Surgeon Testimonial

Paul Cirangle, M.D.
I had an excellent overall impression of Dr. Cirangle. I just had my initial consultation and he was wonderful. He took time not only to discuss the procedure and the aftercare but to answer all of the questions that I had. He also emphasized that he and his staff are available for me pre- and post-op. I really appreciate that level of accessibility. He seems to care about his patients and their outcomes. He comes across as being very personable but is also very realistic about what to expect and what not to do if you want to make your surgery a success. I am still a bit overwhelmed with the information and the overall process- I was given a huge packet that goes into the surgical risks, benefits and post-op plan. rnrnThe only negative was that he was running nearly an hour late for the appointment. However, the staff was great about keeping me updated and he apologized for keeping me waiting. Sometimes doctors do have emergencies which cause them to run late, so I was pretty ok with it.

Moody
posted on 6/11/09 3:46 am
Ugh... i feel like such a Moody Myrtle these days!  I've been crying for no reason and feel generally de-motivated.  Well, actually my mood is wavering a bit.  I want to "get going" and get things done but hours later, I tend to crash both mood and energy-wise.  I don't know if it's hormones- I'm ovulating and my PCOS seems to need tending to.  :/  Or stress... I've got plenty of that on my plate.  Or the meds I've been on for back pain.  :/  Also, the scale seems to finally be moving down but that means all that estrogen is now running through my bloodstream!  Ugh!  Can I scream now?

Seriously, I need to make some appointments for follow-up.  I need to see an endocrinologist to get my hormone levels checked; I haven't done that since before my surgery.  I need to start physical therapy for my back.  I need to begin the process of meeting with plastic surgeons and seeing what my insurance will cover.  I'm also in therapy for my mood issues and body image issues.  This surgery is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be, both mentally and physically! 

On the mental front, I had a breakthrough today.  I think I've kind of been slowing my weightloss on a subconscious level recently for several reasons.  I don't know if I'm mentally "ready" to be at goal.  I know it sounds silly, but I think a part of me just isn't ready to give up everything I've held onto for so long.  Silly, but that's why I'm seeing a therapist I guess.  And I think a part of me is just plain tired.  I don't wanna play anymore.  2 surgeries in less than a year.  Crazy hormones and mood swings... it's a lot to go through.  I'm just trying to take time to honor that and let my subconsious heal b/c on the conscious level, I am very aware that I still have 30 pounds left to lose. 

Enough ranting for tonight.  :P
