Surgeon Testimonial

Morris Washington, MD
My first impression of Dr Washington was he is a very gentle man. He is a good listener, and he explained everything to me very clearly. He told me the risks of surgery, very openly and honestly, but with care. He told me he wouldn't make the decision for me, that it was a personal choice. ( I was undecided between the Lapband and Roux-N-Y Gastric Bypass. ) He said he would do either one I chose, but he would vote for the Bypass due to my \"Metabolic Syndrome\", meaning Type 2 diabetes, high cholestrol, and high blood pressure...which are all potentially fatal conditions in and of themselves.rnrnAfter seeing him a couple of times, I realized how competent and trustworthy he truely is. ..and he never rushed me or made me to feel like he was in a hurry, even though he is a very busy Doctor. I have grown to love him, and I would recommend him heartily.rnrnHis office staff is very nice and professional. There was nothing I didn't like about Dr Washington. I was just apprehensive about putting my very life into his hands because I didn't know him. I was referred to him by my PCP. But I grew to trust him. I learned about him from hospital staff, and found out how highly respected he is there.rnrnHis aftercare is greatly emphasized right from the beginning. Nutrition classes are given , and the importance of aftercare is stressed.rnI would rate him on a scale of 1-10 as a 10. His surgical competence, bedside manner and personality are terrific !

    I pray for you to have a uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. It is normal to be nervous. Just know you are doing what is right for you and everything will be OK. Trust in God and he will bring you through. Just remember that soon you will be a LOSER! Judy M

I found my new home
on June 24, 2007 8:23 am

I found a house that I love in Jackson. I am closing on Auguse 16th or maybe the first week in August. It's on an acre of land, private, quiet and big. It's an oversized ranch, with large rooms, an eat in kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, bright and sunny. It has a huge basement, dry, clean and with a high ceiling. ..everything I could want. ... A pool, a fenced in acre, no less, and on a beautiful country road. We are all thrilled about it.

I am 64 lbs down, loosing slowly but loosing. I am feeling physically good, my blood work came back fine, and my size is now 22. God is so good.

woo-hoo !!!!!!!!  60 lbs down as of today! But I spent the whole night in the ER. I was having chest pain. They checked my heart, it was fine, then the Dr considered a blood clot. I was petrified because yes, you can develop one even four months after surgery. Sent me for a CT Scan. Thank God almighty is was negative. So the diagnosis is Pluerisy. ( Infammation of the lining of the lungs) So it's bedrest , liquids, and Ibuprofen for me...for the next few days. It is Viral, so it has to run it's course. What a scare. The thought of a blood clot with pain in my chest was so scary, I prayed my brains out. And as usual God protected me. Thank you Jesus!
