Surgeon Testimonial

John George Zografakis
I realy like Dr Z's straight forwardness.
My impression of him has accualy gotten even better, twice now ive gotten to talk to him and both times i have been treated with dignity and respect, like a person.
there isn't anything i don't like about him.
Dr. Z deffinately knows what he is doing, his knowledge is a bit overwhelming, but in a good way, he talks to you, not "through you" like some Drs i have had do..
After care is very important and all of the people in the office make sure you realy understand that.
Just like any other surgeon has to me.. there are risks and he wants you to know that, he was very good with that and my husband now understands what im afraid of.
I would rate Dr Z on a scale of 1-10.. it would be a 10
Surgical compentence is above all the best thing a surgeon can have, but if there isn't a bedside manner than in my opinion people might perseeve the surgeon is only in it for money.. both compentence and bedside manner are very important to me.
And so far Dr Z seems like he has both qualities.

    Monday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Ok i have just figured out that I have to post in my "blog" spot.. instead of "editing" my story..lol ha im such a blond at times.. yes i was born a toehead blond and i like it.. (it give me an excuse at times) lol :O)
Ok now for the blog part.. im getting nervous because i start the Optifast on Monday for two weeks and we are leaving for Florida on the 31st.. I will be fine with the food until Saturday when the family all gets together for lunch.. So if anyone reads this and can give me tips on how to handle my self for one day with the family at a very nice resturant in Orlando.. I have never been to Florida.. heck i have never been out of Ohio for a vacation like this in my life.. not even as a kid...I went to Niagara Falls for two day 9 yrs ago.. so thats about it.. all the other times ive been out of ohio it was for band compititions and it was only to one of the boarding states and right back to ohio we came.. so this will be an experience of a lifetime for me.
Ok now im going to go...
God bless all
