Surgeon Testimonial

Katherine A. Morgan, MD
Dr. Katherine Morgan will be my surgeon. I've heard great things about her. I have met her, following the Risks and Benefits lecture back in October 06, but it was a brief meeting. She is young, it's true...and I did go there assuming that Dr. Byrne would be my surgeon (as I was aquainted with a couple of his patients)...so it set me back a bit to learn that they intended another surgeon to handle my case. While it was a brief discussion with Dr. Morgan, I was impressed with her professionalism and compassion. They were packed that day in the clinic...racing from one patient to another. But Dr. Morgan and her staff gave me as much time as I needed, and I appreciated that. In addition, I feel she was instrumental in getting my surgery approved through BCBC of Illinois when she worked to facilitate a peer-to-peer review with the BCBS physician-reviewer. I go for my pre-op on March 1st and surgery on March 5th, so I'll be able to add more about aftercare and overall rating after that point.rn

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

Mini-goal #2 reached (and PASSED....!)
posted on 7/17/07 12:41 pm
VICTORY!  Weigh-in on Monday, 7-16, went well; I passed my original goal of 233, and even reached my re-adjusted goal of 229...just barely, tho.  It was 229 on the button.  That's a total of 61.6 lbs down since March 5th.  

So now I look ahead to the next weigh-in in 13 days, on 7-30-07.  MY goal is 223...THEIR goal is 226.  As of this morning (Tuesday, 7-17), the scales say I am at 228.5...so that's a little less than 1/2 a pound per day.  I think I can do it.

Rough day today...really rough day.  Lots of negativity from some of my family.  I try not to let it get to me...and I do pretty well with that...for the most part.  But today, I think it got to me.  It was like a roadside ambush or something.  Even tho I sat there telling myself that I don't  have any place for that sort of baloney in my life, I could still feel my cheeks burning and I couldn't put it out of my mind.  I guess some people just take joy in making others feel badly.

It's my birthday today and my wonderful husband has promised to take me out to dinner.  Every day...and especially days like this...I thank God for bring him into my life!
