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.

The Nerve
on January 22, 2009 4:16 pm
I can't believe I actually had someone SAY these words to me. I'm floored to say the least...let's start from the beginning.

My ex-bf is a chubby chaser. He has always expressed his concern as to how much weight I could potentially lose. Now that I'm down almost 200 lbs., things are getting interesting. From the sweet city of Chicago, my ex is trying to control me. We have talked about getting back together again many times but sinces he's THERE and I'm HERE- nothing is really coming of it. WIth that said, the conversation I had today went along the lines of- (this is the Reader's Digest Version) "I don't like women smaller than an 18 (I'm bordering on a 16)," "I hope that you don't lose anymore or else we're finished (weren't we finished when you chose to bang someone else?),"" If you get plastic surgery, they'll cut off like- 20 lbs so if you hit your goal of 145(ish), you'll actually end up being 120 which is too small for me."

..are you kidding me? Seriously? Like- I understand that people have preferences but you know me! You supposedly love me. Doesn't my health AND happiness mean ANYTHING to you?

SO I told him- "Well- we'll see where my body wants to stay. If you don't get to keep your GF at least you'll have a healthy friend."

What I should have said was- "Fuck you Dude. Love me or leave me you SANCTIMONIOUS BASTARD!" After all the hard work and sacfice I've made trying to become "normal" you're trying to undo it?" You know what? Kiss my ass! Get your act together, get a job, get yourself healthy, stop hitting the bottle and maybe- just maybe we can talk about being together REGARDLESS of my size! WHAT AN ASSHOLE!
