Surgeon Testimonial

Glenn M. Ihde, M.D.
When I first met Dr. Ihde I was suprised how personal he was. He spent quite a bit of time one-on-one with me during my initial consult and then almost 4 hours with me during my pre-op appointment and nutritional counseling. His staff followed his lead and have always been friendly and professional, returning emails and calls quickly. Dr. Ihde is very thorough and provides a notebook full of info and a book to read. In the notebook are shopping lists and food logs as well as a prescribed walking program. He thoroughly explained the risks and even showed a powerpoint presentation to outline and show the details. I think Dr. Ihde is an excellent bariatric doctor. I qwould give him an A+. Both his surgical competence and bed-side manner were fantastic!
I understand that a 100% positive review may be unexpected and even suspect, but it is my honest opinion of my experience.

through the eyes of others
Isn't it funny how we get so caught up in our own drama that we don't even realize what is in the mirror, much less what others are seeing.  Somehow the last couple of months I forgot to stop and smell the roses and to enjoy the here and now.  I forgot to give myself credit for the many healthy new habits that I've made.  I forgot to congratulate myself for taking control of my life.  I forgot that this is fun and it is a part of my life right now.  I don't have to wait for life to start becuase it already has!

So I'm taking a moment this morning to pat myself on the back.  I'm making a public announcement (for accountability) that I am not waiting for ______ anymore.  I don't have to get to the end of my journey to have pretty clothes that actually fit.  I don't have to wait till I am at goal before I take the time to put on some make-up and feel girly.  I don't have to wait until I am at goal before I get out of my shell and have some fun.  I had the best time primping for the conference this past weekend so I'm going to do that every single day.  I felt better, more confident and stronger and I deserve that feeling all of the time.  I've got a new lipstick in my purse.  I've got my nails buffed to a high shine, I used some frilly smell good lotion this morning that I'd been saving for who knows what and I dressed in something that actually fits instead of the oversized clothes that I'd been hiding behind.  I also made  a lunch date with a co-worker and I plan to do this WAY more often that I have in the past.  Afterall I am special and I deserve the special treatment.  yeah, me!!
