Surgeon Testimonial

Jay Jan
Dr. Jan is a nice doctor and he listened to my concerns about surgery. I was really nervous on my surgery day but after meeting with him in the morning I felt very relaxed and felt like I was in good hands. The surgery went well and when I saw him the next morning he basically let me decide when I wanted to leave the hospital and let me make the decisions on what I wanted to do according to how I was feeling. Great surgeon!!

My testing
on April 28, 2006 12:00 am
** April 28, 2006: I got back from Portland yestaerday after having my 2 days of testing. I was really suprised about how at ease I was with the psych test after I got going on it. The appointments with the nurse, dietician, physical therapist and psychologist went really well. When I weighted in I was down to 299 pounds and that is a 20 pound drop from 5 months ago...I was very excited because my insurance wants a 5% or more weight loss before they will approve surgery. I was also thinking the clinic would have a whole list of things for me to work on before I could go any futher in the process but the only things I needed to work on was getting fit for a CPAP machine (have to have it with me for surgery) and to continue to walk 2 miles per day to burn an extra 400 calories a day. Now my next step is to wait for all this paperwork to get dictated and sent to the surgeon's office then they will call me to set up a consultation. I am so excited...I am getting closer and closer to having the actual surgery!!!!!
