Surgeon Testimonial

Pavlos Papasavas
My first impression of Dr. Papasavas was a bit distant. He was very nice, professional, polite etc. But I did not feel immediately at ease. However my opinion did change over time. I just put it to first meetings, shyness, mine and perhaps his. But I do respect his opinion and know that he means what he says and if he asks you to do something it is because it is for your best. I've got to know him better and be much more comfortable with him over the past 8 months. He is quite friendly and seems like a fun guy. His office staff for me has always been on top of things. In my 6 months preparation for surgery during my office visits I have always been waited on in a very short time. I've had only one time after surgery that my wait was a bit long. One can't complain about that. Calls have always been returned in an appropriate time frame. The support staff is great. There is so much information and knowledge from the PA, nutritionist and they have the greatest psychologist. I have found his surgical competence and beside manner both to be great. I would recommend him to others.

Update on blouse tucking.
posted on 7/29/07 7:07 am
Yes, my fear as stated has happened. LOL  I wore for the first time last Sunday a blouse tucked in.  Well it's only been a week and I've done it twice more. LOL I had said I feared that now I'll be trying to tuck everything in. :) I wore dress slacks and a blouse to work one day and tucked it in, then yesterday I wore a jean skirt with a blouse tucked in and a belt. Feels a little strange, I kept going to pull down my shirt every time I got up from sitting yesterday to adjust myself, to make sure everything (that isn't there any longer lol) was covered, and I'm thinking where is my shirt, then it would hit me that it was tucked in, no fixing needed. LOL  I think these two times that I ended up tucking things in this week was because when I got dressed and put on my slacks or skirt, I'd put on my shirt and think I looked fat.  Thought I looked bigger than I thought I was. Then I tried tucking in my blouse/shirt and was like, OK, there you are. That looks better, trimmer, slimmer. Not covered and hidden beneath flowing cloth.  My DH says Im small enough to do so, that it looks good. I asked a good friend at work to be honest and she said Yes, you can do it, you look good. And I saw my mom yesterday and asked her, it was the first time she  has seen me "tuck".  She just smiled and grinned and said yes. She is amazed at how well I have done.  So I guess I'm average enough, good enough, small enough, trim enough to tuck.  Ok, now I feel like bursting into song... "I'm a tucker, he's a tucker, she's a tucker.... wouldn't you like to be a tucker too?" LOL Anyways.... I best get moving here. Have a swim party this afternoon and need to do a few things here online and then get ready. Hope the weekends been a great one!! :)
