Surgeon Testimonial

Glen Strickland
There is so much I could say about Dr. Strickland. He was everything positive you had to say about a surgeon. He was it. I never had a doctor make me feel so comfortable about a proceedure than him. If I had to do it all over again I would as long as I could have Dr. Strickland for my doctor. I thank him for giving me back my life. Tina Rivera

I can't believe that in a few days it will be 3 years since I had my life handed back to me. I love my life. I am still a size 10. It has been a long journey with bumps and turns along the way, but I can honestly say if I had to do it all over again, I certainly would do it again. angry Being healthy is such a good feeling.  I have lost some old friends, including a husband, but I have gained many friendships on this journey. I love all of you and wish you much continued success in the up coming year.  Friends for Life Tina

I am very excited about the weekend in Atl this October. This will be my very first function away from SC since my surgery. I have spoken to a few and hope to meet more of you. Feeling great I can't wait.

I can't believe its been one year. Its been a long haul and I made it. Its been along time since my last post. I've lost 110 pounds and I feel great.  I  feel truly blessed and oh so thankful. To my OH family thank you for all the words of encouragement and well wishes. To the ones who have made it to the losers bench and the ones on the journey be proud of yourselves because this is not an easy task, it is a way of life. It is a great accomplishment. Stay blessed.
P.S. I will post my year photo's in a few days.
