat that was left. I am only in an 1x or xl or 2x due to the fact that i dont like my shirts to cling and show my fat rolls and left over skin. I was happy but sad at the same time. i wanted to be sexier.. I wanted to rock high heels on court days and show off a new trim curvy physique. I wanted fat grafting to my derrier due to i lost it all when i had the wls. And i wanted to be able to show it off. Is this wrong of me wanting to finally feel pretty and beautiful something i didnt feel all through out highschool and college? The regret of being able to do the ps and not getting it done when i had the money ( had to use retirment to live off and for medical for baby untill she got here.) Any Suggestions? Open to constructive criticism.

LIFE UPDATE
on January 2, 2011 4:02 pm
Hello OH,

Its been ages since i have been on my page on here and have been posting and active. Life has become very busy. Ifound out on veterans day 2010 that i was Pregnant. Unbelieveable due to when i was 19 i was told i woudl never have kids because of PCOS.  well here i am at about 14 weeks along now just not believing the blessing bestowed upon me. It was a crazy story that i laugh about when i tell my friends. I am scared now due to all the financial things that come along with having a baby. I just pray that God will guide and direct me throughthis.

7 months out
on March 2, 2009 2:59 pm
Well, lets see, so far i have lost 102 lbs.  I started at 320 now im down to 218. I had somemoments i was kinda upping my carbs and such.. because i had lost so much. i started to feel way to skinny. (if that is an option lol) but i was really comfortable at 220. on my body. medically i am suppsed to be no larger than 180.. but that has to be on someone that is shorter than my 5ft 9 inches. cause on me... 218 looks sexy and great( but here is the kicker) i have about 10 to 15 lbs of extra skin. My tummy keeps me buying size 18's but i would be in a size 12/14 ( i have tried various jeans and pants. and the excess skin keeps me from buttoning them. but when i move the skin out of the way( push it up) Voila!!! the 14's and some size 12's fit great!. OH to the ladies. the Kymaro body shaper.. ( this thing rocks like you would not belive. ok it hides the bulges from excess skin that shiver and quiver when you walk.. you know. And make your outfits look way better.

Side note. I have never seen my figure in my life. i have spent hours laying naked in my bed on my sides.. feeing my body( i know it may sound a little lewd gross what ever) but its amazing. i realize i have one hell of an indention between my ribs and my pelvis. (aka great flare out of hips) but i haev to get some more padding for my tush.. ( does anyone else tush hurts after sitting on hard chairs for a few minutes) Well i know i have not been on this site in ages and that is my fault. i hate that i dont have any pics posted of my weight loss but i am kinda coming in to things that look good on me and such. plus i need a few disposable camera's and some nice areas to take pictures at lol..And its really cold here now and snowing. we got 3 to 5 inches of snow last night.. brrrr!

on August 26, 2008 9:04 am
Ok  i am sitting here and i cant seem to get myself moving to exercise. i am having trouble getting started like something is blocking me from doing it. the desire the drive to do it or something. the most time i get to walking is when i have to drive some where and go buy something. ( i .e shopping) there is a mall right around the corner from me and i may go there and go walking. not for sure. help any advice would be beneficial. thanks.

I have a date!!!!
on July 9, 2008 7:18 pm



I have a date!  i called my doctor's office ( Dr. Moran!) and spoke with MIss Anne at the office. I stated to her that i belive i have completed all the specialist visits that i needed to do so that my information could be submitted to my insurance bcbs of north carolina. She stated that she would pull my file and research it and get back with me. 
     Not even 20 minutes later she calls me back and tells me that everything is completed and she needs to get a surgery date for me.  the date she gave me was July 23 ( which is the 1 year anniversary of the day i started my job i am at now). I was like well that is kinda soon( i know i know i been waiting for ever to get here now it looks like im running away. ) I stated to Miss Anne that i wanted to get a nother paycheck under my belt before i went in for surgery. ( so that i can get all the stuff i needed to kick off this surgery aka grocery shopping if you will by the way if anyone knows of a good liquid protein different flavors or any thing drop me an email on here thanks!) calcium pills, iron pills, you know all the stuff to start off the liquid diet. the low sodium chicken broth ( or sodium free if there is any)  so we decided on August 13! ( surgery date is 14th actually) I am so excited and so nervous. ( the catheder thingy scares meto no end. i was freaking on this part. )
