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 haven't up dated for awhile. I've lost about 30 lbs since April 28th when I was discharged. I had thought that the incision site above my belly button was getting infected. Ended up the suture wasn't dissolving the way it should have. I looked down and thought OMG!!!! that looks like pus. Nope it was the stitches going across.........LOL.  They ended up putting some silver nitrate on it x2 to draw the stitch out. Now it's healing with no problem. I got a letter from Medicare the other day saying they wont cover the cost of the surgery. I guess my back collapsing due to my obesity isn't a co-morbidity. Once again Medicare - proving how lame the goverment can be. They tell you after the fact you're not approved and tell you you should have gotten approved first but they wont do that.   ??????????? I'm having trouble eating I don't know why. I get really hungry. Get the headache empty tummy feeling and I eat. Then I get the OMG I'm going to throw up feeling and a headache. I make sure that I stop frequently to gauge how full I am and don't over eat. I've done that twice. DO NOT want to do it again.
     I'm still waiting for my body to feel better. I'm hurting just as bad as I was before. I am long past ready for the pain to quit. I just keep praying hoping somehow God hears my feeble prayers.
