Surgeon Testimonial

Matthew Brackman M.D.
Dr Brackman is a doll. The first meeting with him I didn't feel ashamed or like I was being judge. Totally relax and felt that he would take good care of me. He sends you home with a folder and a check list of everything you need to know and what you need to do to emphasize everything he tells you. There's even a True/False test to make sure you know what you're getting into.rnrnHis office staff is amazing. When you call and talk to Sandy she tells you like it is and will answer any question you can think of that she has an answer to. I definetly feel I made the right decision for me by working with Dr Brackman and his staff and wouldn't change a thing if I had to.rnrnOnly thing I wished for was longer office hours. Our scheduals did not mesh well since I worked the same hours as the office.

Not Fun
on September 16, 2007 8:12 am
     Ever feel like you are surrounded with all kinds of support but still alone? I have this past week and let me tell you it sucks big time. Could I talk to all the people I know that have had the surgery...yes and they would know what to say but a part of me would still not be totally satisfied. Do I know what they would be likely to say...yes again that's why I wouldn't be satified.
     I would just like the people around me...family and friends that I have lived and grown with to truly understand why I am my own worst enemy...even though some days I myself can't figure it out. Everyone is changing and I have to wonder if its me. Is it cause I'm changing mentally and becoming more needy that I want more attention then I had before? I don't think I was always a really needed person cause lets face it we all need someone once in a while. I just don't know anymore. Maybe I have lost my self somewhere and no one...not even me...knows who I am anymore.

A New Life
on August 4, 2007 8:32 am

Well it's been 6 days since I had surgery. I feel fine exept for some soreness. Word to the wise...don't sleep on your side. I have a habit and did that my first night home from the hospital. I now have a HUGE bruise on the right side. Not too bright on my part but ya live and ya learn. I haven't gotten sick except once in the hospital after the first time eating anything...or should I say drinking. After that it has been smooth sailing. I do think I am suffering a little bit of dumping syndrome but I will know on Tuesday for my post op drs visit. I have a feeling I will be in trouble with the dr cause of the bruise...its healing so its turning all kinds of wonderful colors but he already got annoyed when I told him I took off some of the tape he left on and kinda opened a wound. Shame shame on me. Whats a girl to do? I can take it...lol was driving day after I got out of the hospital...not far just up the road. I refuse to walk in 90 degree weather. Thats why man made A/C and its free in the store. Until next time....tootles
