Surgeon Testimonial

Uyen Chu, M.D.
Initially, I was referred to Dr. Stevens; however, he was out ill and I met with Dr. Chu. My first impression was neutral. I have received high accolades from many about Dr. Chu and her expertise. No complaints about her care. A member of my bookclub works with her in the OR as a surgical nurse, and she feels Dr. Chu is a leader in her field. She told me that if she had to choose, she would choose Dr. Chu. The office staff are cordial and very knowledgable. She answered all of my questions appropriately and knowledgably. Surgical competence, for this kind of procedure, is foremost with me, and she has clearly demonstrated an adept hand. Her kind, gentle, calming bedside manner is an asset.

Month # 14 - Severely Off-Track
on May 3, 2009 11:57 am
     OK.  So, I only lost 3 pounds between December 2008 and March 2009.  OK.  I will get back on track soon before my 18-month window is up.  I feel better about myself in so many ways, and I feel good in general.  I know that I am pretty and attractive.  God has given me a new lease on life.  Now, if I can just stay away from carbs, I'll be OK!   My hair is starting to shed a little again, letting me know that I have slacked off on getting my daily protein.  I'm going to start taking A/G Pro again. 
     Cardio is probably the key for me, and it is what I like least; but I made this commitment to myself, even if I allowed myself to get lazy and lapse into old eating habits.  I met with the dietitian last month and discovered that I am nervous about moving home this month, so I've been turning to food again.  I thought I was done with these kind of issues long ago!  She suggested I see a therapist specializing in compulsive overeating.  Sometimes I'll eat something that I know will make me sick out of sheer greed or mental anguish.  I cannot continue to deal with my problems this way.  I mustn't challenge my pouch by overeating when I feel full.  And I have to stop drinking with my meals.  This is such a hard habit to develop.  Keep me in your prayers.
