My WOW Moment

Well, in my 9th week out and down 40 lbs. I used to cry and have to stop 1/2 way from walking from the parking garage into the building I work in. Just 4 weeks after surgery, I had lost 25 lbs, and no more pain during that trip. I haven't had any hiatal hernia issues when I used to hurt EVERY, and I mean EVERY day!! The swelling in my legs has lessened. So many things to be thankful for. My biggest WOW, is going from a size 22 to an 18. I feel blessed and am so grateful that God gave people like Dr. Cacucci the desire, wisdom, knowledge, to do what she does. I wonder if she ever knows just how much she has touched people's lives? I am more than blessed. Well, I think I better let her know and send her a card. Goodness, I didn't think I'd get this emotional.

I am so happy to hear of your betterments after such a short time. Yes we are blessed to have docs like Cacucci. She is the doc I have selected to work with... I probably will have surgery in May, God willing. Glad you are pleased with the outcome!

Beth I am glad to hear that you are starting to see the sucess of your surgery. I to had Dr Cacucci and God could not have seen me a better angel then her. Dan

Well, you just often wonder if they truly realize the happiness and hope that they give people. I just think it is so cool. I have learned so much in such a short time, and this whole experience I believe has made me a better all around person, and I'm just beginning. Oh well, I guess I had to just get all this out and who best to share it with than people who truly understand. Thanks , it's funny, before surgery, when she came in to see me I told her "Heh there Doc, you got an angel right on your shoulder, I see it." She just smiled. I knew I was in good hands. Beth

I agree with u both Dr Cacucci is the very best and so is St V's. I had the best experience with both.

I see we have the Dr C admiration society going on here!! Yep she saved my life too.. But let us all remember that WHOEVER did our actual WLS it was the best day in the rest of our lives and God has been truely looking out for us... Some of our roads have been rough.. but some have been smooth sailing but what ever path we took on our journey.. it was SO M UCH BETTER than staying content at where we were. Linda

So glad to see you are doing so well Beth! I too am a member of the Dr. Cacucci fan club. She is a very special person! Sam

Congratulations. You are doing so well. I am excited for you to know that your pain has gone away. Like you, I am enjoying the smaller size, but the best thing is to be pain free. Blessings, Annette
