Surgeon Testimonial

Kenneth M.R. Warnock M.D.
Dr. Warnock was very sweet. He made my husband and I very comfortable. I know there is a reason for everything that happens and Lord I trust you know best! Dr. Warnock explained the procedure and why and where everything would be. He talked about risks and outcomes and told me I have to do my part! He is fantastic and I look forward to getting to know him better through this journey. The only thing I did not like was that we were waiting to see him for an hour after my appointment time, but this doc is certainly worth the wait

    You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you have your WLS this week. Know that you are in the very best hands with Dr Warnock as I was 4 years ago. You are about to be seated on the loser's bench now and it's a great view from this side! Best of luck to you!

I a so excited about beginning this journey, but have had two postponements for surgery. I am excited, frustrated, scared, jubilant, and IMPATIENT!!! I have waited my whole life, been grounded by my mother as a child until I would" lose xx-amount" of pounds and so many other mental and emotional tortures that only compounded the inadequacies I already felt.  I am now standing on the edge of success ready to take the plunge of opportunity and feel the wind of change blowing through my hair and around my body melting the fat off and molding my body into what God meant it to be. I am ready to be free!

THE JOURNEY INTO ME.....
on June 15, 2008 6:47 pm
SOMETIMES I LOSE SIGHT OF MYSELF AND FEEL LIKE I AM LIVING MY FIRST FEW MINUTES OF LIFE ALL OVER. THEN I BECOME OVERWHELMED WITH ALL THE BAD THINGS IN THIS WORLD, ALMOST NEUROTIC LIKE WORRYING IF DR. WARNOCK WILL FIND A WIERD CANCER WHEN I HAVE SURGERY! I HAVE BEEN WAITING SOO LONG FOR SURGERY , BUT YET I AM PETRIFIED!

Well, Dr. Crum was denied a license in Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I went to Dr. Warnock in Wichita Falls and I loved him!!!! I have to lose 35 lbs. to prepare for surgery, but at least there is an end in sight!

Well, here we are at Wednesday again and I am starting to work on low-fat low-cal again. i was so frustrated and discouraged for a while, that I did whatever I wanted to. I felt guilty after, before and during eating, but now I am back on the wagon! GO ME!

My Story

I STARTED NOTICING I WAS FATTER THAN THE OTHER KIDS AT ABOUT AGE SIX. MY PARENTS HAD DIVORCED, AND SHE HAD REMARRIED. THE ABUSE, (EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL) BEGAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. IN SECOND GRADE I WEIGHED82 POUNDS. IN FOURTH GRADE I WEIGHED 102. I WAS WEARING MY MOTHERS CLOTHES BY THEN AND WAS BEING PUNISHED FOR THE WEIGHT GAIN. MY STEP DAD HATED FAT GIRLS AND IF IT WOULD MAKE HIM LEAVE ME ALONE I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH IT. I FINALLY MADE IT KNOWN TO MY MOTHER THAT HE WAS DOING STUFF,BUT I THINK SHE KNEW ALREADY BUT DIDN'T WANT TO BE ALONE. THEY DIVORCED FOR THE SECOND TIME MY FIFTH GRADE YEAR, AND SHE REMARRIED AGAIN THE NEXT YEAR TO A GREAT GUY, BUT I WAS ALREADY LEARY IF MEN AND JUST CONTINUED TO EAT. I WEIGHED 199 ON THE LAST DAY OF MY EIGHTH GRADE YEAR. I WEIGHED 235 ON MY FIRST WEDDING DAY WHEN I WAS 18. I WEIGHED 287 AT THE BIRTH OF MY FIRST CHILD AT AGE 22. I LOST 60 LBS. THEN GOT PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND CHILD. AT HIS BIRTH I WEIGHED 290 AT AGE 24. OVER THE YEARS I YO-YO'D AND NOW I WEIGH ABOUT 340, AT AGE 34.5. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE TO BE A TEAM MOM, WITHOUT THINKING "DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO PLAY IN THE BACK FIELD?" BECAUSE IT HURTS ME TO WALK!
