weight loss surgeon says things are good. I say I am scared now

Dec 13, 2011

I started out with Dr. Steven Hendrick April 2010. Went to his seminar. I had been to others but did not like the other surgeons. I found Dr. H. I knew right away he was going to be my WLS. He knew his stuff told the truth. Told me the good and the bad about surgery. Holds me responsible never letting me give my self any excuse for not doing right. Told me off when I needed it. He did my gallbladder removal which I was so scared of but he made me feel so safe in his hands and talent he has. He told me to go see a gyno kept on me about seeing one. I went and my gyno told me I was lucky to have a Dr. H care so much about me. I ended up having a hysterectomy  just in time my gyno said. I hurt my knee 10 years ago and Dr. H after I had lost some weight told me go and get that knee fixed so I can get my giddy up and go again for him lol. I had the knee surgery and never looked back now jogging a mile a day.  I am able to run after my grandson and make him tired now he tells me to stop running around he is 6.

Dr. H did my tummy tuck which looks fab by the way. I just saw him today for the last time about my tummy tuck he said it looks good put me back to work which I need to be at staying home kills me. Dr. H said see ya in July when I am 2 years out from WLS. Now reality hit me. I know how to eat right know what to eat know to exercise. I just pray I can keep the weight off. I am going to college to become a  Medical practice/Facility business management. I want to give back to others. Some day I hope to work with a surgeon in his or her office to help others with there weight loss journey. My weight loss journey has changed my out look on life. It has made me love me and care about me. I am ready for my next journey which is getting my degree. I thank Dr. H and his wonderful staff  Rachel, Kisha, LaDon for support and strength they gave me. I will still be getting my Vitim's from them and doing support group with them.  I will go to some seminars to talk to others about WLS. 

This has been the best journey one can be on. Now it is time for me to carry on with this weight loss journey keep on track eat right and exercise to keep my weight in check. I will try so hard never to gain my weight back and if I do i know where there is a doc I can turn to.
