Peter Liao, M.D. My first impression of Dr. Liao, A Calm & cool demeanor, but yet confident with his knowledge of knowing so much about "Gastric Bypass surgery, which made me comfortable and at ease. He is very professional & organized. During my hospital stay, when he ordered certain things to be done? and "If" the hospital staff, didn't comply in a timely fashion he took, matters into his own hands, and got what needed to be done and completed, Done!! I do remember that much. He is a no- non sense type of Doctor. Dr. Liao's weight management staff is Great!! Friendly, organized pretty good, and professional. Two really smart Nurse Practitoner's Aretha & Kate. The Nutritionist, Anne is wonderful too!! even down to the greeting staff, in the weight management ctr. were friendly & nice, during my many office visits. I was extremely "Blessed" to have a Excellent weight management team, who is so knowlegable in bariatrics. What did I like least about Dr. Liao? At times he seems too rushed? What should future patients know about Dr. Liao? That "he" is is Good!! at what he does!! Dr. Liao's program does have a good after care program & he emphasize's the importantance of follow up, after "wls" The after care program seems to be very structured, although I'm just a little over a month post-op. I have a six week Post-op appt. scheduled. How did he address the risks of surgery?? Clearly & calmly. I would rate Dr. Peter Liao?? "Cream of the Crop!! His, Bedside manner is a some what serious demeanor & straight to the point, of taking care of business!! Surgical competence? "Oh He know's his stuff!!" Did I say that already?? ;-)
Pushing for Goal!!! & Stepping up my Game plan!! Can you say; "jogging" Yes!! for the month of July I'm going to step up my game with MORE!! jogging to intensify my work outs, I've been walking and a little jogging here and there for most of my "journey" but now each excercise workout will be jogging, jumping rope, hard cardio!! any thing to get my heart pumping and get through this last 30lbs. plus to lose! for the docs 1st goal, which became my 1st goal as well. I know I may have to incorperate some liquid diets in here again somewhere, but I will do whatever it takes to make it to goal!! I want my tatoo!! too. I want my "ladybug"
So old & new friends pray for me!! As I go through which seems to be for me? the hardest part of the journey is getting to "the first" goal?? Hang strong & press on!! Peace & Love!!
