7 months out

Oct 20, 2009

i started out at over 155 lbs the year before you surgery. the day of my surgery i dropped down to 241 lbs cuz doc said i had to loose 10 lbs to have the surgery. i am now 195 lbs and in a size 14/16, working out at first was not easy but as i started tos ee results it motivated me to watch what i eat and workout more. i have discovered taht i cant eat chili. severe reflux. i am very choosy bout what i put into my body. i just think of my own person goals and the bad stuff i no longer desire. I believe that everything is good in moderation however, the word moderaton may be less for me than it would be fore someone else. I owe my surgeon a lot for giving me my life back and assisting me with a proper lifestyle change. though ultimately it was my decision to make this change, the care and concern of the Doctors and staff and Brody School of Medicine is greatly appreciated. I can't thank you enough. Thank you Dr Pender for keeping me straight and making me spit out my gum.
