Surgeon Testimonial

Yen-Chung Andrew Lee
My experience with Dr. Lee has been extremely positive. Dr. Lee is very professional and I have never felt rushed. He has always taken time to explain the answers to the questions I have had.

I recall a late Friday afternoon I had called his office and needed some information about a medication-he called me well after 5pm to ensure I had my answer.

I owe my success to the care and education given to me by Dr. Lee, his incredible staff and the Valley Care Bariatric Program-namely Valerie Simler.

Many thanks to the whole team!

I would and have recommended Dr. Lee to anyone who wants a compassionate and educated Surgeon.

Kind Regards,

Therese M. Nichols

Hello to you fellow "somebody". Rarely do I find a place I can actually fit in, but OH feels exactly right. We are all on the road together, thankfully.

I am 41 years young (whatever about being 40 something! LOL!).

Two years out-OH and I got married!
on November 11, 2008 10:12 am

Hi all!

Well-I am sneaking up on my two year surgiversary. Unbelievable! I have lost a total of OVER 220 lbs.

I can't begin to tell you how my life has changed. Everything is different. Just to MOVE and to WALK-those are the miracles in my life. They really are.

I don't have lots to say-but to remind myself and all of you-this journey should not be taken alone. We NEED each other. We need support and we need ALL the hope we can get our hands on.

Do NOT give up ever. If you are waiting for approval, if you are just starting out or if you are years into it-there is ALWAYS hope. Always hope.

Also-I GOT MARRIED! *Gasp*. I met my UK love and we married November 3rd. I plan to relocate there this year. Hey-if any of you are from the UK-want to drop me a line? Let's talk!! I need to make some new friends!

I am VERY happy and excited and scared too! Wow-how life changes!!!

Enclosed are my before and after and a picture of my beautiful Husband and I!

Thanks for listening to my ramble and always-I thank you for your support and kindness!
Peace,
T

Hey all!

Each time we do this-we have a great time sharing our pics. We ALL remember what it was like waiting for approval and looking at the before and afters OVER and OVER (I STILL love to look at them!). Many times those pictures inspired me and kept me going.

Even if you are only a month or two out-SHARE your pictures here! There is always someone out there who is going to relate to you and may need to hear your story!

Peace,
T

200 Lbs LOST!!
on August 10, 2008 9:55 am

Hi all!

I got on the scale today and saw something that made me look twice!!! Seriously-I thought my body was done losing weight-since the scale has sort of "floated" around 160 for the past couple of months.

I am 21 months out from surgery.

I decided to add some treadmill time and actually added a few more protein calories as well. And-that seems to have gotten things moving.

The day of surgery my weight was 359-so that means I have officially lost 200 lbs since my big day!

It has been worth everything-absolutely. My only regret (and you will hear this lots around here)-is that I didn't have the surgery sooner.

I just wanted to share here-where I have received most of my support. As always-THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!

Peace,

Therese

Settling into my own body!
on July 5, 2008 7:54 pm

Well-there have been many threads on this lately-about getting used to our new bodies. Am I at my REAL goal weight? I don't know yet? However-I have taken an honest look and can say I am OK here. I just don't know if this whole BMI thing is the best indicator of having arrived at your healthy weight. I can't say for sure-but it makes one think!

Peace,
Therese
