Surgeon Testimonial

Josh Steiner, M.D.
I would just like to say that Dr.Neighbert took me in under his care as a transfer patient. My Doc(Dr.Randell Bolar) moved to Tenn. in May 2006. I would like to say that Dr.Neighbert has saved my life. I meet with him and he is a very nice man, i love the staff and i think they have a better program that Bolar did. St.Joe East is a great hospital and they do have wonderful care..........Thanks Dr.Neighbert and satff...................Vickie R.

My Story

 

 

 


9/1/05
Hi,My name is vickie,I have been overweight for about 10 years.I have been with my husband for 14 years.I meet him when i was 15, he is the love of my life! I'm also a proud mother of a 10 year old. My daughter was born in 95". I have been struggling with my weight since i had her.When i was pregnant i weighed 160lbs,after she was born i weighed 210lbs. I thought i would lose alot after the pregancy ,but i gained. By the time she was 2 i weighed 230lbs.Thats when i went to the doctor for help. I started taken meridia in 97" and it worked for about 6 months. Then i fell back into the weight gain again. Then 2 years later i weighed 238lbs. I started taken xenical and topamax,that worked for about a year.I lost 38 lbs. that was the best i felt in years. Then i just gained all of that back that i lost(and more).Thats when i did atkins, then diabetic diet. Then i had a friend that had gastric bypass in may of 2004. She suggested i look into it. Thats when i started doing my home work on the surgery. I have found a great doctor in lexington ky (Dr.Randell Bolar) i went to his seminar aug.28th. They will call me for a consultaion next week sometime. I will keep this updated!

THE REASON I WANT THIS SURGERY IS..... I want to be HAPPY,HEALTHY,and help prevent more weight related health problems. I think if I wasn't fat I wouldn't be so insecure about myself. I blame everything on my weight......like being depressed all the time. Like having no sexual feelins for hubby when he touches me. Somedays I feel like if I drive him away he would be so much better off. I would like to be on the other side like..........oh let's go out dancin or let's go to the mall ( not like oh my knees won't hold up) or even just a nice night out on the town. I no that my weight isn't to blame for everything but it is for 90% of it. But really I can't say because iv'e always been overweight.
