Surgeon Testimonial

Charles Mosse, M.D.
Brilliant guy, easy going. Very concerned to make sure I had all the information before making any decisions.

I mean what on earth is a surgeon doing with a personality :-)

By reputation is a very good surgeon, look forward to providing a first hand update.

Met with my surgeon the other day
on March 30, 2008 1:41 pm
Was discussing the endoscopy and stretch and that a number of people done recently seem to be in the same boat.. ie strictures.

At which point he said "Oh, we didn't end up doing the stretch, just the camera was enough to resolve the twist..."

Wow huh...

Anyway I explained my theory that the smaller bougie combined with over-sewing was causing the twist.. he was interested in the theory but didn't commit one way or the other.

Malnutrition... really...???
on March 3, 2008 10:03 pm
Sorry to bring up yet another spooky topic, but thought it best to share...

My diet has never been good... but recently with a huge workload its gotten considerably worse.. and more recently I ran out of vitamins and not enough time to get to the shops.. then I got the flu..

Anyway you get the idea...

So this morning I noticed today that my hair had gone really.. hmm weird.. sort of thick and brittle and I was really starting to feel average. Me thinking its all just the flu..

Well after some research I'm pretty sure I've hit the early stages of malnutrition...!!!

Now no one should be worried about this.. really its dead easy to avoid.. I've just gotten carried away with life and its easy to resolve.. back to drinking 2-3 glasses of vegy juice a day and vitaims etc.

Right now there isn't any major impact and no long term damage... but I'm lucky I caught the early symptoms.

So just wanted to warn my sleve bothers and sisters to stay vigelent...!! With the small amount we eat we need to make sure we make the right choices.

Anyway, back to my corner..

Matt
