Surgeon Testimonial

Laurence K. Tanaka M.D.
I was a bit intimated at the seminar I attended, he has a dry humor. But over the visits and the day of surgery he made me feel so comfortable. I never doubted his ability to perform the surgery. The hospital stay was GREAT, my husband stayed in a bed right next to me the entire 4 days we we're there. I highly recomend Dr. Tanaka, he has forever changed my life.

Hold every person close to your heart 
Because you might wake up one day 
And realize that you've lost a diamond 
While you were too busy collecting stones.

>>>> 55lbs gone FOREVER<<<<
on February 19, 2009 10:03 am
This weight loss thing is crazy! I just had my 90 day check up yesterday (even though it’s been 15 weeks) and I’m down 55lbs. NO REGRETS! Yes I get sick on occasion, I think that’s to be expected, especially when you try new things. Yes, I still have the nerve to wish the weight would come off faster… that just human imperfection. Deep down I think I’m losing my weight at an excellent pace. SUPPORT- My husband is awesome… he’s got my back… I LOVE YOU!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, I’m down 44lbs and I feel great. I’ve started to where make up again, I where my hair down not just pony tails all the time. I feel grown! My husband is LOVING the new me, although he was madly in LOVE with the OLD me. What can I say… Smile! I’ll post some pictures after I lose 50lbs… that’s the plan anyway. Until next time…Take care and eat right!

Yay... I'm a loser now. Well I ended up having my surgery on Oct 23rd and was released from the hospital on Monday Oct 27th. Yeah it felt like I had got kicked in the stomach. Out of scale from 1-10 (10 being the worse) my pain was a 8. I walked and walked until I couldn't walk anymore and everyday I feel better and better! It's ONLY been six days and I've loss 14lbs... Holy Cow

>>>Meet Surgeon on Thurs 10/2/08<<<
on September 26, 2008 9:55 am
I am so excited… I go to San Diego on 10/2/08 to meet my surgeon and complete my final pre op before my surgery. 

I think I will be having my surgery in October for sure. Right before the Holidays… How cool is that! My mother in law is a caterer, she makes WATER taste good. NO extra pounds for me this holiday season.

*(((((*Kaiser Options Classes -Done*)))))*

I’ve completed my 24 weeks of Options classes. I’m so excited, I’m still a little impatient however I’m doing my best to keep it all together. The next step is to have my Doctor give an authorization # to Preventive Medicine so I can meet with the surgeon at Pacific Bariatrics in San Diego. Once they receive my paper work (approx a month) they will call me down to meet with the surgeon, psychiatrist etc…I will keep you all posted!
