Surgeon Testimonial

Christopher Edwards
I enjoyed talking to my surgeon, what time i did, I havent seen him all that much, since even the beginning...I think he is very compasionate, and caring, but not to good on the seeing...He has a PA, that see,s post op pt..even while in hosp, and when your out..She is very good.rn I do think his surgical competence is a lot better than his bedside manner, but I guess thats better anyway....I am over all most pleased with the out come of surgery...and would highly recomend Dr. Edwards for the job.

Its, a long journey home, where I want to be.
posted on 3/1/09 10:53 am
I guess you know by now, I weighed 261, almost 4 wks ago. I am 2 wks post op. and I am down to 238, at the present.  But I am able to eat solid foods, now,and I feel like I am able to eat to much.
     My eating problem was and is, because,when I'm hungry, I eat. I didnt eat, because of being sad, mad, upset, bored,I ate because I was hungry. I ate 2 pieces of toast, and a sm. bowl of cream of wheat. (That comes in those indivdual packets). I wont be hungry until this afternoon, but the way I hear it from other people,they cant eat that much. I'm scared to death, that something is wrong.  I had gastric bypass, I was told that the lap band probably wouldnt work for me, because of an absorbtion problem or something. I have lost some weight, but I just started on solids, and I'm really scared....Am I the only one who feels like this...?????
      I want to lose 130 lbs, by Christmas,2009, but I dont have much faith in myself.  Thanks for reading this, it  helps just to put it out there>!  I forgot to mention that I am 58 yrs old, and married to the greatest guy in the world, Have 2 grown children, 5 grandchildren,and expecting my first great grand(daughter)  Yep, we already know..... Thanks again everyone...
