Surgeon Testimonial

John George Zografakis
First Impression - Amusing.

Impression over time - Kind, caring, intelligent, re-assuring.

Office Staff - FABULOUS!

Like Least - Unwilling to learn or investigate more about bloodless surgery.

Future patients should know - he is very accomadating to your needs and wants as long as they are within his already set arsenal.

Aftercare - is stressed long before surgery and you are trained in much of it before surgery with the notice you are welcome to come back and relearn or further your education on your health.

Very structured aftercare program and lets you know they want to see you at least once a year for the rest of your life after your first years follow ups.

Risks discussed numerous times and put in writing.

How would I rate him/them overall? Ask again after the surgery.

Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great?? I am impressed with both so far. Ask again after my surgery on Monday.

Stress Test
on December 14, 2009 3:19 am
I have been under an extreme amount of stress of late.  I felt I had to turn in my own family member for child abuse, deciding to give up our home to the bank, trying to move, and all the stress that goes with that.  Food looks great to me right now.  I have decided to buck my instint and have been having small successes.  At my last weigh in last week, I had lost a total of 13 pounds.  That is 7 lower than the previous month.  I am still fighting with the stress but trying very hard not to let it beat me down.   Jehovah is my rock and I will serve him eternally.  Thanks for listening.

A Loss 2

Wow, I had a pint of ice cream yesterday and still lost a pound.  I wonder if I will see it on my waist tomorrow.  I am under alot of financial stress right now, and it has caused a rash on my entire body.  I use to eat to feelings of stress, now I am itching to it.  I am not sure the trade off is fair.  But then again, I did lose a pound.

A Loss

I have lost another pound, well two since I have signed up on OH.  I have also reached a new goal of 19 minutes of aerobics exercise the last 2 days instead of the previous 14 minutes.  I am proud to say I have been keeping it up everyday.
