Surgeon Testimonial Steven Slikkers, M.D. wow great guy I have great faith in him, he is so very nice. treated me with respect and gave me dignity that I rarely encounter with medical professionals, I was actually very impressed with the whole medical team at munsen medical centre. I am still waiting for tests and a surgury date but he was able to answer all my questions and he put me completly at ease.he was wonderful and came to see me right before surgury right after surgury and later that day , he was so awesome so gentle and so kind and reachable.when my pain meds where making me nauseated he was around to change them right away. he took my drain out himself to save me a five hour drive for just a drain removal. over all he is my new hero I could not have been in better hands I would recommend him and his whole clinic and team to anyone anywhere.Hands down the best surgeon/person I have met in the medical field.

well I am officially on the losers bench now all I have to do is start losing.It went fairly smoothly all in all one small hitch the dilaudid they gave me for pain also gave me the dry heaves which made the first day a little rough, but after they switched me to morphine all was right with the world again. the hospital was great the nurses where fabulous and soooooo sapportive many of them having had this surgury themselves, and the best thing of all the changes in my insulin status. I have not required any insulin at all today, considering I was taking over 800 units a day that in itself is a miracle.if nothing else changes I would still do this again in a heartbeat......I am looking forward to healing up all my incisions so that I can begin exercising in earnest and I am looking forward to full fluids just for a change of texture and variety, not due to hunger I feel no hunger at all it is so weird my hubby was feeling bad about eating in front of me but it doesn't bother me at all, I have no desire to eat and considering he has had burgers and pizza and stuff like that it amazes me that I am not drooling all over his lap. that in itself is a miracle. maybe feeling like someone pulled out all my guts and then shoved them back in in a bunch of knots is why....lol..okay a big exxageration there I am tender, but not unbearable.My very first thought when I woke up was oh god what have I done? cause I was hurting pretty bad then but it got better real fast I think they are right in the key being good pain control leave the tough guy stuff for the morons that say yeah punch my stomache....I am happy to admit I am a huge wussy when it comes to pain my theory is just say please now to drugs.........well thats about all my morphine weary brain is able to blog about tonight will keep you all updated thanks for your prayers your kind words positive thoughts and well wishes all are greatly appreciated.....
