Surgeon Testimonial

James Burhop, M.D.
I met Dr Burhop the last time I went thru the process of getting approved and he was great! He was willing to explain and answer any questions I had. I go to see him this week and expect more of the same. I ran into him at a support group type meeting and he was great once again. I know my surgery will go well with this very caring and experienced doctor. I will update this after my surgery is over and I had a chance to experience his bedside manner. rn07/31/2007rnWell I had my surgery I was very happy with my doctor. He did a great job because in his words mine was a very difficult surgery because of a hernia and some scar tissue. My surgery took 4 1/2 hours where they usually take 2 1/2 to 3 hours, but overall again I was very happy with the surgeon in fact I am recommending him to my son...rn09/29/2007rnI have gone to see Dr Burhop again, and again I love him, he answers all my questions and I am happy when I leave his office because I had my problems addressed. I will always recommend him.

I'm back on top, I think...
posted on 12/6/07 4:20 am
Well I weighed myself yesterday and I lost 6 more lbs.  So total since pre-op is 78 lbs in a little less than 4.5 months.  I know I should be jumping up for joy but I feel I still have a lot of work to do with regards to my actions and mind set.  I went to see a therapist on Tuesday this week and Wednesday too and she was very insightful.  She says I am co-dependant.  I don't have any persons in my life currently that have a drinking problem but my son does like to smoke weed everyday and not with my blessing of course.  But that is not the issue either I keep on doing things for my kids that is keeping them dependant on me and I have other abusive traits like I have bi-polar which I was told I had and have been taking meds for since 2005 or so.  All of things are what is causing me to try and fail or just feel like I can't go on with regards to this surgery and many other aspects of my life.  I do feel hopeful that now that I will be getting therapy for these and other problems I been having lately and my whole life.  I guess time will tell but I am going to be positive and hopeful along the way.  Thanks for listening as usual all of my great friends here on OH...Best to you and God bless...Pam
