Surgeon Testimonial

Tananchai Lucktong, M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Lucktong, and all of his staff actually, are that they are very caring people that want to see you succeed. Each person took the time to explain what was going on and what I was going to need to do. Dr. Lucktong was very thorough in the questions he asked and made sure that I was having this surgery done for the right reasons. I've not had my surgery yet so I have no "after" stories to tell.

I really guess I should give my reasons why I want WLS. I've been overweight most of my life. Done all the diets.....up then down then up. I had scolosis (curvature of the spine) when I was a kid and had surgery to correct it when I was 13 years old. They placed Harrington rods and fused several discs. I am now 48 years old and the areas above and below the rods has curved. I now have a 1inch lift in my left shoe and use a cane to ambulate at all times. I am in pain every single day . It's even worse when I try to do the simplest of things. Like bending over to pick up a piece of paper......frustrating. Now in addition to all of the back stuff I've found out , in the last year, that I have arthritis in my hips so bad that the joints have begun to fuse, None of the ortho docs will even think of touching me at 100lbs over my normal weight. I want my life back. I have a great guy in my life and one of the reasons I wanted to be with him was because he likes to go places and do things like I do. All of this happend .....I lost my job in 06' due to back problems......finally got disability in 08'. Things have been going down hill with my health and mobility ever sense. I'm really to get this extra weight off and live my life with him the way I want. With the freedom to move around. So wish me luck and say a prayer. I hope what ever goals you wish for you find at your door.

Talked to Michelle, the scheduler at Dr. LuckTongs office. I am scheduled for pre-op consult with him April the 22. Hopefully I'll be able to get the pre-op testing done at the same time.My surgery date is set for the 26th of April. I never really realized how excited I'd be and scared to death at the same time. This has moved so smoothly I'm wondering what's going to go wrong. I think everyone that has this surgery feels the same way. You want it sooooooooo bad that when things finally get to the point where it's going to happen, you're afraid they wont.
