Surgeon Testimonial

Andrew Aldridge M.D., F.A.C.S.
I like Dr. Aldridge. He's very personable, knowledgable and sincere. He explains things well and he truely seems to care about people.

He did a wonderful job on my VSG, so far I am very happy with the results and the aftercare is top-notch.

I don't have anything negative to say about him or his staff.

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Settling In
on July 29, 2008 4:56 pm
Things have been pretty much the same for the last 3 to 4 weeks.  I am a couple lbs lighter now but, at one point, I had gained 5 lbs or so.  I have a check-up in early September for my official weigh-in.

I feel good at this weight but I would like to lose just a few more.  If I don't, that's ok too...just so I don't gain I suppose.

I'm still diligent about what I eat and I do pretty good with exercise but I could do better.   I log my exercise and everything I eat at one of the on-line sites.  I find that it helps me stay on track.

The VSG - Once again I have to say that I would do this again in a heart-beat.  I still beleive it is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Eating More
on July 3, 2008 8:41 pm
I had read that at about 6 months after surgery VSGers are suddenly able to eat more.  This has finally happened to me too...

In the past week or so I am suddenly able to eat what seems like quite a bit more.  My intake has increased by a couple hundred calories per day.  So far nuts are my downfall, lots of fat and calories, and Turkey Jerky, lots of protein but too much salt.  

I don't know what my weight is but I feel good.  Even without weighing I know that I need to increase my exercise and decrease calories a little.

I just gotta keep on working on it....
