Andrew Hajduczek the first day I met my surgeon I thought he was so very soft spoken, but genuinely interested in me and my weight issues. I have begun to think of him as my savior over the pas 5 months since my surgery. If I hadn't done the foot work to find him I would still be miserable, ill and unhappy. The office staff has always been right on top of everything I need and any questions I might have. there is nothing that I can complain about with any of them. Dr, Hajduczek will give you the best care possible as will his staff and the hospital Chapman Medical. the after care has been the best you could ever ask for and that was real important to me. They have a facility in Orange that has meetings once a week and you get a lot of helpful information from it. I was made quite aware of any risks or problems that could result from my surgery, but also all the positive benefits. And the material books and education has been a most helpful tool in the process. I would rate him as one of the best of the best. I feel that all aspects of a phycians duties including bedside manner are very important for patients to feel at ease.

Oh the holidays To day it is only 16 days til Christmas and 8 months since my RNY and 5 weeks since my first of 2 hip surgeries, and I must say I still have the pain in my back and my left hip hurts. But it is still a lot better today then anything was 9 months ago and more. I can wakeup feeling good dispite the pain and have a smile on my face when I see my face in the mirror, and not the strangers face that use to look back at me before. I have all most all my Christmas shopping done and feel good, of course I don't have anything wrapped but I will in the next week. Even when I feel like things might be crappy something good always happens to remind me that I am so blessed in so many ways, and that God has given me so much to be greatful for every moment of my life. I need to lift up my head and thank him for all of this. Even the bummer stuff it always leads to many blessing when all is said and done.
