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.

Week #29 - Depressed!
posted on 9/23/08 5:17 pm
Had my 6-month appointment with Dr. Chu today, and I am disappointed in myself.  As always, my home scale shows a greater loss than the one at the office - 94.5 pounds since surgery and 107 pounds total.  Perhaps I should weigh in the afternoon instead of the morning in the nude.  Additionally, Dr. Chu gently reminded me that the things I have counted as exercise don't really count.  I need at least 30 minutes of continuous activity daily.  I knew it probably wasn't quite what I should have had, but I guess I wanted to celebrate being busy as a small victory.  I need to increase my protein intake.  For the first time, my iron is satisfactory.  I'm really down about this.  I hope to snap out of it by tomorrow.
