Surgeon Testimonial

Laurence K. Tanaka M.D.
Dr. Tanaka is a big teddy bear! All gruff on the outside, but really warm and cuddly inside. He asked me for my medications and of course they were in my envelope on the floor. I climbed down off the exam table, showed a lot of skin as that HUGE gown fell off my shoulder, and grabbed the envelope. I tried to hand him the paper I had typed out but he said to give them to him verbally. Hmmmmm . . . He told me I HAVE to have the surgery open because of my previous hysterectomy. That's okay with me. Then he asked if I had any questions and of course I had to climb down again, show some more skin (those gowns are really something!!!) and get my question paper. He was very patient. He answered everything and said the decision would rest with "the other two." He came up to me and leaned against my shoulder as he went over the surgery and the risks. The office staff was great and I can't wait to deal with them again.

    thank you so much for the kind words regarding my recent RNY surgery. it's little pearls like that that make this very difficulty phase of the journey a little more bearable. never in my wildest dreams did i believe that i would one day salivate at the thought of pureed tuna salad. but in the grand scheme of things, this time is just a pebble in my shoe. this too shall pass. i cannot wait to sit beside you on the loser's bench :) you look fabulous by the way. my hat is off to you m'lady. well done *clap clap*

 Please keep in mind that while most of the entries are joyous, some of these entries are painful to admit even to myself, let alone share publicly with others. But I feel that the benefit of sharing my journey with you--the good and the bad--far outweigh any embarrassment or shame that may (and probably will) occur. So I hope that you will read on with an open heart and an open mind. I am really glad that you stopped by to read up on my journey. As you read through my weight loss journal and experience the joys of WLS and weight loss with me, I hope you will drop me a line to let me know how you are doing.
