Surgeon Testimonial

Manuel Castro, M.D., Ph.D
Upon the orientation I found the staff helpful and very friendly. After going to the office for my visit it was even better and he really seems to understand. His office staff got everything taken care of on the first try. I have yet to find anything negative about him except i wished he did the surgery a little closer to home. Future patients should know that he and his staff are really nice and caring. Aftercare and support groups are there. Explained the risks and nothing new there... hmmm risks of life with surgery or certain things without... on a scale of 1-10 ---10 both seem to be great had several co-workers and friends use him

    Thank you I appreciate all the support and new friends on this and can't wait. Everyones support is so amazing and to find others that feel like i have for years and feel deprived of certain things in life because of size ... it is good to know that one is not alone and that it can get better... Thank You Everyone

    Tuesday 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!

Well here I am at the beginning of the the end of being overweight. It is a little overwhelming to feel that I will be back in control of that part of my life... Well I will blog and that is a start of a new change.

My Story

I still blame a doctor along time ago for the weight gain. I had my tonsils out in third grade. I was the smallest kid in class. After the surgery throughout the summer I found I liked food... by the time I went back I was one of the biggest.. Well after that the weight just kept adding a few here and there .... basically in 87 when i went to work for JPS I weighed 210 and now well 296 so 86 lbs in 20 years so looking at just a few lbs a year but they add up. 4lbs a year 1 every three months... where does the time go... Well time to change and get on the right track..... I am in law enforcement and enjoy it but I could do the obstacle course a little better without the weight and the huffing and puffing ... so to the start of a new journey.. but I am not so much liking the drinks yet maybe the are acquired taste    just not normal yet... the last pic was for my wife more than anything...LOL
