Surgeon Testimonial Ioannis Raftopoulos I love Dr. Raft. He is wonderful. He requires extensive preop testing, which some people may complain about...I was more comfortable with that. I wanted to know that, going into surgery, I had eliminated as many risks as possible. He always answered my questions and explained things thoroughly. His bedside manner is great. After having my surgery, while in the hospital, he stopped by my room a few times a day. When I was released from the hospital, he kept in constant contact with me...I truly appreciated this...when I wasn't feeling good and didn't want to "bother him", he was calling me anyway asking me how I was doing. Also, he gives his patients his direct pager # so there is no middleman with an answering service. I can't tell you how many times he told me to call his pager if I needed him and that I was not bothering him. I am so glad he relocated to CT. His nurse, Andrea is wonderful also - very kind, easy to talk to and responds quickly when you call her. |

It's Been 5 Months (Almost)...
Well, it's been almost five months since I had surgery. The time has flown by so quickly. My health has improved drastically and I feel wonderful. A little tired in the last few weeks...getting my labs done at the end of the month. My last set of labs came back pretty good - a little low on Vitamin A, everything else looked great. I've lost 89 lbs since surgery. I'm still amazed how quickly it falls off. Just the other day, I lost 3 lbs in one day. Yes, I'm one of those people that is addicted to the scale - i weigh myself everyday. It helps keep me on track and honest with myself. I'm wearing a size 14/16 (large in shirts). What a change from having to shop in the plus size department. I could easiy become a shopping addict :-) 0 Comment(s)
