Surgeon Testimonial

Thomas Sonnanstine M.D.
I was very excited to meet Dr. Sonnastine. I first heard about him when he came to town and started practicing at St. Luke. He was very informative. Answered all my questions. He explained the risks and he also reassured me how he will be with me, several times a day over the course of my hospital stay. I also feel very confident he is going to take great care of me. He assured me he would honor my dignity during surgery. That is something that is very important to me. I was not referred to him I chose him based on the information I researched about him. I know I have made the right choice. I am now 11mths out. My surgery was 10/17/05. Dr. Sonnanstine has been wonderful. I started at 296 and today I weigh 163. The post op group sessions are monthly and very informative. I have had no complications and I have gotten answers to any questions right away. Since having my surgery my niece has used Dr. Sonnanstine and my 2 sisters are in the process of approval. His bedside manner was unlike anyother doctors that I have known. On the day of my surgery I know I saw him 4-5 times. He was straight forward in educating me on the risk involved, which I did my homework and I knew. My only regret was I had not found Dr. Sonnanstine sooner.

    I just saw Angela's post on the KY board, and I feel awful about the situation you guys are in. Remember, you have friends on the KY board, and there's a lot of us praying for you.

I am married to a wonderful husband and have 2 daughters, twins, that are 7 years old.  I have researched for 2 years and its time. My quality of life is terrible.  I am so tired of telling my girls I can't play outside or if I do I sit down to turn the jump rope because my back is killing me.
 I have been over weight my entire life.  I can remember 
1st grade buying school clothes.  Back then you had to wear skirts or dresses.  My mom took me to Penney's.  They only had 1 style dress in the little girls plus size.  It was plaid with a white color.  Needless to say that was the only thing I wore the whole year.  I had the dress in every plaid color they made. To this date I hate plaid.

Its so hard to believe I lived through another Holiday Season.  What is so cool is I am the same size.  That is something that just tickles me to death.  I even wore the same shirt as last year.  Dumb me.  Weight is still staying about 168-172.  I am ok with this.  It's hard because I was able to be in the 150's but my body has settled here.  I had a hysterectomy last year and I just think this is a normal weight for being 48.  311 seems so long ago yet I still look in the mirror and see 311.  Skin issues is such a hard thing.  I go back and forth.  Who knows maybe some day.

We celebrated the holidays in our new house.  We changed some traditions, like no gift exchange.  Instead we just enjoyed the company.  Had good snacks, not all bad.  It was the first stress free Christmas I have had in years.  I enjoyed it so much.
