Surgeon Testimonial

Matthew D. Davidson, M.D
He's really cool down to earth and a lot cuter in person then in his picture online. He explained everything in detail and his expectations of the surgery and what my expectiations were to be. He didn't hesitate to answer any questions that I had for him and he said that it would be ok to give him a call if I had any questions later.

Fill
on June 25, 2008 8:19 am
Well I seen Dr. Davidson This morning and he inserted 2cc's into my band.  I drank some water while still at the office to make sure that I was ok and I was but then on my way to work I got nauseated so this fill has got me feeling a little funny. I already advised my supervisor of the situation and that I may leave early today if I continue to feel like this.
I'm glad to have the fill though cause I wasn't feeling as though I had much restriction.  I haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks but according to their scale I had lost 2.4 lbs since my last doc. appt.  I've started hitting the gym so the gym in combination with the new fill I am very optimistic that this will help me to restart my weight loss battle.  I had hopes of being under 220 by my 25th birthday Sat and I really feel as though I might not reach that goal, I hope to and I'll try my hardest but I dont feel as though I am going to make it.

Frustrated
on June 19, 2008 11:34 am
Ok so i weighed myself this past monday and i'm only down 20lbs from the morning of surgery.  I can feel that i have limited to almost no restriction. I go for my 1st fill on wed 6/25 and i cant wait. 
So far i havent thrown up but i have had episodes where i was really uncomfortable and wanted to throw up.
I cant even really be mad that i havent lost more even though i have been watching what i eat i haven't been working out. I started a new part time job so i'm working 14 hr days and by time i get home i'm too tired to do anything and when i get a day off all i want to do is chill cause again i'm too tired to find the motivation to get my tail up out of the bed.  My 25th birthday is June 28th so i think i'm going to go get myself a gym membership and my mom offered to walk during the nights that i'm not working.
Well i'm tired i think its time to take my energy shot. 
Oh yeah i've been taking these 5 hour energy shots (0 cal) in order to help me get thru the day. I really needed something since i stopped drinking the coffee.

Bored at work & uncomfortable
on June 4, 2008 1:14 pm
Well i'm sitting at work bored, listening to Ellen wanting this day to be over with but i'm far from that considering i still have to go to my part time job when i leave here. 
At lunch I ran to borders and brought Chef G. Gavin's cookbook cause i needed some healthy quick cooking receipes since i  work so much and dont have much time to cook. Needless to say i was at the book store longer then anticipated and just swung by Wendys and got my a baked potato and i dont know if I didnt chew it up enough or what but i'm so uncomfortable right now.  I'm not in any pain but i feel as though it may be stuck, i took a sip of water and that didnt help.  For a moment I thought i felt better and popped my potassium pill but turns out false alarm i still feel uncomfortable and i dont know what to do to stop this feeling.  Damn potato!

3wks 1 day post op
on June 3, 2008 7:49 am
Well I'm 21 days post op and i feel pretty darn good.
My appt last week with the surgery went very well, he said I was ahead of schedule with the weight loss and that in 2 weeks I could return to normal activity. So that means on 6/11 I can start hitting the gym, I have never been so amp'd about wanting to work out.  Its going to be hard, time wise to hit the gym considering I work 7 days a week and on the week days I work 14 hour days but I'll get it in, one way or another.
I'm currently down 17lbs which places me at 227 according to the scale at my house.  My 25th birthday is June 28, and I would like nothing more than for that scale to say 200 but I know that, that is beyond a realistic goal so my realistic goal for that date is 220. 
Well until next time...
