I WENT AND MET DR. BAKER THIS MORNING. I WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH HIM. HE SEEMED VERY NICE AND ACTED LIKE A CARING DOCTOR. I THINK FOM EVERYTHING I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR THAT HE WILL BE A GOOD DOCTOR FOR ME. HE SAID THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY COMPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF MY ANEURYSM! THAT MADE ME FEEL BETTER.
I HAD MY SURGERY ON MAY 1ST AND I THINK DR. BAKER IS AWESOME. HE MADE ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE AND HE SMILED ALOT. HE HAS A GREAT BEDSIDE MANNEER!

My Story

I am waiting to hopefully get surgery. I went to my orientation last night and today I got sit up for my first appointments. I have been overweight for around 30 years! I have tried every diet you can think of. about 6 years ago, I found out that I have a thoractic aneurysm. They do not want to operate on it as it is very risky for me. One thing that will make my aneurysm grow is high blood pressure. I have had bad blood pressure for quite sometime. I take all kinds of medicine but my weight is affecting my life. For years I have performed as a country gospel singer and now feel out of place when iI have to walk up on a stage with everyone looking at me. It is hard to move sometimes. I love to sing for the Lord and I would like my life to be different so I can get my health under control. I have 4 children and 9 grandchildren that I want to be around for.
