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.

01/02/06 Well the holidays are done. This morning I weighed 237. wow that is 59lbs. I feel good. Still have a lot of nausia. Still can't get 64oz of fluid in. The cold stuff just doesn't settle. I had my GB US Saturday. See doctor tomorrow to find out if I have Gallstones. My clothes have gone from a size 28 paints to a 22-20 and my shirts are from a 3x-4x 28 to a 2x. I need new undergarments that is for sure. Start a new little job tomorrow. Just going to babysit for my sister and 2 of her 4 children. She had a baby girl the same day I had my surgery plus she has a 2 year old boy. I just love the kids. When I had mine I had to go right back to work so I missed all the baby days. I feel so good, I could probably get a regurlar job but I couldn't afford clothes right now. Oh well just wanted to do a quick update. It feels great knowing I am not setting some New Years resolution this year only to fail at my diet like always. I am going to be a loser. YEA
