Gregg Jossart, M.D. Had my surgery on the 27th of March. I love this Doc. Not only is he a very skilled surgeon, his bedside maner is fabulous. How nice it was after many years of being treated as a second class citizen to work with Dr. Jossart, who talked to me like he believed I was an intelligent woman! He visited me both days in the hospital, then made an appointment for me to see him before I left San Francisco. He puts a lot of stock in the aftercare program and following his orders. Overall, I would rate him a 100 out of 100. By the way, this surgeon will answer an email within 24 hours, usually 12. Hospital staff like and respect him, especially the nurses, always a good sign.
Janet, I'll
practically be there
holding your hand.
Our surgeries will
be uneventful and
it'll be the best
decision we've ever
made for ourselves.

I've now lost somewhere between a bale of hay and a 5000 BTU air conditioner! Better yet, I've also lost:
-Much of the pain in my knees
-The need to take 3 medications for diabetes
-The lack of ever feeling full
-The guilt I used to feel every time I ate anything
-The need to use food to sooth all ills
-The compulsion and constant thinking about my next meal
-The feeling sorry for myself at parties
-The need for a seatbelt extender
-The shame of moving in a joyful way
-The desire to minimize each and every step I take
-The need to eat at night before bed
-The shame of not feeling in control
-The desire to eat potatoes, rice and breads
-My inability to look in the mirror and see someone I like
-My desire for very large very long shirts to cover my butt and stomach
-My sense of myself as a failure
