Surgeon Testimonial

John W. Baker M.D.
My first impression of Dr. Baker is that he truly cares about obesity as an epidemic and helping obese individuals. That impression has stayed with me both times I have met him. His staff is very friendly in person. On the phone, they seem a little eager to get OFF the phone. (I understand that, they're busy.) I don't have anything that I dislike about him so far. Future patients should know that he is no-nonsense, direct and honest. (He has beautiful blue eyes too that almost hypnotize you if you look into them while he's talking to you. It's weird - I'm not kidding.) He really puts an emphasis on aftercare, even going so far as to say that he doesn't want you for a patient if you aren't going to do the aftercare. He does have a structured aftercare program that is really supportive. He is blunt about the risks of surgery in his seminars and in all the paperwork you have to sign. I would rate him a 10 out of 10. Both surgical competence and bedside manner are great.

127 and still remodeling...
on September 13, 2009 1:27 pm
Still no word on the carpet replacement.  Sucks waiting.

Granite should be installed this Friday (hubby's day off thankfully so I don't have to deal with it).

Between daughter's cheering and son's football, every single weeknight is spent on their activities with sparadic nights here and there that are "mine".  Those are spent catching up on every other aspect of my life. 

Very busy.  Very stressed.  Having to constantly talk myself out of "self-medicating" with food.  Been successful at talking myself out of gourging my way out of my anxiety though.  So that's good.  Last (approximately) 4 months have been the most stressful of my life.  Still maintaining though.  Still eating and drinking well.  Just staying right on the edge of sanity.  Need to work on calming the nerves before it does me in.
