Met Dr Jeffrey Henke

Aug 19, 2014

Today was my preop visit and I met Dr. Henke.  I was surprised at how much he was similar to Dr Kuhn.  He was soft spoken, gentle, straightforward and professional but smiled a lot.  It was an awkward meeting for me because I told him of course that he is not Dr. Kuhn and I just did not know him but soon my apprehension went away.  We talked about the surgery and he answered all of my questions.  I found out that I had lost 12 lbs and my liver was already shrunken to normal size for the surgery.  He was very please, but I also learned I did not need to start preop diet until Aug 21st, lol.  I was glad I got an early start on it anyway.  I went to Medical City for the pre admission and received the usual good care.  Ultrasound showed my gallbladder at this time to be fine.

I am so relieved so maybe tonight I will finally get some needed rest!  Thank you Dr. Kuhn for picking a great partner in Dr. Henke.  RIP dear sir!
