Surgeon Testimonial

Daniel Jones, M.D.
I met Dr. Jones at my first info meeting and instantly liked him. He seemed down to earth and extremely competent if not a tad bit serious. I have finished all of the testing and have a surgery date of 9/12/5 but I had to have my gallbladder out first..When I talked with Dr. Jones in pre-op I noticed something about him that you don't see in the office or meetings - He really loves what he does.

Gallbladder surgery - My surgery was pushed back in the day due to his first patient being a bit more involved than anticipated. Instead of Dr. Jones appearing tired and worn out it was just the opposite - he was raring to go. He has always been informative, compassionate, and very knowledgeable but to see that he also truly enjoys his job (which is rare no matter what you do) makes him amazing.

Lap-Band surgery - Once again Dr. Jones has done a stellar job. As of day 6 I feel like my self again.

I would recommend Dr. Jones to anyone and everyone and I am so glad that I found him!

On the tech side:
Office staff: Awesome - Angi and Debbie are the best. The whole bariatric team is great!
Aftercare - big into aftercare you get a 1 year schedule and your fist appointment is made before surgery.
Risks - very up front about all risks
Rate - A+

    Hi Lynn, I don't know how to contact you so this is the only passageway I found. Regarding the gallbladder, my PCM also suggested I have the gallbladder removed prior to WLS. I can really relate to your schedule of preop events. Lynn, Here is a question of concern I have, (sounds a tad bit trite), Did you experience any significant hair loss, and if so, how bad was it and at what stage out of the 2 major surgeries did it occur?

Well, I did it....I joined a gym. At 13 months out and a comfortable fill level acheived I am still not losing as much as I would like and I know what the answer is but I just haven't wanted to admit it. I need more exercise...I hate exercise. Well I don't really hate it I have just never been consistant. So Hubby and I got a family membership at the YMCA...about 10 minutes down the road. They have all the classes, treadmills, elipticals, circuit machines, free weights, pool, whirlpool, steam room, sauna and vollyball (which I really loved in high school). We go monday for out intro session and then we are on our own. I am excited and terrified at the same time but I know that it is the next step....one that I have to take if I want this all to work.... I guess I will be posting on Caeli's thread every day .... just to keep me honest
