Ki Hyun Oh M.D. The one thing I would say about Dr. Oh is that he's not there to be your friend. However, he's done about twenty billion of these surgeries and you couldn't really ask for a more skilled surgeon. My personal opinion is that if you require friendly banter or amiable interaction and great bedside manner, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a smart doctor with a low rate of complications, Dr. Oh might be a good surgeon for you.
One month; two triumphs; three-year-olds. Yesterday was my one-month surgiversary. In an ironic turn of events, I got accosted by a group of preschool kids while waiting at the bus stop. Upon seeing me there, one three year old boy pointed at me and said quite loudly "that lady's fat!" which of course led to the subsequent pointing and whispering of the entire gaggle of twenty children. Oy.
In other news, things are going all right, I suppose. I think I eat too much, although I still have to make a conscious effort to make myself stop, even after I start to feel full. I definitely am not doing a great job getting my vitamins in, although I do now take at least my multi every day, as well as my D and B-12 most days, since that's what I was deficient in from the beginning. My energy isn't too bad, all things considering. I feel like I'm improving, at least. I walked to work last week and even though the 1.5-mile trip did wear me out, and did take a bit longer than I would have liked, I made it. I've also made plans to go to the gym on weekdays with my friend, so that should be good, right?
I still haven't the slightest clue how much I've lost. I guess I'll find out at my appointment on Friday, though.
