Surgeon Testimonial

Scot Currie
Dr Currie - - - was excellent. I am 5 days out and i have had no single complications. i had no pain what so ever...only gas pressure...which i magine may be just as bad....lol...but at least i didnt have pain and gas pressure. I honestly feel like he did a great job and i have faith that the new tool he has fashioned for me will work very well. Personality wise i would reate him as good. first time i met him at a support group he was very freindly. he had this sweet smile and listined to everything i had to say patiently. when i met him for my consultation he wasnt that patient. i had TONS of questions typed out and i got the vibe that he was getting irritated. He seems to be a very stright to the point kinda guy...lil cocky. When i saw him right before surgery he was nice and had that sweet smile that melts you...hehe. rnrnAll in all i would say dr currie is excellent in terms of the surgical procedure he knows his stuff...and i was comfortable trusting my life with him. he explained how the procedure worked and all the risks, their practice's complete after care program. I would give him the highest marks for surgical competence. Personality wise i would say its good...may be excellent depending on the day you catch him (however its prob same for most ppl.). Also unfortualtely he was off the weekend of my surgery so i didnt get much time to get to experience his bedside manner. rnrnDr Davidson - - - was awesome! Excellent personality. he has the best bedside manner. Dr currie my actual surgeon was off for the weekend, and he was the on call dr that weekend so he came to check on me several times. he was great. he chated with me, and made lil jokes here and there. i loved him...and ladies he is HOT!!! i have a pic of him ...but he looks even better in person and he smells great too! lol. great eye candy for a healing body. lol it was like emothional theraphy...lol. ok enough about the hottiernrnrnDr DeMarco - - - was good also he stopped by with dr davidson and parshar the first day. i didnt chat with him that much...but the lil small talk we had i think he was nice. im sure i would have liked his personality if i got to spend lil more time with him.rnrnDr Parshar - - - (the surgical resident) was great also. He checked on me ALOT. he was very friendly and careing. lil on the cockey side...but not to the point it becomes ignorant. he was sooo hot! omg...lol. rnrnOther residents - - -there were other residents that came one time with dr davidson. One came one time on his own. they were very nice. cant remember their name cause i didnt see them that much.rnrnDr Wigger - - -He is nice and very knowladgable. i saw him during my initial consultation and my final apt before my surgeryrnrnTheir office staff - - -leave alot to be desired. i am not happy or satisfied with the way they relate to me as a patient. You get put on hold ALOT, issues are usually not resolved on time, they often have attitudes like your bothering them etc... I feel they are understaffed. This being said i would just advise a pre op to be aware and decide what is really important to them. The surgeons and the in house doctor are excellent. However, most ppl reserch only the surgeon but the staff is just as important even if not more beacuse you only see the surgeon 2ice and about few more times after surgery. majority of your dealings are with staff.rn

Post vacation update
on July 23, 2008 10:33 am

Ive been going though alot. I was having touble loosing and when i lost i would gain it right back. It was VERY hard but im slowly getting back on track. I am more cautious about what i eat. i also try to stop my self when im not hungry insted of when im stuffed or full.

I had been having alot of problems with anxiety. I have so much stress from school, work and just genaral everyday life. i am also dealing with that. I have gotten back into theraphy, and im taking meds to help me. I share my story beause if anyone is going through anxiety or depression i want to let you know its ok to go and get help. Your not crazy even if u feel that way...alot of ppl have similar issues and dont admit it or just dont properly deal with it. Often times in the black community we do not deal well with mental ilness. Please feel free to email me and talk if you want.

I just came back from vacation in tampa florida. It was great. I had an excellent time. My cousin and i went to the beach, took a cruise out the gulf and saw a pack of dolphins in their natural habitat, we went to a tampa bay rays baseball game and saw MC Hammer in concert after the game, we saw Tommy Davidson, and visited Ybor city and of course hit up Bush garden africa. We did a lot and i had a great time.

Im not where i wanted to be at this point in my journey but im somewhere and thats what matters. I was able to get on the rides without any problems. i looked good in my 18/20 swim suit and i had a great time.

Its back to my reality now. im trying to take the lessons of relaxation and sanity that i got from my vacation into my everyday life. XOXO

Detoxing Day 1
on June 23, 2008 11:41 am
Ok so today is the first day of my detox or get right with my pouch eating plan. Its gonna be a hybred of the 5 day pouch test. I am just taking it day by day, hour by hour.

B-protein shake, iron, multi vit and b12

S- 2peice SF chocolate

L- stuffed cabbage lean cusine ate all the cabage and couple bites of the potetoes

S- sf irish cream hard candy

W- ive had 1 20oz bottle of water and sipping on the 2nd one now


So far im doing good. i should have stayed away from the candy. infact my tummy is rumbling a little. im noticing i dont dump heavily, however my tummy is upset for a while. 

Also i feel hungery, the stuffed cabage didnt fill me. im used to eating until im stuffed and i have that empy feeling. ok im not hungery hungery, but i just have that empty feeling and it feels to me like hungery.  to curb that ive been trying to drink water. i am sipping on my 2nd 20oz bottle that i mixed with cherry pomegranate crystal light. 

Im gonna keep trying to occupy my mind to keep me from eating. i do have a yogurt and a sf pudding in the fridge so if i get too too hungery ill eat one of those. 

5.pm Small salad with egg (i was so hungery)...it was actually hunger that time.

7pm animal crackers

10.30 4oz rosted chicken

12am 2 packs mni rice cakes



Note to self- ok did good up until dinner. i need to figure out a way to eat enough and not go crazy in the evenings. i also need to go to bed earlier to help control my late night snacks. 

goal- try to incorporate lessons from today into tomorrow. think of more filling high protein snacks to have in between. stay away from the candy and crackers. if you must one pack of snackie food ie rice cake or animal crakers...but try to stay away from them. 

also up your water and take your calcium
