Surgeon TestimonialWade Barker, M.D.I'm so glad I was referred to Dr. B's office! The staff was wonderful for the pre-op, and I expect the surgery and post-op to go just as well.
Post-Op: Thank God for Dr. Barker. I've lost over 10 lbs since the surgery without a single problem. The staff was awesome. They get busy, they get overbooked, but it was so, so, so worth it. They only get backed up because they will take the time you need, not give you just the time they have. Latest Surgery Support Comments

Wow. Wow. Wow! on September 20, 2007 9:30 pm
While my surgery has not been a secret, I haven't told many people outside of my family and work. Well, I went to a campus event today and ran into a classmate I hadn't seen in a few months. After a couple minutes of listening in a group, she came over to me and asked in a very quiet voice, "Have you lost weight?"
I nodded and said, "Yes." She looked at me again and whispered, "Seriously, lots of weight." I nodded again and said, "Yes" She shook her head and said, "you've lost lots of weight in a really short period of time. Did you diet or do some program?"
At this point we were pretty much alone, so I told her about having the gastric bypass in July. She went on to talk about a friend of hers who had it and looks fabulous, and that I looked fabulous too. She said she didn't notice it form my clothes (I'm still wearing my 24 suit when I should be in 20s), but from my face.
Anyway, that was such a positive moment. It's the first time an 'outside' person who didn't already know recognized that something changed. It felt good. It was good.

Wake up, clear up on September 13, 2007 9:38 pm
I decided to go to the Clinique counter to get some face cleaner. It works! Within a day most of the breakouts were under control. We'll see if it keeps working, but I'm pretty happy with it.
It seems to be true - when you stop loosing pounds you start loosing inches. I'd stalled out two weeks ago, lost 6 or so lbs, but stalled again this week. But that's ok. I went to Macys and, since I've lost the weight, I had no idea what size I wear. So I pulled a 20, 22, and 24 to go try on. I started with the 20s and was shocked when THEY FIT! I know vanity sizing is in effect, so it's what I would consider to be a 22, but wow. I've dropped from a 3X to a 1X. I'm so happy, and now I can't wait to go shopping.
BTW - hello from Pittsburgh!
It's a day earlier than usual, but I took my weight this morning:
Lbs: 252
BMI: 38.5
H20: 44.8

MM: 31.0

Week of Clinique on September 8, 2007 7:43 am
So I've been having this acne problem that was annoying me, as it was worse than it ever was in high school. I finally went to the Clinique counter at Dillards. She cleaned my face and used some spot treatment. I went ahead and purchased the stuff, plus some makeup I needed. Well, by the Sunday morning the acne was already fading and by Monday it was pretty much gone. I don't have any spots right now. Woohoo!
I've also lost another 6 lbs. I've started weighing Saturday morning instead of Friday night. Specs this morning are:
Weight: 252.2
BMI: 38.6
H20: 44.8
BMR: 1908
Muscle Mass: 31.0
I don't know how much faith I put in the actual numbers, but it will be interesting to see how they change over time. I'll admit, I periodically get on the scale during the week to see what I weight, but I only write down the resuts here each week. = )
Off to Macy's Red Apple sale. I need new clothes!!!

Things got a lot better this week. = ) The blues finally lifted! Good, considering I still don't sleep well at all. I tossed and turned all night long last night. I've still got acne. THAT is getting annoying.
I've been having problems getting in protein. I've got some leads on good protein bars and I will order some of the bullets. For a while I was getting enough from the food, but since the last few rounds of feeling icky I just haven't been able to eat much. I go back for a follow up on Thursday, so I'll address some of these issues with Dr. B's office.
Still stuck on the scale, although I won't officially weigh until tomorrow. Unless something changes, this will be two weeks with less than two pounds lost. This has happened before - last time I tried phentermine I got to about this weight and stalled.
One positive thing has been exercise. I walked 30 minutes on Monday, then swam 30 minutes on Tuesday. It's difficult to get anything in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because of class, but I'm looking forward to walking some tomorrow. I'll probably swim tomorrow night, too.
