Surgeon Testimonial

Marina Kurian, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Kurian was wow she is young. (lol) Off the back I liked her. When she first meet me she told me wow look at that big smile you have. She sat down with me and my mother and told us everything we needed to know about the surgery. She even asked personal questions to get to know what type of person I was. She was very genuine and treated me more than just another patient. On the day of surgery she came in my prep room and chatted with my family and I. We spoke about cruises and places wev'e traveled to before. We laughed and shared each other stories. You would think that I was not about to have surgery any minute. When I first went to the center I had three doctors to pick from. I ask the receptionist which one had the closest date and she told me Dr. Kurian, so I decided to go with her. My mom wanted me to go with the most popular surgeon but I told her all three surgeons were good. I had a gut feeling about Dr. Kurian and even though I had to reschedule my surgery and had the opportunity to pick a different surgeon and decided to stick with Dr. Kurian again. I just knew she was the right person for the job and I was right. She is wonderful and I have no regrets picking her or doing the surgery. Thanks Dr. Kurian. You’re the Best!!!

P.S. The only problem I had at NYUMC was the coordinator NILSA. That woman is the worst and I plan on writing a long letter about her horriable service. She is the worst and needs to learn how to do her job better.

6/7/08 New Update
Well its been a lil bit since I last post but im still here.  I have not dropped off the face of the earth.  Things have been a lil up and down for me.  My eating has picked up alot since the last couple of weeks which means I need a second fill.  I really dont want one but im going to break down and get one.  Ive been trying to control the way I eat but it gets hard.  I still feel a lil restriction but im sure I can feel alot more with a small fill.  I go on vacation Aug 1st so I will make sure to get one before that time comes.  So one bad thing I can say about this whole journey im going thru is the hair loss problem.  All of my hair fell right out since I started this process.  I think the stress from the surgery cause my hair to fall out and now I am forced to cut it all off.  I knew that it was breaking off before surgery but now its a mess.   It doesn't even feel like my hair anymore.  I tried to save it by putting a weave in it and giving it a break but that just made it worst.  I guess I was trying to prolong the process.  I knew that eventually I would have to cut it but I didnt realize I would have to cut it all off.  Its in such bad shape and I might have to cut it as short as rihanna hair cut.  Good thing my hair dresser is the bomb and cuts really well.  Im gong to go this week and get it done.  Hopefully it looks good and I can post some pictures on here.  You all can tell me what you think of it when I put pics up.  I have not gotten on the scale in such a long time.  I feel like im loosing but very slow which is fine with me.  I started back walking alot and I finally start the gym this week.  I was thinking of hiring my trainer again but im not sure if I can afford him right now.  My goal right now is to drop 10 pds before I go to barbados in Aug.  We will see if I can do it.  Overall life has been good so far post op.  My job have been stressing me out lately and im just sick and tired of people.  I think I need to just be alone right now and get my life together.  Sometimes I feel really lonely and just want someone in my life to be there at the drop of a dime.  I feel like God has bless me so much this year and I should just be happy with my blessings.  Hopefully things get better for me.  I decided to go back to school in the fall.  I think I need to make changes in my life when it comes to my job.  I hate what I do and want to do something new that include traveling and helping people.  I was thinking about being a guidance counselor in a school.  Work with kids and get the summer off sounds great to me.  Its just a thought right now not set in stone.  Whatever I decide to do I need to start working on it now cause im not getting any younger.  Well thats all I got for now.  Until I blog next time chaio!!!!!!!!

Hello Ms. Vonette,

You look fierce regardless of your hair. I think it accentuates your pretty face better. I feel you on the eating part. Just hang in there and you'll get right back on track. Try eating more protein like 80 grams a day. You might have a protein defiency that is causing your hair to go. I started losing my hair in the beginning when I was on liquids. So I upped the protein and it has not fallen out since. Just a suggestion. Have fun on your trip. You deserve a getaway.
