Surgeon Testimonial

John Yadegar
I first met Dr. Yadegar at the Kaiser Orientation in Panorama City. I found him to be very knowledgable and his presentation as good as the UCLA presentation I saw 2 weeks before. I decided that I would like to have him do my WLS if he could get me in sooner than UCLA.rnrnHis creditials and success rate are outstanding. He has a charming bedside manner but is very matter of fact when it comes to the possible risks. You will understand EVERYTHING before you go under the knife and if you don't- you obviously weren't paying attention.rnrnHis office staff is accessable, kind and extremely friendly. When it comes to the ins and outs of the insurance game- let me bluntly say that they know their shit.rnrnHis program- BEFORE AND AFTERCARE is Headed by Liz Roark and is by far one of the best and most detailed follow up programs available. They REALLY want you to succeed and provide all the tools to do so!rnrnOverall, I would rate the Surgeon and his office a 10 out of 10. I feel confident that I will succeed and that I the best support with the Doctor and his team behind me.

A Temper Tantrum in my HEAD
on March 30, 2008 11:53 pm
Sometimes I throw temper tantrums in my head because I get so frustrated.

I can vividly see myself on my stomach, kicking and screaming and crying until I'm exhausted...

It doesn't seem to help me or my mood- if anything, it makes it worse.

I know it's depression but it feels more like defeat. I want to fix myself in the worst way but I just seem to be stuck in a corner right now. I don't think there is anything that makes me happy at this point- except maybe my daughter and her upcoming b-day bash at DIsneyland that I cant afford.

All I do is sit and try to figure out how to make myself happy and you know what? I can't figure out what to do.

FRUSTRATING.

1 Month Out
on March 24, 2008 9:08 pm
I'm very happy with my progress!

WEIGHT: I searched for the hidden scale, found it and I am down 25 pounds! Not too shabby!

EXERCISE: This past week was exhausting and I only make it to the gym once. I did, however- walk on my lunch break and even though that's not really enough- it's something!

Food: So far, I haven't dumped at all! I have been sticking to softer foods and have discovered that sugar alcohols don't bother me at all...so I've added protein bars to my diet and that has really made a difference energy wise.

Calories: I'm getting between 600-800 a day. Closer to 700.

Protein and Water: No problems getting that in at all.

Vitamins: I take them religiously and just started my Calcium today

Side Effects:  Luckly, I've only gotten a little sick to my stomach once or twice. My hair- so far- has not started to fall out yet! I'm still REALLY tired though!


All and all- I've been really lucky!

Here Bunny, Bunny, Bunny...

Come a little closer my darling...
Your chocolatey goodness is just inches away from my first bite.
I can practically taste you now!

I shall line up all your little peep friends to watch your unfortunate-
EXECUTION...
I will....wait a second...
(somebody is telling me something)
"Go ahead....I can't masacre the bunny because why?"

Oh Yeah...I almost forgot!

Let's start this poem again- shall we?

Go away my darling..
Your chocolately goodness may in fact,
land me on the toliet all EASTER long,
For I have fought the good fight, 
and have gotten RNY,
and that alone-
my luscious, hunk of melting mayham....
has granted you a permanent STAY of EXECUTION!
We may never meet again my Contessa of Cocoa...
unless of course-
you are perhaps-
sugar-free?
