Surgeon Testimonial

Bernadine Hanna M.D.
Dr. Bernie Hanna is wonderful! He has a great personality and sense of humor. His surgical competence is remarkable and he has a great bedside manner. You definately can tell he truly cares about his patients. It's not often you find a doctor who takes the time to answer all your questions and make sure you are comfortable with your surgery and the lifestyle changes that are needed to be successful. His office staff are always friendly and extremely helpful. He has support group meetings every other month which I find quite informative and helpful. Meeting Dr. Hanna and his staff has truly been a blessing!

    Hi everbody! I'M FINALLY HOME and taking my seat on the LOSER'S BENCH! WOO-HOO!! Surgery was 11/3 and it went perfectly. It started a little late, but my doctor said it was perfect without any complications. The only real issue was that I was scheduled to come home yesterday, but they kept me because my oxygen was a little low and they wanted to test for bloodclots in my lungs or legs, but none were found. I just need to expand my lungs by doing deep breathing excercises for the next week. OH, but there WAS AN INCIDENT at the hospital.. One of the nurses brought me my meds the day after surgery in tablet form and when I told her it should be smashed she kept insisting that it was ok and to take it.. so be being "trusting" went ahead... luckily it didn't hurt me, but it felt stuck for quite some time.... Needless to say, my doctor and the director moved her to some other dept. geesh!!

8 Weeks Post Op & doing GREAT!
posted on 12/30/09 8:14 am

Hi Everyone!

I hope everyone had a FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS!  I went home to Chicago for a couple of weeks. The weather was 'FUNKY' but I was with family and friends and that's what made it all GREAT!

I know I haven't posted in quite a while. But, I had some minor problems post op which caused me not to feel very well, but I PRAISE GOD that I'm doing much better now. AND, I've lost 41 POUNDS as of today!   WOO-HOO!!!

I posted a couple of pictures of me pre op and another showing my weight loss.  I plan to post a new pic every 2 months. I have alot more energy and I'm doing way better getting in my protein shakes and liquids. I still have a little trouble with nauseousness, but it's way better than it was. I think I just need to focus on eating S-L-O-W-E-R. (smile).

Well, gotta run. I hope everyone has a Safe, Happy & SKINNIER New Year!
