Surgeon Testimonial

Jon L. Schram, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Schram seemed like a nice man. My time with him at my consult was very short. I think it is because I already know a lot about the surgery and didnt have many questions to ask him. He explained what they did during the surgery process, so that it was easy to understand. He also told me about some of the risk and death ratio. Which I'm not worried about in my situation. I have chosen BTC and Dr. Schram because I have heard alot of wonderful things about Dr. Schram and the many surgerys he has performed outside the BTC surgery.

The staff was really nice and helpful. I really like the way they handle the aftercare. I have been attending BTC meetings with my sister for the past year and feel I get a lot of good information from there.

    Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)… RNY 10/31/03 – down 87 pounds!!! Good luck!

Still struggling
posted on 10/10/08 6:27 am
I'm still  struggling to lose these few last pounds I gained during my pregnancy.  I'm currently weighing between 165-167 (lowest weight ever was around 155 on my old scale).  I know that this is only 3-5 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight and my doctors lowest scale weight...but darnit, I want to get back into my 150's (and lower if possible).  What totally sucks is that I'm pretty close to my pre-pregnancy weight, but my clothes don't fit or look the same (most are to small, tight and short).  I was wearing mostly 8's (and 10's) before and now wearing mostly 12's (some 10's).  I know I need to buckle down and drink more water and make healthier choices.  Some days I do really good and other days I just want to eat junk all day.  I guess to some degree I should consider myself lucky that I didn't gain any of the weight I lost from my surgery prior to my pregnancy.  It's just so hard to lose these last few pounds and even if I do get them off, I'm affraid that I will never get into my old jeans because my body shape is different now (especially in the belly).  Some days I feel so fat and other days I feel happy with how far I have come since my surgery.  It's a mind game that will never go away and I know I always will have to watch what I eat so I don't gain any more weight back.  This surgery has changed my life drastically and I'm a much happier person now.  I have 3 great kids, a great husband and a nice home to live in.  I'm able to stay at home and take care of my children.  God has truly blessed me in many ways.  I just wished I could accept my body the way it is and get past the fact that it will never be perfect.  I still plan to get a lower body lift in the future (hopefully in the next couple of years), but I'm affraid that even after that, I won't be happy with my body.  The surgery has definately helped me to lose the weight and keep it off, but it hasn't helped my brain and the way I think.  Food will always be an addiction that will be hard to overcome.
