Surgeon Testimonial

Andrew Hajduczek, M.D.
my surgeon is the best surgein in the world.I owe him the next 20 years of my life that i would never have had.He is very standoffish at first but once you get to know him he is a really good guy.i cant wait to see him next month.
One thing i really want to say is i really didnt feel as much pain as i thought I would .I really thought i would cause i was in surgery for 5 1/2 hrs due to a enlarged liver.He really knows his stuff and he is awesome!!!!!

DEPRESSION GO FIGURE
Yes believe it or not i am fighting depression big time.I have been sleeping a great deal.I mean all night and most of the day.My friends say well thats natural you have had a big surgery so you should sleep.Well i know that this is a problem cause when i sleep even when im sore from sleeping there is something wrong.
So why am I depressed you ask.I have had this awesome surgery that is changing my health,my life,and even increased my life expectancy incredibly,and i am whinning .Well I am mourning the loss of food.Can you believe it,im crying over the loss of my pizzas.I wonder sometimes did I do the right thing,maybe I cant live without a rack of ribs once a month or the ROBBY  GORDON RIB EYE at DALTONS steak house.All I know is talking bout it helps and thats what i am doing.
Yesterday i started my first meeting with jason who is my new therapist.I will meet with him once a week for a while and figure out just what makes me tick.Then I will proceed to get rid of the tocks.Ha im crazy with metaphores.
To say that im sorry I had this surgery would totally be wrong.I will tell you though that jst cause you have this surgery does not mean you are healed by no means.This surgery is just a tool to help me get myself back on track and the only way that will happen is if i work my ass of to get there.

Kev-Keep your chin up friend. Won't be long and you will be able to have those things just in moderation. Quit beating yourself up over the food and find something new to love whether it is walks in the park or on the treadmill. Just keep telling yourself that you are the greatest and this is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. You will be just rocking and rolling here soon and much happier. All I think that go through this especially the first week and months experience what you are feeling. You are so worth this and there isn't a pizza or steak that will bring you happiness!! God bless-Margie

Hey Kev, I just read your post. You are just fine. Weightloss has a grieving process. You have lost a good friend, food. But you can "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again". (Heard that in a song) LOL. You are on the right track talking to Jason. You are worth every moment of this struggle. Take Care. Carol
