Surgeon Testimonial

Jamie Loggins MD.
I saw his picture in the local paper advertising a informational meeting. Liked his face, what can I say. So, I went, sweating, short of breath, couldn't go in, walked around, then wnet in....hey, wasn't the biggest girl there, phew.rnHe was informative, abit cool, but warmed up, was so proud of his program and staff, and just made me feel like if he felt that way about them, how does he feel about his patients.rn Everything was explained at length and throughly, with a 40 minute video that went through all the stages with real people, and then Dr, Loggins had invited 2 graduates to be available, and also, wheich I foulnd interesting, a plastic surgeon to speak about the afternath of drastic weight loss. They were not dodging any subject and I was impressed. But I have to say, the plastic surgeon did not make it sound great, even repairs.Disfiguring scars came up , alot!rnCalled my PCP the next day and asked for a referral. Hasn't been done yet, but Monday, then I don't know how quickly they respond...so, here I go.rnrnI met with the team yesterday, haven't met the nutritionist, yet, but to a person, they were so supportive and informed. Wow.rn

Pre-op
posted on 3/25/08 5:53 am
So I am off to my pre-op appointments, meeting with surgical team and then hospital for blood work and chest xray. My DH is going with me since he missed my NUT appointment. He wants to meet the surgeon. I don't know why I am not more nervous about this, wel, wait a minute, yes I do, I have researched, talked, and prayed about this for 3 years and I am at peace with my decision, Just yesterday my co-worker/friend said "oh Kate I just am so sorry it has come to this, that you have to have surgery to control yourself." Huh, I thought I had convinced her that the control comes now, I am taking control over this piece of my life that I have abused so much in the past that it cannot do as I ask anymore without help. Well, I know why and I know the hows, alot of the maybes and a couple of whats. So, onward I go.
Oh, and I wanted to remind myself of something here...When DH took those pics for my befores...I have body dysmorphia in the opposite way, I think I look better that I actually do, so picture taking is going to really be my measure in some part, more than the scale.
