MY STORY: Jan
Working in healthcare, I knew that the only surgeon for me was Dr. Jawad who is on the medical staff at Ocala Regional Medical Center. In doing my research and after speaking to him, I felt that he was the best. His statistics are amazing!! His staff was amazing as well. They took me step by step through the process and explained everything to me. I felt very reassured that I was making the right decision. September 8, 2004 was the day of my surgery. The surgery itself and the process that it takes were not that bad. I actually lost 12 lbs. the first week. I have lost a total of 120 lbs. to date and can’t be happier. I'm so pleased with how this surgery has changed my life. I exercise on a regular basis and I love to go shopping for new clothes. I want to pay close attention to this feeling and the way I'm eating so I can remember what I'm doing when the times get tougher!! It's not just that clothes look so good, but I have my actual life back. I can work without getting tired, and I can walk and talk at the same time without getting winded and out of breath. I can RUN to catch an elevator, even in pretty shoes!! I can cross my legs in either direction. I'm constantly mistaken for a naturally thin person!! It's amazing! THANK YOU!!!!

After numerous failed attempts to diet my way to the perfect weight, I decided in May of 2004 that I had to get serious. The only way I could see to do that was to have weight loss surgery. My primary care physician agreed that weight loss surgery was the only way to prevent my health from further declining. Further declining from the already many co-morbidities that have been discovered due to my weight. Elevated blood sugar, gall stones, high blood pressure, hip and back pain, stress incontinence and have heart palpitations.
