Surgeon Testimonial

Francis W. Teng, M.D.
Dr. Teng is extremely informative and thorough!!rnI always say it's \"Teng's way or NO WAY!!!\". He starts off by telling every patient that they must be committed to his program or they can find a different surgeon.I have heard a few patients say that they feel like he's talking down to them. He's very adamant on how things will be done. He's one awesome surgeon!!rnGoing for my last appointment next Weds. and he warned me that he will be giving me a test(routine).He'll be asking about RNY and if he feels I don't have a total understanding he won't hesitate to push back surgery date! Last chance to weigh in(I've lost quite a bit this last month)any patient who hasn't lost at least 5% weight WILL GET their surgery delayed until they have! He's tough but he tells everyone that you're committed to HIS program the first 2 years post op.rnHis brother Dr.V.Teng is anesthesiologist on all of his cases.rnTheir sister,Tina, is an RN who runs their hectic office!rnHis asst. surgeon Dr. B. Hanna is a friend of mine who has been trying to get me in the OR for 3 years! When Tina called me and said I was approved;I called Bernie and said \"You and I have a date on Dec 6th\" He was excited as I was.rnDr Teng's program is intense and requires commitment but he tells patients that on their very first visit. He does 2 hour seminar/month for people looking into surgery. Every patient must attend his seminar first. He and Dr. Hanna hold the monthly support meetings. He is VERY involved with every aspect. Like I said earlier...\"It's Teng's way or no way!!!\"

Lighting a Candle... I MIGHT have found an...
on August 28, 2010 9:15 pm
All I've been doing in my blog posts the past few months is been WHINING about my lack of will power and eating more CRAPPY CARBS!! I'm making the conscious effort to put the brakes on these behaviors.

OK I started doing something about a week ago...(it has to do with my afternoon snack) and OMG...WOW...what a difference. And NO I'm NOT sharing what I changed/found just yet...I want to give my little unscientific experiment a little more time before sharing

DO NOT TRY TO BRIBE IT OUT OF ME...WON'T WORK. I want to continue this "project" of mine til mid September and THEN I'll reveal what I've done AND IF it is the answer to end my CRAPPY CARB tangents.

WE Control our own DESTINY!!!!!
on August 6, 2010 7:25 pm
WOW!!!!!! Yet another news flash?????? Of course...we control our DESTINY!!!! So why why why do I sabotage my efforts a GREAT deal of the time???

Seriously...there is NOT one food that I need and would DIE without getting it!!! So why do I need the 30 seconds of gratification from eating that chocolate bar(not even THAT good!!!). Today I was having one of my overly snacky days...DAMN IT!!!!!  I actually fixed some edamame and know what...it was GOOD and it satisfied the hunger(probably head hunger) BUT...what a much better choice than crappy carbs!

So once again...ASS please evict my head from it's current residence(up you) and make it return to it's rightful home...screwed on straight on my shoulders.

OK so the conscious effort to better food choices has begun. I DO have common sense...HELLLLLO...USE IT!!!! After I master the food choices then I'll move on to stage 2...the WHOLE EXERCISING deal.

Baby Steps...Baby Steps ...Baby Steps!!!!!!!
