Surgeon Testimonial 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. Member Interests

4 months out!
Wow! I am still in shock that this is my life. I am 4 months out of surgery and down 75lbs! I know that every one says this, but this surgery truely has changed my life. I am going to the gym and working out a minimum of 3 days a week for 2 hrs. I can now do 3.5 miles on the treadmill in under an hour and then go do the weight circuit or swim 10 laps in the pool. I no longer require 4 hrs to recover after 30 minutes of exercise. My bones and joints no longer hurt. I actually look forward to going to the gym and am sad on the days when I have to work and cannot go. I recently took 2 work related trips by myself. The old me would never have done that. I not only went to San Diego alone but I went to Las Vegas, and I had a wonderful time being me. I wore a bathing suit and laid out by the pool and was confident. I introduced myself to strangers and was secure in myself for the first time in a very long time. I went to 2 shows by myself and did not feel like everyone was starring at me. I went out to eat by myself and was comfortable sitting there reading a book. I had so much fun! The best part of my trip was that I fit comfortably in the airplane seat with room to spare on my seat belt. That was a true WOW moment. For the first time EVER I have nothing in my closet to wear because everything is now too BIG not too small. My sister told me the other day that she thinks I am melting. She said everytime she sees me I am smaller. My two boys (5 and 2 1/2yrs old) can see a difference. They always ask me what activities I have done when we go to the gym. They say they want to work out with mommy. I love that I am teaching them new and healthy lessons in life. I can get up in the morning, run all day long, and still have some energy left at the end of the day. For the first time in our relationship I weigh less than my husband (ok so only by 1 lb, but it will just keep coming off). I can't wait to see how many inches I have lost this month. I LOVE THIS LIFE!!! 330/326/255/175 1 Comment(s)
