Surgeon Testimonial

Keith Chung
I think I'm in love with my surgeon...ha! No really, he is just Awesome. When I had my consult I thought I didn't have enough time with him and wasn't quite sure how I felt about him doing my surgery. He answered my questions well but he seemed to be in a hurry. I have a couple of friends who had their surgery peformed by him and I read his background information, asked his staff MANY questions and statistics don't lie. rnrnOver the next couple of visits, I gained an entirely new perspective of him. He's driven. He's professional. And the times I needed it the most, he was compassionate. rnrn

Well, I had a rough week last week with this pre-op diet (Atkins).  The surgeon would like me to loose around 20 lbs. before surgery and by his scales it showed a 2 lb. loss yesterday (OUCH).  I was told to get going with the diet because we don't have a lot of time left before surgery (12 days) and I need to loose that weight.  So as of yesterday, I'm back on the ball with my Atkins...then in a week I have to start the liquid diet in preparation for the surgery.

Right now I have a miserable cold.  My family and I have all been so sick since we moved here.  It seems like one of us is sick at all times.  I'm getting really annoyed with it, then my neighbor told me that the people who lived in this house previously were sick a lot too.  I'm starting to wonder if we have a mold issue in this house.  It would not surprise me in the least.  I need to look into doing some testing with that.  I mean, we moved from Alaska where we spent three years and we were rarely sick.  We had the occasional bug but nothing like what we're experiencing here.

I need to start looking into some protein drinks.  I don't want to spend a ton of money on a million different kinds.  I think I'll look online and order a few samples to try.  My dh has one he uses to get buff and it has a lot of sugars in it so I don't think that will work for me.  There is a little tree huggerish nutrition store in town, I might go see what they've got there.  Other than that there's walmart.  I stopped at the Vitamin Shop in Houston last week and they said the only store in LA is in New Orleans, which is like six hours away.  Of course!  LOL.,

My surgery is scheduled for 19 days from today!  The process has moved along much quicker than I anticipated.  Right now I am doing Atkin's (which I absolutely deplore!).  I eat meat and green stuff, cool.  Anyways, I've started browsing some of the message board forums on OH and I stumbled upon a post about the memorial page.  Naturally I ventured on over and proceeded to scare the crap out of myself.  UGH.  I am well aware of the risks involved with this surgery but reading those blogs really got to me.  So by the time my husband got home from work I was in a frenzy.  I'm probalby driving him bonkers with all of the "what ifs" and whining.  He is great though, he always knows just the right things to say to me.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE him!
