Surgeon Testimonial

Joseph Caruana, M.D.
I love Dr. Caruana! His staff is incredible. The first time I called his office, they were so willing to assist me in any way possible. I had some issues with my insurance where they cancelled my surgery, and Dr. Caruanas office was immediately on the phone working out the problem. The first time I met Caruana, he told me how beautiful I was, and said that I should be a model when all is said and done, how nice is that! I had my surgery on June 30, 2008. To this day I have not seen Dr. Caruana since my surgery, but Marc who does all the follow up appointments is so nice and really cares about his patients. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Caruana to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

Wow, totally missed my 10 months post!
on May 10, 2009 10:21 am
I always post in the groups, but almost always forget to update here. Anyyyhoo. I'm 10 months out now (well, 10 months and 2 weeks now!), and I have hit my FINAL goal! That's right folks, I did it! I am weighing in at 165 pounds even, which means I have lost exactly 150 pounds to date. I met with my surgeon on Thursday, he was pleased to say the least. He said I should start maintaining now, but I would like to see how small I can get before I go trying to stay where I am. If it weren't for all this darn skin I would be completely satisfied with how I look right now, but all the skin on my tummy and arms makes me look about 200 pounds. Hm, what else. I am finding myself slipping into old habits. It's so easy for me to make up excuses for why I deserve food. Yesterday was the absolute worst. I was depressed because of mothers day, so I had a taco from taco bell, 2 cupcakes, a tiny bag of doritoes, and a freaking cadbury egg. What was I thinking? I definitely have to get control over that asap or I know me, I will go right back to 315 pounds like *that*. Starting today I will be way more vigalant, I am worth being happy, I have to stop sabatoging myself! In closing, heres my 10 month picture :D

I cannot beleive it has been 8 months already, time flies when your loving life :) I am down to 188 pounds, smaller than I have been since middle school! That is officially 127 pounds gone forever.

Down to 192 pounds! I'm losing verrry slowly, despite all my hard work, but I keep saying, even if I stopped losing right now, I would be happy with all of my progress and where I am as far as my weight :)

I instantly started crying, this is so incredible! I started at 315 pounds, meaning that I have lost 116 pounds since June 1st!

My life just keeps getting better and better, I cannot even BELIEVE how happy this makes me!!!!

My Story



    I wasn't always this heavy. I was actually quite an active child. I used to love playing sports, I was a total tomboy. I learned around the age of 13 though that whenever I was sad, food made it go away. What an amazing thing, I thought. I feel an emotion I dont want to feel, and something as simple as a hershey bar makes it go away!

    My mom passed away when I was 17, and thats when things got out of control. I was about 180 lbs when she passed, that was 4 years ago, now Im 304 lbs. Its funny how weight can just spiral out of control like that. I guess I kind of told myself, as long my face was pretty, and as long as I was fashionable, who cared what I weighed? Thats kind of how I got into the hair and makeup industry. I bought all the newest makeup brands and colored my hair all the time. I kept telling myself, who cares that I gained 50 lbs this year, my face looks awesome, and my hair is hot!

    Two years ago while at work I ruptured a disk in my spine, due to, of course, my weight. Two surgeries later, and I'm worse than ever. Its kind of ironic that I finally decide to turn my life around, eat right, exercise, and then Im completely bed ridden for two years barely able to walk. This is why I am hoping to have WLS in the very near future. The doctors think if only I had help loosing weight I could really do it, and not only would I be healthy again, but my back would be 10X better. Im ready to turn my life around, and start living for me.
