Surgeon Testimonial

Adolfo Fernandez
My surgeon Adolfo Fernandez best known by his staff & patients as FUZZ is a wonderful man, surgeon, dr, etc. The first time I saw him was at a support group mtg I attended with a friend who had RNY by Fuzz, I thought gosh he looks really young but man he's good looking. Then when he talked & answered questions I realized how intelligent he was & that he really knew his stuff when it came to WLS. He has always been very nice when I've seen him. He came in the "holding" room before my surgery & talked a while to me, my momma, Ma & my bff Becca. Becca took a pic of me & him~gotta figure out how to get it downloaded so you all can see him too. His nurse Elizabeth is one of my favorite ppl that I've dealt with. She is sooooo sweet & just down to earth. Also, Jeff the psychologist & Amber the nutritionist are very good at what they do. The aftercare program they offer & how they make sure you understand what you have to do & need to do to succeed is awesome. They are all there & willing to help at any time. Everyone I've had to deal with~Fuzz, Elizabeth, Amber, Jeff, other hospital staff, EVERYBODY~has been great to me & I truly believe it was b/c of their care & concern for me that made my whole preop, surgery, hospital stay & now post op so easy for me to deal with. I can't say enough how great Fuzz & his staff are. I would recommend & do recommend him to anyone that has asked or may ask about a WLS surgeon

Here I am
on July 25, 2008 1:52 pm
Hey ya'll Well, surgery was  Monday, came home (to my momma's) on  Wed & now I'm back  in my own house. My  surgery went great. I've had very lil  pain. I was in my  room on Monday  around 5pm & was up  walking around 8pm. I did start my "dot"  Sunday night so I  think the cramping  took away from the "surgery" pain. I'm  still tender & a lil  sore in spots but mostly where I'd  have to pull all my  weight up into the hospital bed with my right side (IV was in the left hand). I'm only 5'2" and even when we lowered the hospital bed as low as it would go I had to "jump/climb/scoot" myself into the bed  &  to get comfortable. Going to the bathroom was the hardest thing for me (not the actual going~"cleaning up" when I was done~TMI I know). Thanks to everyone for their thoughts & prayers. As I start weighing I'll post pics & my  progress. Take care my OH family, love you all.

Hugs,
TC

Tomorrow is MY DAY
on July 20, 2008 8:18 am
Hey ya'll. Can't believe it....tomorrow is MY DAY. I'm feeling (surprisingly) pretty calm today (or maybe it's "numb"). I'll post as soon as I can once I'm home. Please say a prayer for me tomorrow.

So glad it's in the morning. I am on liquids all day Sunday but I was told by the hospital that I can have liquids now til 4:00 am on Monday morning~hope I'm snoozing @ 4am.

OK. A week from tomorrow w/b my "rebirthday". I'm excited & part of me is so ready. The other part is nervous & scared. I'm having all the scary, negative thoughts. Wondering is this the right thing? Will I make it thru? What about my kids if I don't make it? But then again I think how long will I be around for them if I don't have it. Did anybody else have these thoughts the closer it got to their date? I trust Fuzz completely & know he'll do a great job just my pesimistic (spelling?) side, I reckon. Hopefully the positive thoughts will kick in & "overtake" the negative ones soon. Pls pray for me. Any words of encouragement w/b greatly appreciated.

Goodnight.

Pre~op day
on July 11, 2008 6:42 pm

Hey ya'll . Today was my preop appts & my NUT class. Got up early so I could be at the lab by no later than 7:15 to give urine & blood. My first appt was @ 9:30 so went by cashiers & paid the $$~ouch. Then made it to my first appt early & they got me on back & done with. Went by financial counseling, got there & she said she didn't need to see me after all thank goodness. My momma & me had about 2.5 hrs to waste so we went to the cafe & waited for them to serve lunch, ate lunch & spent the whole time talking & just spending quality mother/daughter time together~I love her so much. 12:30 NUT class, this was very helpful & interesting....loved the fact she gave us free samples of things to try after surgery before buying alot of stuff we may not like after surgery. Last appt was @ 1:30 my bp was 109/63 so I was plzd with that, seen Elizabeth (my nurse~love her) thought that was gonna be it for the day but they needed to do my gallbladder/liver ultrasound so they worked me in, memories of my 2 pregnancies.....actually laying on that bed, the lights dimmed & 2 different ppl rubbing on my belly 'bout put me to sleep, 'specially since it'd been a long day....no gallstones~yipppeeee. Anyway, left around 4pm....long day but they moved me thru all my appts quickly which I was very surprised b/c there were others there that seemed to be running behind at their appts. Hopefully the actual surgery will go this smooth. I'm praying all goes good and just putting it in God's hands. Preop diet still going ok, better than I expected. Thanks for stopping by. Goodnight
