Things I learned from running aka my recent pain & suffering
As many of you may know, my (now) five year old’s best friend was diagnosed with a horrific cancer last February for which she needed surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. When the chemo was completed back in August, we had a swim party for her and the little crew of friends that have played together since [...]
You do NOT look anorexic!!
9. February 2010
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard patients worried about their weight loss because somebody told them they look “sick” or “unhealthy”. These concerns can act as real saboteurs – people are afraid to lose the weight they need to because they don’t want to look like they just stepped off the floor [...]
F— it.

A couple of weeks ago, Dr. Keilin and I had another chance to visit with Craig Thompson. Craig is the man behind the website Weight Loss Surgery Channel and he was gracious enough to have Dr. Keilin and I share our knowledge with his audience.

Treadmills CAN be used for something other than a clothes hanger!
13. January 2010
Most everyone I know has had a piece of exercise equipment in their house at some point in their lives. An elliptical, a treadmill, a weight machine – something. It starts out all shiny and new, or for the more cautious buyer, maybe with a few scratches from a previous owner. Whatever its’ condition, it [...]
Getting Started
11. January 2010
It’s the new year so it’s the time to start again fresh. Do I think there’s something completely new or different just because it’s January? No, but it’s a great time to make a mental break and start afresh. Whatever happened last year, whatever mistakes were made – they are now in the past. You [...]

Why Some Lap Banders Lose Weight Almost Effortlessly
7. November 2009
There are some days in clinic when I feel a little like a cookbook. Everybody wants to know exactly what foods they should be eating, exactly how to prepare them and exactly what not to eat (’cause if you don’t forbid it specifically, then they’re gonna take it as a license to eat it). While [...]
