"Hi, My name is Vianca and I had my Lapband surgey on 12/15/2009 with Dr, Frederick Tiesenga in Elmwood Park, Illinois. I have been losing from 9 to 12 pound every 6 weeks. I am at 100 pounds lost in a moatter of months.
I follow my diet that Dr. Tiesenga gave and I workout 5 times a week for 30 mintues. It took me about 3 ajustments to get to a prefect fit. Now I feel great I eat healthy and I even leave food on plate.
Let me tell you I thought that that I was not cablae of doing that leaving food on my plate but I proved myself wrong. I was a coke freak. I dont take any type of drugs but soda was my drug. Its been six months that I have not had a drink of soda and it feels great.
I was wearing a size 28 in pants 6 months ago and now i am wearing a sixe 14. Never did I think I was going to be that size again. In shrit I was a 4x and now I am a size 14. My surgey weight was 295 pounds and now I weight 198 pounds.
I have no regets on haveing the lapband surgey. This has been the best thing for me. I LOVE IT!!!!
The one thing that I must do is Thank Dr. Fredrick Tiesenga. Dr. T saved my life. I had no future and I was ashamed to be me. He has been very supportive in my journey. I must say that the day of my surgey I was very scared but he gave me confort words. He told me no need to worry you are going to be okay and courage is not absence of fear. Those words to me gave me a whole outlook of what was going to happen. I asked him will you be there when I wake up he said yes and sure enough his voice was the first voice I hread upon awakeing. That was a voice of an angel. Every appointment I have with him he encourges me so much and he makes me proud of me. YOU ARE THE BEST DR. TIESENGA. The staff at the doctor office is great. Ceilca make you feel like family I love her dearly she was also a form of support for me.
once again thank you for this wonderful oppouitry that you have given me Dr. T."
