Surgeon Testimonial

Adolfo Fernandez
I'm now six months out from surgery and feeling great! I love my RNY.

My surgeon was Adolfo Fernandez in Winston-Salem, NC. Two of my friends also had him do their surgery; together they have lost over 350 pounds (one in fourteen months and the other in two years). Both absolutely LOVE him. His nickname is "Fuzz".

I am extrememly pleased with my results. And I am very confident in his abilities; and I was and remain very impressed.

His support staff is the best!! Very informative and interested in getting everyone on the right track and providing the very best care their patients.

Four And A Half Months Out

Hi, friends! I hope you're doing well.

It has been a while since I've written; but I've been very busy recreating MYSELF! This self-remodeling project is ongoing and will be for a while...but I'm getting there! And I feel very blessed.

I've now lost about 82 pounds; every day I'm feeling better and better. Stronger and healthier. Hubby and I try to swim every night and I'm up to 100 laps a day, plus some other type of nightly aquatic workout. 

I truly love my RNY and I am so glad that I had the surgery. It's the best investment I've ever made (along with that of my insurance company).

Anyway, I'll try to blog more than I have in the past few months.

EDIT: I'm finally getting around to adding more pics. Here's a sampling from about ten weeks out from surgery.

On another note, have you ever wondered if you are truly big boned? Take this easy test and see:

Body Type

To determine your body type, wrap your middle finger and thumb around your wrist.

  • If your fingers overlap, you are a small frame.
  • If your fingers just touch, you are a medium frame.
  • If your fingers do not meet, you are a large frame.

THERE YOU GO, NOW YOU KNOW!
