Cheryl and Steve – 138 lbs. Weight Loss Combined
Posted: Feb 01 in Patient Results by Staff
I have always struggled with weight my whole life; Cheryl has only had an issue with it in adulthood. In the fall of 2009 we were both losing control of our weight and, for me, it was starting to cause some real health issues. I had recently been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic, had sleep apnea, and high cholesterol. Cheryl had high cholesterol, and had lost control too. We were both the heaviest we had ever been and knew we needed help. I was referred to Dr. Scinta and we visited an info session the week after Christmas 2009. We looked each other in the mirror and made the commitment to each other and ourselves to both go on the full Optifast program and started the first week in January 2010.

I was always on the chubby side but in the past few years it has gotten out of control. In the summer of 2010 my doctor told me I had to do something about my weight. I was told about Dr. Scinta. I went there and met with everyone who was amazingly nice to me. I had my blood drawn and a few weeks later got the results. I had insulin resistance and over active thyroid and a few other things. My mom asked how come the doctors never found any of this. Dr. Scinta answered because they don’t always test for adult diseases. I was told that if I was 10 lbs heavier, I would’ve had diabetes. I’m so glad we caught my weight problem before it was too late.

Being overweight, like other people, has been a struggle all my life. There were times that I had my weight under control, but then some event would trigger me to eat out of control again and up my weight would go.

I retired in 2003 and after a couple of years started regaining weight. Finally, after five years, I weighed more than I had ever weighed in my life. Weight has always been a problem for me. Other than being grossly overweight, I enjoyed my life very much although my weight was beginning to slow me down from doing the things I like to do. I love running with my dog in agility, but running time is a factor, and I was finding it harder and harder to be successful at this activity which I love.

Most days it is difficult for me to believe that two years have past since I first went to an informational meeting with Doctor Scinta and the wonderful staff at Medical Weight Loss of NY, but it has been that long. During that first session Doc challenged me about losing weight. Losing weight was something that I had done on several different occasions during my adult life, but was never able to keep it off for any period of time. Mostly because when I got down to a desired weight I just would go back to the same old bad habits.
