Surgeon Testimonial

Kimberley Steele
I have been very impressed with Dr. Steele and the staff at John's Hopkins. I must admit the first time that I met Dr. Steele I was a little worried about my husband and I's choice of surgeons. The first meeting was tough and she was tough on us. Looking back now, I know that she just wants to make sure that you are prepared and succeed at this surgery. It was a little longer process than I thought it would be as we had some hang ups with other appointments. I had by surgery on 2/15/11. Dr. Steele was wonderful. She had a great bedside manner. She took time to spend with me when she visited me both days after my surgery until I was discharged. We talked over some concerns that I would have coming home. I would highly recommend anyone in the area that can use John's Hopkins and Dr. Kimberley Steele as their surgeon, to do so. In speaking to others that have used this practice, Dr. Steele has the best success rate of all the surgeons in the practice. I know that I will succeed with this surgery and that Dr. Steele will be there every step of the way to support me.

1 Week Post Op
posted on 2/22/11 6:29 am
Well it has been officially 1 week since surgery and things are going good. I am still swollen and my abdonmin is still oddly shaped, but I am feeling good. I have not tried regular clothes yet, still sticking with jogging pants(which are way too big) and loose T shirts. I can't wait to get into a pair of jeans to feel normal again. I weighed myself this morning for my first official weigh in and I weighed 184.2, a loss of 9.8 lbs in 1 week. I know that for some people that isn't that much and they lose more, but I don't have as much to lose as others. I am very happy with this weigh in. I realize that I will probably never see another week like this again and need to prepare myself for that. I am happy that today I can start my pureed diet. I am looking forward to having a scrambled egg with cheese.
