Surgeon Testimonial

Osvaldo C. Anez
When I first met Dr. Anez a couple of years ago I remembered he was very soft spoken and smiley. He was all business and he talked to me about the procedure and walked me step by step through the diagram of the surgery he was going to perform. He used colored pencils to show the differences in the organs and wrote down all the steps. He seemed a bit \"robotic\" in his presentation and made me think to myself, wow he has been doing this for a really long time. He was very scripted and didn't really venture off his path. While I appreciated his professionalism, he definitely lacked in the \"get to know you\" aspect. On the other hand, he isn't a therapist and I didn't expect him to \"help\" me with my emotional journey. He is a surgeon and a very well qualified one at that. His credentials and experience speak for themselves. I actually like his soft demeanor. Nonetheless, his part was done after surgery anyway. Post-op I started to see his P.A. Tiffany. She is fantastic! I can see why Dr. Anez hired her--she is the one with the more outgoing personality. It's a good balance. Everyone from the beginning was great! Ashley the insurance coordinator was on top of everything and was really organized. I would recommend Dr. Anez and his staff to anyone looking for a competent surgeon.

Its been awhile since my last post! Last week Michael and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary. We spent the weekend at the Gaylord National Hotel at the National Harbor and had an AMAZING weekend! Together we walked (and jogged a little!) our first 5K in 56 minutes. It was so great! Maybe next year I will be able to jog the whole thing! I think I will make that my goal.  I have DEFINITELY hit a (temporary) plateau right now. It's a little scary, because I feel like 'omigod, that's it, I'm done losing weight!'--But I have been reassured that this happens and it is normal. Ironically, I FINALLY joined a gym almost 2 weeks ago and have been trying to go everyday! I am only doing the treadmill right now because that's what I am most comfortable with. In the beginning I started with 30 min at 3.5mph but now I am at 45min varying my incline (up to 10) and sporadically running here and there to increase my heart rate. It feels great!!!  I met with a trainer, and she showed me all the other equipment in the gym so I look forward to working my way up to the weights and all the other different machines--I will admit its a little intimidating, but its fun! They also offer free classes and tonight (in a half hour!) I will be taking my very first yoga class! I am excited and nervous! I have always wanted to try yoga! So, that is all for now! Peace out!
Just finished my first 5K funwalk!
