My Surgeon Rocks!
Dr Obaid in Southlake.... After maintaining 100+ lb weight loss for quite a few years thanks to my WLS, I finally got what was left over (and wouldn't budge) removed. The recovery was really hard... if you had major weight loss your surgery is probably going to be pretty extreme and will take some time to feel better... but I'm so glad/grateful. For the 1st time EVER in my life, my tummy is flat. Love it!
Awesome!
