Surgeon Testimonial

Daniel Fang, M.D.
I first spoke with Dr. Fang at the seminar at St Lukes, but had already heard wonderful things about him. Two co-workers had him as a surgeon. He is soft spoken and his empathy shines through. My center Manager died after surgery and that scared the B-Jesus outta me.rnI later found that she had a history of genetic heart disease and that was the reason for her death. She knew the odds going in, and that was her decision to make.rnI will have my consultation with Dr. Fang on August 8th, and check back in with youse guys then.rnDr. Fangs honesty and willingness to talk about the fatalities as well as the sucess numbers puts me in the \"yes\" mode.rnI am 406 pounds, down from 421 oi vey!!!rnMy insurance company is doing what they call a pre-determination with me, I suspect this will cut down on the red tape, yet, being over 50, I have many tests ahead of me.rnI only found out a month ago what my true weight is...I have been in a state of shock since then. I know I can not go on this way.

knee replacement and alone-ness
on August 9, 2009 2:47 am
I should be getting my surgery date next week. I have no one here now. I have no friends as I have been basically a shut-in,except for dragging myself to work,and going through one illness to the next one.
My Pookie will be alone,and I feel badly for this. I could no longer bend to my daughter as she  became worse and so disrespectful. She has many lessons to learn.
Anyway,I shall leave Pookie's food in a feeder,and many bowls of water. If I am gone too long,I will have to ask the apartment manager to check on her. She has pads and a special place to go,but she will probably be so mad that I will have messes.
I hate leaving my baby alone,she is my best friend. I pray to all benevolent forces to get me in and out,for my baby.
I will tell my brother who lives in New Mexico,if I die,to ask the manager to take my dear Pookie,and I am leaving him plenty of money to take care of her,my insurance policy...smile.
If I get permanent disability,which I should get because I will never be well again,I will move to New Mexico,and be with my brother,his family and friends.
My daughter has cost me so much,including my last marriage,which I am happy to not be in.
I always placed her first,but it was for my grandchildren,she has used this on me for years,plucking me dry.
She has never had a job for over 9 months in her entire life. They say she is bi-polar,I say she is evil.
Oh,I have lost 317 pounds.

I was always fat,however,about 6 years ago,I had to go on massive steroids to live and I got way to fat to exercise or move.
I am grateful for the gift of WLS. It is a start,but one has to do the work.

As of today, I have lost 243 pounds!! Me! I can not exercise much, and I have to take a dose of steroids everyday, yet God has blessed me.
Merry Christmas!! What a difference a year makes.
Hugs to all!

My Story

 





I am a  grandma. I love and collect Cabbage Patch kids, and Betty Boop. I also crochet and love walking, I am hoping to get my walking abilities back. Knee surgery is in the horizon after WLS. I would like to be an angel and give support to others.I also have a love of music and love to dance. I plan for dancing to be one of my main exercising and I have started...smile.  It is my wish to learn and enjoy African dance.
