Surgeon Testimonial

Tallal Zeni
I just love Dr Zeni and the staff at Michigan Bariatric Instute...Everyone has been awesome,the nurses at St Marys on 5East are so cool as well...I am so happy i Chose Dr Zeni.He is very understanding and very careing about his patients. It is so hard to find a Dr that really cares ..I would recomend Dr Zeni to anyone considering surgery.

Well here it is 1 week later .Things seem to be getting a little better.I am able to get some stuff done without to much pain..I am starting to slowly get into the bed and sleep a few hours,altho i still have a hard time trying to push myslef up out..I have started stage 2 eating which is full liquids...Much much better..lol...I have been walking more and more and getting further and further,which is helping the gas move out..My husband is just the best,he has supported me thru this whole thing..i just love him..well that's my story for now.

Can't sleep
on July 4, 2008 8:04 pm

Well here it is july 4th and still can't sleep a full night and can't sleep in my bed yet..It's to hard and hurts to get out of it...sooo..i sleep in the recliner.

and only get about 1 hr or maybe 2 hours a sleep ..Starting to think i made a mistake getting this surgery..I wanted to get healthy and start anew...but..this pain hurts so bad and i wish i could get sleep in MY BED!.. Taking the pain meds helps a little...but it doesn't kill all the pain..I didn't know i used so many tummy muscles to do stuff...getting real depressed..wonderin how many more days will i have to deal with this pain and start to sleep in my bed..
