Surgeon Testimonial

L. Steve Weinstein
My first impression was that this Dr. knows his stuff. Everytime he sees you in his office he does not automatically assume that you remember everything so he goes back over everything that was discussed on your last visit. My impression of him has not changed. He wants to make sure that everything goes well with me and this surgery. He has a wonderful and caring staff. There is nothing so far that I don't like about him. He reminds me that he wants me to follow the instuctions that are given to have the best results possible. He does have a structured aftercare program and he make sure you know the risks of this type of surgery. I would give him a 8. I think both surgical competence and bedside manner are very important.

Today is my one year anniversary!!!
posted on 5/24/11 11:48 am
I was trying to decide if I was going to write something about this day or not. Well I finally decided I would.  As of today I have lost 93.2 pounds almost 94.  I am not where I want to be but I am not where I use to be and that is a blessing.  I can play with my children, excercise without getting out of breath(spelling?), walk for long periods of time including climbing stairs and going up hills, and I can see areas I haven't seen in years(HA!!).  I  can wear clothing sizes that I have not worn since high school.  Depending on the style of the clothing I can wear 10's,12's and if cut small 14's.  My feet have went down a half a size(was a 10 wide) to a 91/2 sometimes a 9 depending on the style.  I have went from a size 44DDD to a 38D(and I think I need a smaller size again).  I was a 36B in high school before I got pregnant with my oldest son.  I didn't do any measurements, but I wish I had.  I am told I am skinny I don't see it though.  People think I weigh less than I do.  I am told I look like a 8 or a 10(I wish).  I will have to put some before and during pics on here soon.  I finally go a new(to me) camera and as soon as I get a memory stick for it I can finally post some pictures of myself.  I still have about 39 lbs that I want to loss and that will put me at 150.  I think that I would be comfortable there. I think back to my doctor telling me I was going to have to take BP meds if I don't lose weight or that I was prone to diabetes and now today I feel wonderful. My pressure is normal and noone is taking about diabetes. I don't have the lower back pain, or knee pain from too much weight on them and I can cross my legs and leave them like that for a long period of time so that is great.  I have accomplished alot and I am happy about it.  I still have some issues that I have to deal with, but who doesn't.  I still have to make sure to take my vitamins and minerals, make sure I am eating enough( this is still a problem, it's getting better), and getting all my fluids in. Even with that it is all good.
