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.

I'm doing OK! It's been almost 4 weeks since my hip surgery and I must say this one was more difficult then the first. The doctor had to shorten the bone and do a lot of repair while in there. But I still feel it has all been worth it, including my wls. I've had 3 surgeries in the past 10 months 2 hip and 1 wls and even though that might seem excessive I am so physically and emotionally strong these days that it really feels like a breeze to have gone through it all.
I was afraid that I might gain weight after this one but lost 3 lbs. and some more inches. I feel for the first time in my life that I have some control over what's going on instead of it controlling me. Happiness is mine for the taking and I want that more then anything else in the world today, This a journey I am more then willing to take by myself or with someone, but either way it's all mine and for once I don't have to consider how this is going to effect those around me. Selfishly it doesn't matter because this is my health and happiness.
