减肥手术前后

克里斯汀减肥手术和下半身提拉手术前后介绍性**

Kristin Szilagyi于2003年8月27日在我的医院等候她一直陪着我,直到护士把轮床抬过来,把我送进我的新生活。而克里斯汀就在我的另一边,在我们减肥手术的旅途中给我和其他病人提供支持。

Kristin是肥胖的外科医生的第一名患者。她是一个壮观的患者。克里斯汀的减肥是示例性的。这就像看鸭子成为天鹅。她成为减肥手术的海报儿童。当我在即将到来的景点之前,我会在广告牌上看到她的照片大于我在广告牌上闪光灯。在景点之前,大屏幕上的电影剧院。

我怀疑克里斯汀总是在里面是一个美丽的人。在她减肥手术后,克里斯汀成为里面和外面的美国美容。

克里斯汀,你在2002年做了胃分流手术之后,您运行了外科医生的现场和在线支持小组。激励你想要帮助患者的内容是什么?

答:2001年,新泽西州几乎没有外科医生在做减肥手术。在我的健康保险计划中的外科医生有一年半的手术等待时间。他还参加了每月一次的互助小组。所以我强迫自己参加前两次会议,因为我以为是会议?喜欢AA吗?我没有问题!我不是瘾君子!我甚至不喜欢在公共场合露面!然而,如果我要改变我的身体,我需要和其他经历过这一切的人谈谈。我每个月都去。 I can't begin tell you the education, love and support this group of people showed to me, it was remarkable. So I joined their support group team. It was my way of tricking me to go every month. I didn't need them they would need me! If they needed me to do something I had to be there. It was the BEST decision I ever made. I had never went to a support group meeting ever! Boy did I learn a lot!! Now I know better, I needed them, they didn't need me. I wanted to give back and let me tell you I could not do enough. I have the honor to relay the stories of my life so that they too can have a hope for a changed life; a life not marked with suffering and humiliation, but one that is bright with dreams that become realities, a life that is free from the imprisonment that having an obese body brings. For that, I am grateful, for without my own suffering, I could never truly understand the internal strife of my peers. We all have the power to make the changes that we want to be; sometimes we need to help each other along that journey.

问:请帮助我们的读者理解是什么导致你变得肥胖,以及你是如何决定进行减肥手术的。

答:我和孩子一样不超重。我开始加强高中的高中。我现在在10年后知道我已经让自己变得肥胖了。这是一个吞咽的硬丸。谁实际上想要肥胖?更不用说让自己成为病态肥胖。哦,但我总是拥有的借口!我最大的是我每周6天在沙龙工作,吃早餐,午餐和晚餐。没有时间吃饭。我会在5分钟内嘲笑食物。 On the weekends I was too tired to cook, so let's order out or go out. Then I had kids".baby weight. Then I owned my own salon, it was too much to handle. I was borderline diabetic. I was depressed. Then there were marital problems. I'd lose twenty or thirty pounds then put it right back on plus another forty. I felt like a prisoner in my own body. I had no energy and had to take a handful of pills just to make it through the day. I even tried prescription weight loss drugs for a period of time. The list goes on and on. I decided that after being on every diet and programs out there, wasting my money on shams and fads. I had had it with myself; I was frustrated, discouraged and severely depressed. When you're that overweight, you feel like a failure. You feel embarrassed and self-conscious. I felt like there was nothing I could do, and that I was just going to be overweight for the rest of my life. I heard about gastric bypass surgery from a client who knew someone who had the surgery. In the beginning I thought the idea was absolutely crazy. I started doing research and finally made the appointment for a consultation.
