David Arnold, M.D. I have been very impressed with his experience, his knowledge, and his bedside manner. He really seems to put his patients first. The office staff is very organized and caring. They always try to answer any question you have and know exactly what to say. Aftercare is a huge part of this program. The surgery is only a tool to assist in your weight loss. The rest is up to you and this program gives you all the support you need from nutrition classes to support group meetings to frequent follow up visits with the surgeon himself.
Once I had insurance approval I had a surgery date within the week and had pre-op date and times set just as quickly, very impressed.

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! ~

3 months out and feeling FINE! There is definately less of me to love these days, but I am not complaining. Today I am down 66 lbs and over 43 inches. I am so excited. Everyday when I put on clothes that fit the day or week before, they are loose. I LOVE THIS TOOL!
I am wearing 1-2XL scrubs, down from 4-5x scrubs. I can wear a solid 24 and some 22's in jeans without stretch. I am even fitting in some 18-20 size tops. I am down from a size 50-52DD bra to a 44-46 C/D. AMAZING.
I fit in a booth without holding my breath. I am actually looking forward to sitting on an Airplane this week to travel to San Diego for a conference because I know that this time I will not need an extender.
I am working out at the gym every day that I am off - usually 3-4 days per week and even took a barbell strength class the other morning after working a 24hr shift and I completed the class. My kids love going to the gym too. We joined Lifetime Fitness and it is really a great family centered place. We are even going to a Bunny Buffet at the gym on Saturday with an Easter egg hunt and all kinds of goodies for the kiddos.
Anyway, in case you have not noticed I am OVER JOYED for this new lease on life. I cannot wait to see what the next 3 months hold in store. My husband and I are taking a cruise in June and I have another cruise planned for September for a friend's bachelorette party. I should be SMOKIN hot by then!!!
Until next time, keep the protein and water flowing and exercise, exercise, exercise!!!
