Surgeon Testimonial Wade 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

Sliding towards normalicy
I've lost almost 80 lbs since first seeing Dr. B in March. Seems like so long ago. Stats this week: Lbs: 237.0 BMI: 37.1 H20: 45.9 BMR: 1842 MM: 31.4 More people have started noticing the weight loss. A friend of my mother who has known me for 25 years said I look younger than I did in Spring. Others notice, then get stuck on just how much. Since the surgery in July I've lost 60lbs, 6 dress sizes (26 to 20), 3 underwear sizes (13 to 10). I need to get my wedding ring resized - it flew across the room when I was doing laundry. I need to get the girls checked - my bras aren't fitting very well. I'm reaching the point of no return, which is when I recognize I will not wear the clothes stacking up in the back of my closet and take action to donate them. None of them are good enough for the clothing exchange, though. I bought cheap clothes. I'm starting to adjust to my new body. It's got curves again! I'll take the lumps that come with it. My arms are floppy and my thighs need control top pantyhose, but overall, I'm looking a lot better. And I feel a lot better about that. Went to Granbury over the weekend, and the Spring Creek BBQ was the first place to refuse me a child's meal. They kindly offered me a sandwich plate, but I can't eat bread and fries. I declined and munched off my mom's plate. Three slices of sausage, 1/2 cup of green beans, and a pickle: I was good. Black Eyed Pea was a pleasant surprised. Earlier, we had talked about foods we remember from our history, and it carried over to dinner. Pork chops, black eyed peas, turnip greens. green beans, and vegetable soup were on the table: I had 3 - 4 bites of good pork chop, all my black eyed peas, most of the turnip greens, and a couple green beans. Not a bad meal. In fact, we went back for lunch today. = ) Rain, rain, go away! I took an Ambien and won't play today... 0 Comment(s)
