Alexis – weight loss
Posted: Aug 05 in Patient Results tagged General Weight Loss by Wendy Scinta
Each of us has a perception of what beautiful is, as they say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. It has been eleven months of learning to see myself as beautiful and breaking down my own stereotypes and judging myself on what I can do and what I want to do! So many times in my life I allowed myself to only hear and see the negative. I never stopped to believe I was worth more than that!
On September 5, 2009 I took an incredible leap of faith, hope, and determination, and decided that I will put my past behind me and start a new life with Dr. Scinta.
I will be honest and say that during my first appointment I broke down and cried, not just tiny tears, but huge crocodile tears! Tears that were filled with years of frustration, fear and negativity! Dr. Scinta listened and took a considerable amount of time with me. Wendy is one of the very few doctors who said she would help me and never lost sight of what our agreed upon goal was!
Eleven months later I can tell you that I am so close to reaching my goal, that sometimes when I am looking at myself in the mirror the tears are still falling down! But these tears are not the same as before, these are filled with self worth, hard work and a bounty of happiness!
This journey has been priceless to me, and these are a few of my favorite thoughts I have taken away. Keep listening to all the positive things around you! Enjoy each day you have and keep believing that you are worth more than you ever imagined and that ultimately you will be better than OK, you will be GREAT!
There are not enough words to say thank you to Dr. Scinta and her staff for all they have done for me! I can also tell you that it was by pure chance I found Dr. Scinta, but in the end it was Dr. Scinta who found me and brought me back to a life worth living for!
Kat – 16 lb. weight loss
Posted: Jul 12 in Patient Results by Wendy Scinta
My name is Kat and I am 15 years old. When I was younger I realized that I was a little different from the other girls in my school. I was overweight and had to go to the school based health clinic more frequently to check on my high cholesterol problem. I am very self-conscious about the way I look and the way my body looks. So after trying different things and playing multiple sports the NP at the school clinic suggested that I go see Dr. Scinta.

Posted: Jun 21 in Patient Results by Wendy Scinta
Thanks to Dr. Scinta and her wonderful staff my weight is now approaching 200 pounds, my body fat percentage is getting close to being in the healthy range, my blood pressure is normal, as are all my other levels. I am now able to play with my kids without being out of breath and sweating. My kids keep asking when my diet is going to be over. I tell them my diet ended in December and this is my new lifestyle. My lifestyle has had a positive impact on my family as well. My boys are more aware of the food they eat and are making healthier choices to be like their Dad and my wife has started to workout as well.

Obesity is my normal. I grew up in a family where everyone was overweight and no one really talked about it. It was not condoned, but it was accepted. To me, obesity was just an inconvenience.
And then, life hit me. I had gone to college, gotten married, and enjoyed life very much. When I “grew up”, I realized that I wanted a family. With my chosen career path as a Labor & Delivery nurse, I knew that my weight was a major risk factor to a healthy pregnancy.
