T. Paul Singh, M.D. Dr. Singh was amazing. Giving me more time than I could have imagined. He explained that doing the surgery on me would be no problem, however, he did express a great deal of concern about my history of dvt's & being coombs+. He scheduled a date for me, but will consult with my dr and the hematologist prior to my next meeting with him 12/4. He wants to plan a post operative plan for me with regard to my problems and potential complications.
I found him attentive and caring. He was very honest and sincere. I appreciate his preparing me for possibly not be able to have this surgery if no viable post operative plan can be safely arrived at.
Obviously he is concerned as much if not more about aftercare than the actual surgery. He truly earned my utmost respect.
His office person (Debbie) was friendly and warm. She gave me a list of a couple of things I need to provide and a number and invitation to call her if I needed anything else.
1/4/05 - Dr Singh said all is a go and is going to talk with hemotology and make a decision about filter. He will follow up (both had vacations during the holidays)with me if I need to have it done.
2/11/05 - Dr. Singh was so caring and wonderful throughout all of my complications. I am confident that all of the complications were just my body. Had I had a lesser surgeon I am not sure I would be here to tell about it.
Dr. Singh is caring, gives you all the time to answer questions. Explained everything to me and my family. Amazing to me was that when he wasn't in the hospital he was on the phone so often. He really kept on top of everything. I can not imagine the hours he must put in.
I love him, thank him and highly recommend him.

Hello Mary
J~~~~WELCOME to the
lighter side of
life. Sit back,
adjust your seatbelt
and breathe deeply.
This will be the
journey of a
lifetime. What a
special gift you
have given yourself.
A brand new
healthier and
happier lifestyle
awaits you!! Wishing
you all the very
best and may all
your dreams come
true!! --
My husband, Jonathan
and I went to see
Mary J today. She
is still
in the hospital one
week after her
bypass surgery. She
had
some problems with
blood clots in her
stomach. This
resulted in
a couple of staples
popping. Dr Singh
had to do more
surgery
to fix the problem.
She is still in ICU
but as soon as they
have a
bed for her on the
sixth floor she will
move out of ICU.
Her
spirits are good.
She would love to
have some company.
Mary
tells me she expects
to be out by
Thursday. She hopes
to stop
down to the St
Peter’s support
group Tuesday night.
She
especially
appreciated the well
wishes from the
group and all
those who sent then
via the Internet.

July 2007 Well life sure can get busy! I am in NY and have finished seeing all of my various doctors. Everyone is very pleased.
Dr. Michalek from Albany Clinical Nutrition said all blood work is normal. See her again next year.
Gynocologist said all is well and she is thrilled with my success from the WLS. Also said Dr King (plastic surgeon) must have been a seamstress and artist in his previous life. She was awed by his work.
No more visits to Dr. King needed as all is healed well and I have no plans for any more plasstics, however, he said I was welcome to stop by and visit anytime. He took final pictures.
Dr Singh, WLS Surgeon said all is well and stop back next year. He is pleased as well.
Next week I see the cardiologist and expect the same as I also saw a cardio in Fl efore I came North. Just routine follow up there.
Maintaining well and having no problems. Still occasionally get a little ill if I eat to fast, bad food choices, etc. The pouch still reminding me and doing the job it is intended to do.
I have to watch the scale as now I am ale to eat more and temptations are always around. I try to weight in weekly.
Going back home to Fl sooner than planned as my friend is having GBS in August and I want to be with her for it. I am anxious to get back home to Fl.
Planning a cruise with my husband, sons and a few friends in Jan. I will really have to make wise choices there I know how cruise ships are with constant meals.
Well I am now 30 months post op and still totally amazed with the results I have achieved. Still pinch myself to make sure I am not just dreaming. Life is so perfect I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop lol.
Hugs to all for now
MJ
