Surgeon Testimonial

Joseph Kuhn, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Kuhn was that, well he didn't look like his picture. LOL But he reached out his hand and gave me a firm handshake and off started the consultation. He is a soft-spoken man but he knows his stuff and is very confident in what he does. His office staff so far has been nothing short of awesome. I just love those ladies!! I can't say there was anything I really didn't like about Dr. Kuhn...he isn't a man of many words but I feel completely safe with him. They have a great aftercare program set up and alot of that is taken care of already pre-op. Dr. Kennedy has already addressed the risks of the surgery which is blood clots and they are going to have me on blood thinners for a week or so to make sure that doesn't happen. When it comes to surgical competence or bedside manner...BOTH is VERY important to me and I'm sure I have my cake and eat it to with him. Overall I would rate him AND Dr. Colleen Kennedy a 10!

Gallbladder surgery update
on July 21, 2009 9:42 pm
Well I had my gallbladder surgery this morning.  It lasted about an hour or so.  My surgeon is also a WLS surgeon.  She said before going in that she was going to look over my bypass while she's in there and make sure everything looks good.  They got my gallbladder out ok.  There was a large stone stuck in my common bile duct.  My gastric bypass looked good she said and they found a hernia around the area where my intestines were attached together from my RNY.  There was a hole in the fat so she just sutured that together to prevent my intestines from going through that hole and possibly causing a bowel obstruction.  There were no complications from the surgery.  Well, after coming to, I was shaking and shivering so they gave me heated blankets and some demoral to stop the shaking.  Then once I was fully out of the anesthesia they got me out of bed and into a recliner on wheels and wheeled me into the day surgery post-op recovery area.  They said I could get ready and go home as soon as I felt like it.  I asked them for some liquid Lortab while I was in there for the pain :) LOVE THAT STUFF!!  Also, they wrote me a prescription for some pain meds in pill form.  I told them that my doctor doesn't suggest pills and to give me liquid Lortab.  They said you should be fine with the pills.  I said LOOK I'm not comfortable taking pills (that are big i'm SURE) so they re-wrote my prescription!! HAHA That's what I though! LOL  I left there, filled the prescription at the CVS in town and went by walmart and got some popsicles and soups.  Picked up the meds.  Went home.  I tried to eat some southwest corn cream soup but I wasn't up to eating (which they said just eat as I'm ready to....liquids the first day) so I took some Lortab and went and laid down and slept for about 6-8 hours waking up inbetween for more medicine :) OK so I'm done writing my novel....I'm still pretty sore so I am about to take some more medicine and go back to sleep.  All is GOOD!  Take care everyone.
