Surgeon Testimonial

Russell Gornichec
Dr. Gornichec to me is the best of the best. He has very high expectations of his patients which I believe makes a great doctor. I love Dr. G's bedside manner. He makes me feel extremely comfortable. He runs a great office and has wonderful staff.

Because of the Lord, Dr. Gornichec and this wonderful opportunity, my life has changed. My outlook on life is great. I feel younger, healthier and a lot more sexy. I feel like for the first time in a long time - my inner me - the real me - is shining through.

Thank you Dr. Gornichec for making such an awesome impact on my life!

Do I Ever Update?
on November 29, 2007 6:14 pm
Just my pictures from time to time.  Shame on me!

Well, I'm over a year out now and I'm so extremely pleased with this whole process.  I'm loving life and busier than ever - thanks to my band!

I'm 85 pounds down now and needing to lose just 18 more.

I've got an underground secret society:

http://groups.google.com/group/oklahoma-wls

If you would like to join it and you are in Oklahoma or visit Oklahoma often, send me a request at that website and I'll add you.  If you can (not sure if it will let you) please tell me who you are and what made you interested in joining the group.  Within the underground group, we list social gatherings outside of the message board on OH.

Sorry that I haven't updated in a long while - I've been out enjoying life!

I am 10 months out and I've lost 76 pounds so far.  I'm still loving this journey!  I am so thankful to my precious Savior for allowing me this awesome gift!

I so completely welcome any questions that you may have.

I love being a support group leader.  I've met so many wonderful people.

Anyway, I'll try to do better at posting on here.

Loving Life!

Finally Posting
on June 12, 2007 10:06 am
I don't post on here like I should, but I wanted to post today because I am so extremely pleased with everything that is goin on with my band.  

I need to post a new picture too - but I'm at work - so that isn't going to happen at this minute.

I love my band.  I am so pleased with the whole process.  The weight is coming off nicely.  I have 36 more pounds to lose to get to my goal weight.  I am blown away by this.  It seems to have happened really fast and it's been fairly easy.  

I love the energy that I have.  I love the new me that has come out too.  My husband loves the confidence that it has given me.  I love the fact that I can sit on my husbands lap without crushing him and that he can pick me up and it isn't a strain.

I know that I made the right decision with having the band done and highly, highly, highly - 100% - without a shadow of a doubt - recommend this to anyone that is serious about taking charge of their weight problems.

And, I just have to say again how great Dr. Gornichec and his staff are.  They are so supportive - even when you are as far out as I am.  I have the greatest confidence in Dr. Gornichec and highly recommend him.

I'm just so pleased that I got the Band and it's working for me.  I'm down 49 pounds - hoping for 50 tomorrow.

It is such a blessing to have received this gift.

I'm thankful!
