Surgeon Testimonial

Charles A. Svendsen, M.D.
Dr. Svendsen is my new hero :) I liked him immediately when I met him. He made me feel comfortable, he answered all my questions and the nurses love him! (That's always a good sign!)rnrnMy parents went with me to the hospital and were very impressed with him. He found them right after surgery to give them an update on me -- and he checked in with me the next day. rnrnHe told me all of the risks, he went over his record performing the surgery. I honestly can't think of a negative! From the minute I was approved, everything went smooth. Park Nicollet was a fantastic place to be -- if its possible to \"enjoy\" surgery, I have to say I did.

My Blogs
on August 8, 2009 5:53 pm
Since I already have two blogs, I can't imagine starting another here... so I'll just add links :)

-- My main blog is here: http://missmarymac.celticmoon.com - On this blog  I mostly just babble about what I'm going through after surgery, what I eat, little victories I have, fun new products I find etc.  I have a lot of information on drinks, food, vitamins, where to get samples and other stuff. I update my weight progress weekly and track my labs etc.

- Simon, my pouch has a blog too -- he's at http://pouchiepoo.blogspot.com -- this blog is more of a place to store information. I have lists of things that are good to eat at various stages, ideas on how what to mix into greek yogurt, where to find protein samples, foods to avoid etc...   I guess this is more of a reference written by a pouch :)
